Aurum's story was just as impactful. Mainly because she too, lost as an heir, in many ways. And yet, she found a place she could start anew. "Another wonderful story. Thank you, Aurum." She smiled against her teeth. Shifting a bit, she looked to the group. "I've got my own if any wish to hear it." As gazes turned to her, she cleared her throat. Oh, life stories...
"This story is more of a life story. From my hatch to my joining in Tanglewood," She drew a heavy breath. Here we go.. "I had hatched on a craggy shore that bordered a vast ocean, under the brilliant gaze of a truly blue moon. I had a strong father and a loving mother, and I had been hatched among many heirs of the ocean. Four sisters, two brothers. We were a great family, royals of the ocean. I played with my brothers, messed with my sisters, looked up to my parents. I was a good kid. But," She shuddered. Pain flashed in her fins.
"We weren't the only royals to call the ocean home. Spinosaurus, a mighty beast, also claimed home there. He would snatch carnivores from his depths, and we called him Depth-Charge. He was the cause of my siblings' deaths. I became an only child, and I was lonely. But things were good, we moved shores." She let out a brief huff, the image of her siblings burned into her head. Shaking her head, she continued. "When I was a teen, I separated from my parents to find my own home. It was rough, I had many battles. Mighty tyrants threatened my every turn, but I managed until I found him." She smiled to herself.
"I called him Mariner. An Icthyovenator like me, young and strong. As we became adults our bond grew, and we had our own clutch of eggs. Five in total. Before the eggs hatched, Depth-Charge had came back, dragged my love into the ocean, a watery grave. In anger and fury, I took Depth-Charge's life. I don't regret it to this day." Anger surged in her. That monster.
"The last saga of this story deals with the hatchlings. My children, whom I loved dearly, more than anything in the world. I taught them to hunt, to fish. We were a good family. But fate deemed me unworthy of good fortune. A pack of Allosaurus, nasty dinosaurs who always hunted in packs, and two Quetzalcoatlus, gigantic flyers, had invaded my nesting grounds." Her voice cracked. "As I fended off the Allosaurus, I was unable to defend my children from those flying beasts. As I chased the pack off, I saw the giants fly away with my children. I have not yet forgotten, nor have I forgiven. I failed as a parent." She sighed.
"But as I traveled, swam the oceans, trudged through marsh and plains, I found myself here. Despite the environment, You have all been welcoming. Even with current events, I find this place a wacky and wonderful land to be in. I wouldn't have it any other way."
She shook her head gently. "Alright I've rambled on enough." She chuckled. She wasn't one to spill life stories, but it seemed fitting!

Settling down at the group, paying attention to Eternal as he spoke in that funny little accent, she found herself pulled into his tale. As he finished, she let out an approving rumble. "Envy. I know little of it.. Wonderful story, dear knight." She said lowly. Then as Aurum suggested his story, she turned her attention toward the angel. Aurum's story was just as impactful. Mainly because she too, lost as an heir, in many ways. And yet, she found a place she could start anew. "Another wonderful story. Thank you, Aurum." She smiled against her teeth.
