Appearance- Sylt is a wondrous, beautiful Earth that is stunning to the eye. She's as big as an earth gets, at 165 feet long and 45 feet high at the shoulder. Her build is thick and stocky, yet the smoothness of her cuts down on the thunderous "ohmygod" aspect. Her snout is on the short side, rounding out to shape cute, chubby cheeks. Her eyes are a yellow that seem to glow, and instead of having a pupil, she has slits like a cat. Around her eyes are natural, butter-yellow marking on her brows and curve at the ends of her eyes, almost like extended eyelashes--but prettier. Across her nose on a splash of blue are two streaks of yellow, the same color that decorates her eyes. Resting on her forehead is a protruding oval-shaped, orange crystal that matches the one Nirae wears at her neck.

A row of short, yellow and golden hued spikes run down from her forehead to her neck and back, leading into three sets of spikes on her tail--on the sides, and right down the top, of the same color. A hue of gentle blue blossoms up the base of each spike. These spikes are long, curved and wicked on her thick, muscled tail in not just one, or two rows, but three. The end of her tail ends in a spade, where curved, smaller spikes stick out. Her whole tail is one of her greatest weapons, well used on the battlefield. The horns on her head head are just as impressive, curving down and around to her cheeks. On each horn protrudes three other, much smaller horns, curving in imitation of the bigger ones. The whole set it colored just as her spikes are. Sylt's wings, short and wide, do very little but add more hued color to her appearance. The thick, soft-yellow plates on her chest offer firm protection on her chest and underbelly.

The most stunning feature of this girl is her coloring. She is a dark, chocolaty brown that brilliantly gradients into a royal blue. This blue looks like it's reflecting on her plates, for they hold a certain glow of that same color. Her overall appearance is just so loving to the eye, that it's not uncommon for her to deal with the stares of people that have seen her before--or have. The only things that mars her smooth, appealing look are the claw mark scars on her left front leg and her hindquarters. She has plenty more, but they blend in more than they stick out, like these do. Instead of turning pink or white like a human's scars would do, Sylt's deeper scars began colored with a brush of gold. She really doesn't care, but for her rider, it's an every day reminder of the close call they had in the war.

Personality- Of course, Sylt has more than just pretty looks. She has a good brain for thinking inside that skull, stirring and plotting and planning. She is wise, and that wisdom grows with every year as she experiences and lives. If asked, she will share that wisdom, to give opinions, guidance, suggestions. She doesn't have a better-than-you-attitude, so is not prone to rubbing such know-alls in other people or dragons faces. Once in a while, however, she'll do it to her rider, but just for fun. Sylt has a sympathetic heart, much like Nirae. Together they make quite a motherly pair, just wanting to extend wings and arms and make shelter to those who seek it. Sylt has a strong sense of purpose, to fulfill duties and stir hope in hearts that have all but been extinguished. She is very loyal, to her rider, her Wing, to those who view her as a friend.

Sylt, instead of being judgmental, is understanding instead. Where others may see a flaw she sees the reason behind it, and seeks to accept and understand it. She's just one big, caring and loving dragon, a smile dancing in her eyes and on her maw. One thing that turns her to absolute goo and a giddy little girl, though, are hatchlings. They expend her heart until it just might burst. While she loves them all, she has a thing for earth babies, and wants to do nothing more than protect them all and cuddle them. She refrains--unless they allow it. They are the future, and they are adorable!

Not much can ruffle Sylt's spikes, but this girl does get her 'moods'. When she pouts, she looks like a big, sad puppy that illicit sympathy and strangers coming up to coo at her. When she's grumpy, everyone knows. Her steps, usually placed with care, thump into the ground and make the earth seize. Her tail will lash, her breath will huff; it's best to be as far away from her as possible during such a time. When 'her babies', comrades, or rider finds themselves in trouble and or danger, however, a switch flips in Sylt's mind and she goes into protection or battle mode. She's very serious about keeping those she has formed a bond with safe. Every friendship is a valuable gem, something to hold dear and true, which she does. She and Nirae make a wonderful team, and always will.

History-
Important Update (until I can do a full re-write of this History)
Sylt and Nirae were unfortunate victims of the Tainted, with Nirae being kidnapped to become ground zero for the plague going on in livestock now, and Sylt's crystal cracked and becoming Tainted. Driven even more mad by the death of her rider, Sylt tracked down the lightning twin Tainteds and beat the shards out of what was left of their life, if there was any after their own exposure to the disease.

Now the poor, if not insane newly tainted Earth dragon, roams the lands controlled by the tainted, dark sorrow keeping her from returning to the Academy. She has no interest interacting with others, but if she is bothered, she does not hesitate to attack.



Nirae was born in the desert city of Esam by her mother, Lilla, along with her older and younger brothers. Their father had departed with some friends on a trip to Lihn.. As the story went, they happened across a village near the Fields of Sulfur as a side trip to visit a good friend. One of the travelers headed back to Esam early. He was still within viewing distance of the village when he heard terrible screams, and turned to see a Tainted dragon attacking the village. He ran back toward Esam, knowing there was no hope in rescuing them. By the time he would be able to find a rider to help...they would probably all be dead. So the best he could do, he figured, was to tell of what happened.

The news came as a harsh blow to the Mazac family as the survivor's news spread, sending the families who had lost loved ones into a black depression. However, Nirae was the one to snap out of it first. She stood strong and forced that pain aside, trying to bring her family back to their feet. "Life moves on," she informed them, "and so must we." Even though there was very little hope that there were any survivors, it was still there. Nirae ventured to the other families, trying to get them to realize that hope as well. But it went unheard. They all knew there just wasn't a chance.

It was when Nirae was gazing up at the vast sky of jewel stars one night that an idea hit her. The Tainted dragon...it had to be stopped. And the rise of the Tainted kind. There was something she could do about it. Though the idea worried her mother to tears, Nirae knew it was the best way to move forward. So it was with a faint, but brave heart that Nirae headed out to the Academy to become a dragon rider. Of course, this was much easier said than done. Other than having a gift with song and dancing, Nirae failed to actually realize she'd need to be able to fight. However, during candidate lessons, she found she was more able with bow and arrow and focused on that.

The day of the hatching was the best day of her life. As the egg split, and out came the most beautiful of Earths. The baby dragon had an orange crystal on her forehead that matched the one she held in her hand. Nirae knew right then and there than anything was possible. She threw herself into Academy life, growing stronger as Sylt did. Despite having a near death experience in a Taint attack when she and her fellow wyrmlings were out for a flight (more of a glide/run for her and Sylt), nothing too serious happened until they graduated and immersed themselves fully into the war. Never had she worked so hard at something, seen so many things that would forever stain her memory. Always, somewhere in her mind, was the thought of avenging her father and those lives lost that day near the Fields. Revenge wasn’t in her ‘normal’ personality at all, but yet, she knew that if she ever saw that Taint, she and Sylt would try to take him or her down. As the Taints got more and more pushed back and the long war came to an end, it was a relief, of course, and Nirae felt a sense of guilt as she thought of how she had yet to see the Taint she had been looking for for so long.

Now that time was trickling by rather than surging like a swift river, she does whatever she can to brush the past away. She focuses on helping others rebuild their homes and lives, with the grand support of Sylt, who hadn’t changed much during the whole eighteen years of her life. If anything, she was more intellectual than before, more patient, ever enduring. Living day by day, they travel about where needed to seek not to only improve their lives, but the lives of others..
