Lambicorn name: pip
Gender: male
Prompt: throughout his younger years pip found it hard to fit it with many of the other lambabies around. many were covered in fur, sparkles, or bright colors. because of this he felt that he didn't quite belong amongst the other lambabies, so he purposefully excluded himself from the activities that the other young ones played. oftentimes alone, it came to attention of two other lambabies how distant and lonesome he seemed. one day these two youngsters, known as selene and grover, trotted over to the lone looking pip who was sat picking at the grass. "hello," selene started, causing pip to look up at her. "do you want to play with us?" she asked with curious eyes and a kind smile. the gesture had caught young pip off guard as he looked her way. "we were going to go play a game but need a third member, do you want to join in?" asked little grover as he peered out from behind his sister. "o-okay," pip said, surprised that anyone had approached him. he had always figured he was an undesirable lambie, so he didn't understand why these two had come over to talk to him. "what are we going to play?" pip asked the pair as he stood up, facing them, expecting a game of tag or hide and seek. out of nowhere, and quite comically, selene reached around herself and brandished a boxed game above her head. "DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!" she yelled to the sky with much umph. pip stared in awe at the cover of the box, fill with magical looking creatures, reminding him of himself. setting the box down, as well as taking a seat, selene began to unpsck the game. grover bounced over and sat next to pip. selene is the dm! that means dungeon master. she created a new quest for us, she's awesome at storytelling! now that we have you we can play through it! this is going to be fun! oh, i'm grover by the way! the goat lambie explained. i'm pip. so, how do i play? he asked with a smile.

and so pip had found this little group to be a part of. from that moment on the three would have loads of fun playing dnd! selene would guide them through many locations full of wonder and danger. pip discovered that there was a lot of fun in having friends who weren't afraid of expressing themselves and sharing in their differences. at last the young chimera felt as though he belonged somewhere.

happy birthday! this lil lambab is very cute!

Lambicorn name: flame
Gender: male
Prompt: flame saw he was odd from before he could talk. Wherever he went he saw other lamicorns looking at him like he was weird. His siblings where all different but not as different as him. After a while flame could not take it anymore so he ran. He darted into the forest, his thoughts filled with sadness what if he never saw his siblings again. He fought with himself not to go back, so he slowly trekked through the woods knowing exactly where he was headed. He know it as soon as he saw it. Flame looked up at the towering mountain And flapped his small wings as hard as he could. Finally lifting of the ground he headed for a big cave. When he reached the cave he rolled in the moss covered floor and fell asleep.

Lambicorn name: Coal Chaser
Gender: Male
Prompt:

The faroff lands of the North are cold year-round, with snow covered mountains, icey shores, and air so chilled it could crystalize your breath. Most who live there are hooved and cloven footed, with thicker fur to combat the cold and avoid frostbite, pale colours are most common too, to aid in the blending in with the scenery, particularly during the hunting months.
So it was quite a surprise when a dragon was born into the village of Leeds.

You see, my mother had been a traveler before returning home to Leeds, selling her wares and skills to those who needed it. The South is a much hotter place, and so few from the north ever really liked to travel that way, however my mother was curious of the stories told by the elders, of the many different kinds of lambicorn that lived there.

During her travels South, she met a great dragon lambicorn, and fell deeply in love. However, she was a loyal Northerner and when winter came, she returned home, unknowingly carrying a gift with her.


My existence in the village was rather taboo, and many in the village saw me as a curse brought upon them by my mother. But she did not care, I was her son and she loved me with all her heart.
My childhood was not the greatest, having to be kept from most of the village for fear of their taughts and attacks. It was difficult at times, my mother still had to earn wages through traveling around the North, and so had to leave me home where I would hide away from the voices of my peers. Yet, I had a friend, Eglantine, a plucky little lambi who ignored my differences and liked me for me. She often visited and brought games and toys over for us to play with.

But as I grew, I began to surpass other lambies' my age in size, and the elders were not happy to see it. They were certain that as a firebreather I would wreak havoc as soon as I was old enough, warning my mother that her offspring was the doom of Leeds.

I was growing faster by the season, and soon was larger than most around. And that's when it happened; I was banished.
My mother was heartbroken, and she and Eglantine fought to try and change the elders' minds, to no luck.

Surprisingly, I felt.. relief when I heard the order. Each year, the snow bit at my paws, frosted my horns and wings, I had never adapted and could never see the appeal in playing constantly in the bitter cold. Now, I had freedom, I could do as I wish without judgement from those who I had lived with for my whole life. I was free.

With a bittersweet farewell to my mother and friend, I left.


Not long into my travel down South, I was met up by Eglantine! She insisted she couldn't leave her friend on his own, that I needed someone to protect him from the big baddies we were bound to come across. As silly as she was, I was very glad to have my friend beside me.

As we ventured further away from our homeland, the ground turned from snow and rock to earth and grass, bushes, flowers, insects and animals became a constant sight, warmth seemed from everywhere, causing my scales to almost glow with heat. Even Eglantine rejoiced in the warmth, shedding her thick fur and clothes, frolicking in the grasses beside me. I felt more at home here than I ever did in the North, but I still missed my mother's warm embrace.

Along the way, we met lambies of all sorts, adding to our band Wiley, Fish, and even another dragon; Oakley!

Our group became a family, each of us caring for one another, sharing the jobs of cooking, night watching, story-telling and much more. We dubbed ourselves the traveling band, with no set goal but to explore the farthest reaches of the land, meet new lambies and simply enjoy our lives.

On occasion we return to our homelands, meeting each others families, learning about our cultures, and sharing stories. I've yet to return to my own home though, I miss my mother dearly, but Eglantine and I will soon lead our friends back home to where it all began.

I can't wait to tell her about my travels, share with her my goods and gifts, to share all of the great and wonderful things I have discovered about our world. I miss her scent and the warmth of her fur, and the delicious cakes she made for me as a youngling. But most of all, I can't wait to share with her how I finally found where I fit in, the place where I belong.

Lambicorn name: Canso Highwind
Gender: Male
Prompt:

For a time, the lambicorn was unnamed. From his very start, others were afraid of him, did not understand him. He would try to understand them instead, watch and learn from a distance. Were there others like him? Was he alone? He wanted to know, but also in this way he gained the skills he needed to survive. But it was a lonely existence, and he found he craved company.

Through these travels, he eventually came across a rather large cave. It seemed a good place to make a home, until he realized it was occupied! Inside he found other lambies, but they were strange as well. Lambies with armor, scales, spears, claws... each of them carried something different about them. Before he could skitter back the eldest inside, a weathered veteran named Griffikunzen, stepped up. "Why hello there! Come inside, you're gonna get cold out there!"

He found each member of this strange clan introducing themselves, apparently collectively known as the Highwind family. Self-proclaimed dragoons, they fought to help bring Dreamers strength and peace, be it through taking down monsters or bringing inspiring dreams despite their rough appearances. Each and every member understood what it meant to be different, and as such they embraced Canso as one of their own.

Now known as Canso Highwind, he had finally found a home, a family, and a place to find purpose.
