He was one of those oddities that occasionally found their way into the Clan, a black dragon with a few stars studding his hide, an odd sight to see. That, though, was not the oddest of him. His eyes were covered by a blue visor, and his neck was ringed with several small hovering balls of dark purple that occasionally flashed brightly, though only he seemed to know why.
His wings looked as if they shouldn't be able to lift him from the ground, and it was a mystery to many how the odd wing tines stayed in place, since they weren't connected to the main wing arm in the slightest. Another of the purple balls hovered within the gold crescent that the wing tines should have been connected too, and it, also, flashed brightly on occasion, and glowed with a steady light whenever he flew.
For those that could get over the wings, his lower legs proved the next, and last, challenge. Around his lower right front leg was an odd 'gauntlet' of sorts, with colored buttons and gray pads set in it, and he could often be spotted sitting on his hind legs, poking at the buttons with his left paw. A green cable of some sort was wrapped around his lower left front leg, attaching just below his knee, and then again right above his ankle. His hind legs both had thin wires attached at his ankle, and then again at about the middle of his lower leg, though since they were as black as his hide, the only way one could see one of the wires was when it was bent so that it was clear of his leg, otherwise, his hind legs appeared normal.
None in the Clan knew where he had come from, and those who asked never got an answer. |
