Tovih, about age 16 (aged through Nexus, outside of time)

Without a doubt, Ring of Fire was where Tovih wanted to be for a while. She hoped that she'd be bonding soon, of course, but there were things here to do that just weren't available either at the Den or the Plateau. Watching that big ring of fire itself, for one thing.

She thought that the Plateau could use one of those...

But for a couple weeks she explored and finally after one night of hunting for flitter eggs (which she found, you'll see) she rested soundly for the night. It had been a long week, too, with saddle-training, flight exersizes and the like having taken their toll on not just her, but most of the younger candidates.

Or did she? The eggs were hatching - someone yelled and woke her up. Groggily, she moved toward the hatching sands, and by golly there they were, wobbly and trembling. Noisy things. All everywhere, just noise. "Why do dragon eggs seem to like hatching in the morning?" She grumbled.

It didn't take long, before the eggs began to show signs of breaking. One from someone's nest - it clearly wasn't from the female's nest who guarded it - popped open with a crash and there was a lovely black and silver. She snarled looking around at people, but then Tovih heard a private thought in her head.

Where is she? Where?!

Tovih moved toward the hatchling, perhaps she hadn't seen her. With relief, the hatchling placed her head on Tovih's leg. You were smart not to go to another place. Those others would have not been at all worthy of you. My name's Yugure, by the way.

"Welcome Yugure!" Tovih stated, and I'm glad too. I wouldn't want you to be alone.

Proud and happy, the pair went off to find breakfast.

...........................................

Only a few days later, the eggs that Tovih had found while rooting around in the halls had hatched. They were hungry, loud, and they bothered Yugure.

Why can they not be silent?

"Because they're hungry. Just like you were when you hatched!" Tovih said. "Now, just hush yourself. They'll be fine."

Yugure grumbled again, but watched as her bond fed the little ravenous creatures.

They look just alike to me. What are they called?

"This one's Tatsu," she said of the one with long horns, "and the girl is Suijin."

Yugure looked closely at the two. One of them, Tatsu, bit her nose.

How can you even tell them apart?

"I can. You will eventually." Tovih got wistful. She missed her baby...

I am not sure I want to.... I want to see your home. When will that happen?

"When you're old enough to teleport, my dear..." Tovih grinned. "Not for a while. Let's enjoy being here for now."

With the pair of annoying fire-winged flitters dancing atop Yugure's head, she hardly looked the part...

Name: Yugure (Have to look it up)
Gender: Female
Bond: Tovih
Color: Black-silver
Size: 40'
Strength: 7
Magic: 9

More length than bulk, but still with a bad attitude. Yugure is vicious and easily set off, don't cross her. Although she doesn't have the ability to shapeshift, she does have dragon magic of exceptional power...
