Indigo Drakaii. The name is just a bit of symbolism I was hoping someone would catch. Indigo, dark blue, coloring that comes from a plant. That's all I really wanted someone to get out of it. Now, Indigo Drakaii is actually a nickname for the woman. Indigo for the color of her as a dragon, a brilliant ice and mind dragon with powers still yet to be found by herself, and Drakaii... maybe it was her real name. She has lived so many years that she has surpassed and overrun the stories of Kalmadin with saviour appearances, a heroin and a destruction force all in one.
Known by locals and few other offlanders as an apothecary, miracle worker, or simple medicine woman, the fact that she is a heart-eating dragon really flies by without notice. And though she has been spotted throughout history so many times as a messiah, a wave of pain, or a small chill that licks through the wind, absolutely nothing is known about her. Many of the stories she appears in are written upon scrolls thousands of years old, and she still does not appear a day over seventeen. Sweet age of seventeen where the innocence of childhood is supposed to end and the facts of the raler and harsher world are supposed to set it.
Whatever she may be, whoever she may be, all Kalmadin residents and some still know to treat her with respect and grant her the common courtesy to let her live on her mountain alone and in peace. As it should be. |
