Username: /nyx.
Alliance: Air
Name: Kolgrímur | Arktarium Glade's The Charcoal Seer
Gender: male
Personality: Bear, they call him, though he is undoubtedly a horse. His herd says that he is large like a bear, slow like a bear; capable but lazy. Incompatible with the sudden unpredictability of fire. Kolgrímur cannot help it: he takes offense. So, slowly (not like an earth bear, but like fire's tiger in wait), the stallion shows them.
He starts with pranks, because fire always ties into pranks. He doesn't do it for fun, moreso for revenge. Unfortunately, Kolgrímur feels nothing when his main assailants walk straight into his trap. He's neither prideful nor content, neither guilty nor unsatisfied. He feels nothing, and the action only results in more hostility, so he moved on.
Over the seasons, Kolgrímur goes from passive to aggressive; he returns each jibe to his being with twice the heat. Good, right? Herds of fire should be openly wild. Really, others shouldn't blame him for fitting in, the hypocrites.
After an explosive display of dominance, his herd takes to leaving him alone. When they dare, they cast looks that scream disgrace in his direction.
On the bright side, his herd now treat him with respect. It's a small price to pay, the seething glares, the newfound wariness his herdmates exhibit around him. The loneliness.
At last he has his peace.
Dream: He dreams of fire, of ashes and smoke, of the ground rupturing, splintering into thousands of pieces.
He dreams of dark figures, not quite birds, but not quite dragons or wyverns, razing the earth.
He dreams of the world gone to hell, dreams of molten glass raining from the sky, dreams of waves crashing against the sea. He dreams of barren summers and dry winters.
Atop the volcano, the plateau where his herd lives, he dreams of everything on fire—no, not fire. On Fyre.
And atop the highest peak, higher than Everest, than Vesuvius, lives the gods. He dreams that even atop the highest peak, things are Chaos.
And the terrifying thing is that it's real. It's happening now. The tides are rising, the winds are harshen-ing, the lands are shaking, the fire is dying.
The magic is dying.
The magic is rising (like a phoenix, rebirth).
And soon, the world will be no one's (not the dragons', not the forests', not even the elementals') to control.
