Willow - By CatC

Bio: Was part of a dragon clan called “Salix”. The clan is devoted to nature in both the land and in the sea. It is divided into two sections for land and sea. Willow was half and half. Her mother, Peachleaf, was from the land section. Her father, Scouler, was from the water section. A half and half was quite rare for the time and was a very strange happening. Soon after Willow’s birth, a clan of evil wyverns attacked the clan killing both of her parents and hundreds of others. The few survivors fled from the area and disappeared. Willow was an orphan and was cold and abandoned. An elder dragon traveler named Moonbeam found her weak and buried beneath the debris. Over the years that followed she grew steadily. Her powers were strong and appeared at a young age. She could talk to almost all animals and could heal a full grown tree in seconds. As she grew her powers grew stronger. Moonbeam formed a strong bond with her over the years that helped mold her kind heart. She wondered though who she really was and why she was a different color than Moonbeam. Then one night, Moonbeam felt something was wrong. He called Willow, who was now 15 years old, over to his side. He told of the attack and that he had found her, she was the only one there. As he told Willow of her past, he began to fade. His once silver scales, were now a dulling steel. After the story was over, he told her to always do the right thing and to never lose hope. Willow, in tears, knew that he was fading fast. She quickly tried to heal him, but he softly chuckled and softly told her that once the Guardian called you, it was time to go. Willow stayed up all that night with tears slowly falling to the cave floor. The next morning, she carried rocks down from the mountain and did something that a dragon can only do out of great love. She turned the stone to a bright silvery slab that had the likeness of Moonbeam etched upon it. For each dragon the color is different and the type of stone is different. After she shed her last tears, she began her search for survivors of her long lost clan.
