Firelizards

Sot	Defiant	Charon	Miriya

Ichor-shot eyes bulge out from the too-big head that lolls on a wobbly length of neck while seasick blue wings hang limply, finger-sail tips planted for support as the room spins around him. Blue-ice settles gently on his headknobs, that cool color dripping downward over ridges and under his chin while the color of blackest klah attempts to resolute wobbly talons and trembling paws. Ugh. Where's a Healer when ya need'um?

A dark blue firelizard, the color fades to a grey on his underbelly, tail and chin. Wings nearly the color of midnight flow over his back like a dark, dark cape, nearly enveloping his body when not in flight. Quick, flashing eyes study everything around him at a glance. His movements are highly energetic, as seen by the twitch of a tail here to the twist of tiny draconic head there. Fearless this one is not, but he is indeed brave.

Klah brown melds into shadow like a cloak, the pale tans easily visible give the firelizard a skeletal appearance. Wings that appear tattered sweep along behind him, his guant head, gazing into your very soul, as if judging your worth. His soft voice is rarely heard, but when he utters sound, it booms with hollow tones. Razor talons the color of bones only heighten the spectral appearance.

Though smoothed and polished across broad surfaces, there are yet hard ridges and the occassional coarse hollow upon the vibrant jade and beaded hide. Like inset gems, flashing eyes bear witness from a well defined head with prominent brows and a sharp downturned nose. Her neckridges are touched with pale jadite as they wind their way down between her broad shoulders and back, then spread across powerful wingspars before deepening into a rare deep, dark jade through the thin sheets of the sails. As if truly carved from stone, her tail circles behind her like a pendant loop and marked by a single splash of middling brown, a contrasting bead to the fine stonework.
