Gender: Male
How/Why is he Blind in One Eye?: Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves of the bamboo canopy as Toksik stealthily prowled along the forest floor. The bright green patterning on his hid caught and reflected the sunlight much like glossy leaves. He had the thick black hood pulled back above his eyes so he could see as he hunted for his prey, a young boar. His delicate nostrils flared as he drew in the thick, musty scent of the hog. One of bright arrow shaped stripes on his muzzle met directly between his eyes which settled on the pig. It was rooting amongst the leaves making contented grunting sounds.
Toksik lowered his long, snakelike body to the ground as the boar slowly closed the distance between them. When there was only a few yards separating him from his prey, the dragon sprung forward with is jaws spread wide. Toksik clamped his sharp teeth on a meaty hind leg as he felt his prey's life force begin to fade. He had hit a fatal vein. The boar, though, wasn't going to go without a fight. It screamed and struggled, eventually ripping itself from Toksik's deadly grasp. It quickly turned on him with it's own sharp tusks. With his head still low to the ground, Toksik was making himself vulnerable. He hissed angrily at the hog as it barreled toward him. Toksik turned his head at exactly the wrong time and the boar gouged his left eye. Screeching in pain, Toksik reared back as his hood fell over his eye. Fleeing, Toksik bounded through the forest as fast as his lanky body would allow to nurse his new wound in his den. (273 words... Hope it wasn't too graphic )

This brief story is not one of grandeur, nor is it one of fantastic events or impossible feats. But it is her story.
On the outside looking in, Otravă is rather ill tempered. In truth, she is just a bit...antisocial. Her dark coloring set her side from others like her- and myths and rumors of curses and hexes drifted around her peers . Well, one day the rumors grew to suspicions, and the suspicions grew to fear and a group of rowdy , holier than thou males cornered her one evening. She was taunted and teased, but she kept to herself- ignored them and minded her business. that is, until one of them threw a rather large rock at her. It collided with her Left eye, and man did it hurt. She retaliated in anger and fought off her attacker and his posse. The encounter left her with a permanent scar- a blindness that started as a blur, and ended in darkness- and the rest of the world in a timid avoidance of her. She has learned to live with her little hiccup. While she doesn't let it hinder her progress or her ambitions- she does host a bit of a grudge against the cause of her blindness, and, unfortunately, against most who fear her for her differences.

The reason why is Gotzone blind in his left eye;

[Word Count- 244]

As a young dragon Gotzone was a crafty young thing, he much enjoyed approaching strangers claiming to be a seer or a wise one. Being a Hooded Dragon and one that could see (Which is unheard of in his race) he was almost instantly believed. In actual fact Gotzone was not a seer or a wise one. Gotzone would simply spend his young naive years going from town to town, making false prophecy's and reaping the free hospitality as a reward. It wasn't until one day Gotzone was moving through a new town that one of the people recognized him from a previous tone. This particular man had been told by Gotzone that he would within the year reap riches through gambling. Having lost everything he owned the man grew vengeful, rallying the towns people against the young dragon, Gotzone soon found himself being chased from the village. Young, foolish, naive and frightened he raced into the forest.

But lo behold Gotzone found the man lying in wait, having no choice the young dragon took the man's head in his jaws and bit down with all the force he could muster. It killed his foe but not before the ruthless man had plunged his dagger into the young dragon's eye.
To this day Gotzone has never again told a falsehood but more betrayed he felt by the anger of the townspeople who yet held no grudge against him. Gotzone trusts little and lies not.

[ I wasn't sure what to do about the sight thing considering the main description of Hooded Dragons indicates that they have no sight at all yet you mentioned this dragon is blind in one eye. I integrated it but let me know. ]

There was a slow drip... drip... drip... sound as two hooded figures moves their way through the shadows of a castle hall. The air was thick with moisture and the passage smelled like wet stone.
“Are you sure we should be here?” The second figure whispered, whipping his long tail back and forth in irritation.
“It’s fine, this place has been abandoned for ages.”
“Then who is this mysterious figure you’ve been seeing run in here?”
“That’s what i’ve been trying to find out!”
*Clang!*
Both dragons stopped dead, listening for the source of the noise. After minutes of silence passed the second lowered his head. “Great, now it knows we’re here.” He said. “Shaddup!” the second whispered back harshly. She slinked up to the nearest door, placing her claws on the knob. “I think it came from in here.” She said so quietly her companion could barely hear her. “Blake, don’t even...” He started but the curious HD was already turning the knob.
It swung open with a click, only to reveal another empty room, with the exception of another door on the back wall. Blake dashed up to it. “I really think we should leave.” Said the other, peering in the doorway. “Relax Sable, you need to lighten up.” She was already turning the knob of the second door but it didn’t budge. “Ok it’s locked, whatever that thing was is gone, I’m leaving.” Sable said flatly, starting to turn around. Blake put her eye up to the keyhole in the door.
Phshhhh! Blake reeled back from the door covering her eye with her claws. She howled in pain as she hit the ground. “Blake!” Sable yelled and ran in and nudged her with his snout. She got up slowly, still covering one eye. “I’m fine, my eye just hurts.” She lied, half her head was searing with white-hot pain. “Let’s get out of here.” Sable said. “Yes, that’s a brilliant idea!” Blake fired back. The door behind them clicked suddenly and the HD’s bolted, not stopping until they were a safe distance from the castle.


The other HD featured in the story is my first and only HD, Sable. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2100736 I hope it's ok to include him.

Is it too late to enter?

Terribly sorry for the long wait guys. Congrats Fluffy95! Not only was this very realistic for a Hoodie, but also very well written, and I enjoyed it<3

Also, to Nix Jazz Tempesedo, it's Hoodless dragons, in other words the Hooded Dragons with no hood, that are always blind (:

It was worth the wait. I've been busy with school, anyhow. Thank you!
