In a far castle, a dragon stirs...

As the setting sun heralds the end of a late spring day, a grendelchi makes his way slowly and carefully through the forest, carrying something small, but very precious. Eventually he reaches his destination: a gatehouse of sorts within a thick wall, with stone buildings beyond. It's been quite a while since he was last here.

Seiryu carries his burden into the keep, the high-ceilinged stone room where he himself hatched. He'd set off, many days ago, to try to find out more about this place, who had built it, and why he'd hatched here. Despite his searches, he wasn't much wiser. He'd found out early on that the castle had been home to a dragonchi, but the penny hadn't dropped even then. Some days ago, there'd been a shock of recognition on seeing a dark creatchi in the depths of the woods - but she'd taken off, scared at the sight of him. Seiryu had known he was different, but it took the near-miss with the other dragonchi to realise why.

Now, with time running out, he wonders if he should go in search of her again? It can't be co-incidence that they're both different.

But other things fill his mind... his parting from the blue grendelchi Marzipan, whom he'd almost failed to spot in the treetops one day. He thought he'd seen a patch of sky - until it had moved, and thrown an acorn at him! He'd hung around her for a while when he was younger, and probably made a bit of a nuisance of himself; but she was always flitting around, off seeing other creatchis. Marzipan seemed to know everyone. And eventually, Seiryu thought she might have a point, and started going off and meeting other creatchis and having fun himself. He still got together with Marzipan every now and again; and they'd been close enough to leave something behind them for the future.

Very carefully, Seiryu pulls together a soft nest of grasses in the middle of the room. After a little thought, he collects together the more interesting objects in the room - a couple of rough-cut gemstones, a tarnished dagger, and something that looks like a large, twisted bracelet - and tucks them in around the sides of the nest. A bit more arrangement of grasses, and two eggs are gently placed in the nest: one pale with a scattering of purple spots, the other a mass of blue and purple swirls. Both seem almost to glow in the dark room. Seiryu smiles, turns, and wanders back out into the dusk.

Sorry Layla, I've only just seen your update. DarbyDoo has agreed, so I'm afraid Seiryu's spoken for. I think OctoberFlash's Frederick is still free, though...

Ah, alright. :)

Seiryu's waiting on a response from Darby's Marzipan, I believe.

If you didn't have anyone in mind already, would you be interested in pairing up Seiryu with Firestorm?

Seiryu wakes in confusion from a dream that seemed very real; a bright green grendelchi giving him information about castles, and other grendelchis long dead. He seemed... familiar, somehow? Ruefully eyeing the remains of his last meal - he thought that cheese tasted funny - Seiryu stretches and goes exploring again.

His wanderings eventually lead him out of the forest, to a gate in a low wall. Passing through, he realises the area is a kind of memorial. There are pictures of creatchis here, some with writing beside them which he can't decipher. Strolling on, he realises this area is huge... the more he looks, the more pictures he finds.

Suddenly, a picture seems to jump out at him - an old green grendelchi, apparently asleep. The face is familiar, though. Seiryu last saw it beaming at him, just before he woke.

There's so much information here... if he could only decipher it. Seiryu decides to try to find someone to help him with that. He turns and heads out to the forest again, with the memory of another creature from his dream. What had the old green one called it? A dragonchi...? A vision of shining black scales, red eyes, fierce teeth and claws, and an air of undisguised menace. Seiryu really hopes he doesn't run into him - he looked like bad news!

Portcullis comes to Seiryu in a dream and tells him all about the history of the castle. He tells him who built what, who's lived there before, and told him where the best places to hunt for food and stone are. His information about food sources turns out the be wrong though. The last this Seriryu sees of Portcullis is is face beaming with happiness.

I just love his colors, he looks radiant! Makes me think about picking up a grendelchi next time...

Thank you for the ball, by the way.

The end of his second day, and Seiryu Manonoa is no closer to making sense of the world. He'd hacked his way from his shell to find himself perched upon an odd collection of objects, within a chill and dusty stone building. After - by a process of trial and error - finding food amongst the pile of stuff on the floor, he headed out to explore.

It seemed his hatching place was a stronghold of sorts; surrounded by four further rooms, with some kind of tower outside with the beginnings of a wall. A further search through the castle gave very few clues as to who had built it, or why, although he found some strange marks carved into one of the walls that looked like they could be meaningful.

A short nap later, bored and a little lonely, Seiryu heads off to see if he can find out a bit more about this strange world, and his place in it.
