Back!

Vid'amalom was content to follow in her ancestor's tracks for a while, but there did come a day when she knew she had to get out and about. One of the places she visited seasonally was a world of heroic deeds and super people - and super dragons. Paragon City by name, it harbored many interesting people and dragons. One of them certainly caught her eye... how could he not, after all he burned with such an amazing fire that she felt the need to watch him for hours.

Criao Chxalli was his name, he told her from afar with his warm and flickering mind-voice. And oh how she melted... not literally, because she had strong control over ice, at any rate. But she wanted to see more of this intriguing, fiery male. Much more.

She could come to him in dreams, and he would welcome her. Eventually they flew brightly over the chill night skies of Paragon together, occasionally joined by other dragons, but mostly just the two of them. They joined frequently throughout summer and autumn, and enjoyed each other's company until Vid'amalom knew she'd become heavy with offspring. That, and she was due back to the Wintery places with her great-grandsire. So she bid Criao a temporary farewell - he would easily be able to visit her whenever he wanted, she'd shown him where to go.

And then... she dropped a dozen pups. Liveborn, which was unusual for only parts of her lineage. And they were bright, and they burned, or glowed, or shimmered. They, like some of her other ancestors, spread to the winds and the worlds of the Nexus during a big Winter Gather. But one remained, he named himself Berza Houtalli, and he was magnificent. He'd certainly inherited a bit of his sires' self-inflated attitude, but that was perfectly fine, after all he was stunning. Vid'amalom presented her brood to their sire, and he was duly impressed as well. Berza would likely spend some time each year drifting around with his mother, and go to Paragon for the rest of the year.
