Thread

History: Thread was a surprise to both of her parents. Tapestry because his experiences and youth made him believe he was already done with any 'duty' of procreation, and Pearlsheen because she, nearly two thousand years older than Tapestry, worried about having a wolf-blooded partner at all. They have sat her down and explained their worries and past issues just to have it clear in the air. Thread took all of their information to heart, neither of them resents either her or their partner, and raised her together in a gentle and supportive environment. Whether Pearlsheen and Tapestry remain together as lifemates is still somewhat up in the air, but they do actually make a good couple. Their disparate dragons enjoy their own company too, as Maple truly loves fish and Zunth can teleport - maybe to the ocean? Maybe? Some day?

Thread's name sometimes makes Tapestry chuckle a little, given it is the 'enemy' on the world where Zunth came from, but he always sort of resented it himself: threads make cloth!

Even as a young child, Thread has always loved just playing in the water and diving for goodies. She started planting 'treasures' and playing games with divers and water-born elves to see if they could locate them. She's had the opportunity to change her name several times, but 'treasure' seems too pretentious and 'seabulb' a little specific don'tchathink? She likes to imagine her name as the threads between minds, stretching her thoughts to detect a stray here, a hunting party there, asking them where they are and making sure they're okay.

She has had some experience with the weirder sea life that has been brought to the Holt's lake, though she always manages to avoid any dangerous encounters.

When the Aerie called her up to talk, she was giddy with excitement. Apogee noticed this right away. "Well there is definitely a place that's suited to you," she chuckled, and brought up a very familiar and well-traveled star pattern in the shining crystals on the dome's walls. "Lantessama has a more special event going than expected. Would you like--"

"Yes! Yes I would!" Thread exclaimed, hardly holding back her excitement at all of it.

"Then let's get you a little up to speed about their locale, and the expectations," Apogee suggested. It didn't take the excitement down but the energy Thread had could at least be focused on learning about the people and their world, and what they knew of these "Island Court" dragons there. When it was time for her to leave, Tapestry took her himself, wanting to see their realm first hand. He'd be around for her if and when she bonded, and would be the one to take her back home. Of course he also was there to pick up new materials and cloth, and Thread would aid their hosts with whatever she could, likely shaping their plants and introducing them to bulb-water treats!

** from hatching **

The hatching was reaching the end as only a red and green female remained on the sands along with a single egg that was still intact. All eyes were upon the two The green was definitely the most striking in appearance with zebra stripes appearing on her limbs while the red was more subdued with only a lighter belly. The green seemed to not be all that hurried to head for the remaining candidates but the red was having none of it. She wanted the green to bond first and she would not move until that had happened. Finally the green got the memo and she lazily made her way toward the sea where Thread was still looking for a bond. Her dad Tapestry stood right beside her as the small - even for a green - hatchling came toward them.
"I guess you knew I was coming." the hatchling said.
"I never doubted it, Unalinth."
