I had been away from Zekira for a long while before running into the Dragans. When I found them, I was shocked at the similarities between their society and mine.
Though quite different from what Humans might consider normal looking, I had known a good number of draconic appearing people on Zekira, in fact I Bred a number of them.
When I learned of the Breeder class, my heart lept into my throat: they even used the same words... But slightly different in effect: their Breeders actually did breed for their living, while I had in fact been responsible for so many offspring I knew a number of infertile Zekiran Breeders whose specialties would never allow them to actually have their own children. How envious of this world I became!
Their Breeders acted and seemed on a genetic level as Hyperfertile Zekirans such as myself, able to bear or sire offspring so easily.
It was one such Breeder, a teal-shaded Dragan woman with yellow hair and brilliant blue eyes, who caught my eye. She looked... well, she reminded me of a Zekiran, namely Aptiva, my daughter with a former Slave named Arista. Our skin tones blended into a deep brownish green, hair into a rich yellowy-orange, and of course all my children have my eyes.
I struck up a conversation with this Dragan and she likes the name Aptiva, so it stuck. Now, she and I wander the Dragan world together, at least for a while.
