Nils almost had to cover his ears when Morion’s loud laugh echoed through the caves. If it wasn’t for the sheer surprise clear on his face, that is. “You.. you don’t mind?” The words came out on impulse, before he could even think about it. Being used to nothing but scorn, it was refreshing, almost.. delightful, to be met with cheer and laughter instead.

So in response Nils smiled as well, before it turned to laughter. It was only a light laugh, reserved and small, but still. Happiness was much more befitting of his youthful face than the tense expression he had up until then. “Don’t worry about it, I was admittedly surprised though when you came closer instead of running for the hills though!” Very few people would do that, making Morion a real outlier in the dragon boy’s memory.

“As for why I’m here, well..” He held out his dragonstone, giving Morion a chance to touch it, should he want to. It was smooth to the touch, the surface quite cold. “I was hoping to craft something like a necklace to keep a dragonstone in. But because it becomes so cold when I transform, every metal I’ve tried freezes and breaks.” He decided, for now at least, he wouldn’t tell about his sister just yet. Not because Morion seemed untrustworthy, but rather because that wasn’t his place to tell.

“When I heard about these mines, I figured if there’s any cold resistant ore, it would be here. And as an ice dragon, the depths are completely safe for me to explore.” Speaking of though.. if Morion was planning to come with him, he wondered if the man’s current clothing would be enough to keep him warm. “It’ll likely go well below freezing if we go deeper inside.. Will you be alright, sir?”

Relieved at the fact his feet were touching the ground again, he let out a sigh. Well, at the very least the man is listening to him, that’s something. He wanted to come with him though..? Nils thought of it for a moment. It could be dangerous for a human to travel into the depths.. if he’s right about why the mine is so cold, that is.. well, he supposed they’d find out soon enough.

“My name is Nils. I’m a student belonging to the Golden Deer house.” The first two questions were easy enough, at least. But as for the third one… he looked at the stone in his hands. It’s a precious crystal containing his very essence, the life energy of an ice dragon. “Um, as for this crystal.. I’ll tell you, but please keep this between us!” While he was trying to open up about his heritage more, it was still.. difficult. He shuffled his balance from one leg to the other, not meeting Morion’s fierce eyes. Alright, deep breath, here it goes.

“This, um. Is my dragonstone. It’s what lets me turn into a dragon. The roar you heard earlier? Well… that was me.” There, it was out. He told the truth. Now it was just a matter of seeing how the taller man would react. Very carefully his crimson gaze drifted upwards, fearing any sign of horror or disgust in Morion’s expression. Geez, he thought he was over this.. yet he couldn’t stop the fear gripping his chest tightly.

No, he reminded himself he was going to be okay. Being honest about himself was how he would build better relationships between dragons and humans! If he only kept hiding nothing would change. That’s what he tried to keep thinking of. Positive thoughts, not letting his anxieties get the better of him.

Relief quickly turned to frustration as again he was picked up. This was starting to get old, the guy clearly intending on not letting him get deeper into the mines. “Wait, hold on!” He was squiring, trying to wriggle himself out of Morion’s iron grasp. “I have to get deeper inside, it’s really important..!”

Ideally he wanted to keep this entire excursion to himself, but that plan clearly flew out the window the moment he let himself get spotted. So now he felt he had no choice but to tell the truth to get any chance of finding the ice resistant ore.. also, while the man’s energy certainly was intense (and now angry as well), it didn’t feel.. malicious, exactly.

“Please, just put me down and I’ll explain. There’s a really important thing I’m looking for, and, uh..” He fell silent for a second. He’d really prefer not bringing this up, but he supposed he kinda shot himself in the foot by being the first to bring up the possibility of a dragon.. then again how was he supposed to know this guy would chase it? “I’ll talk about the dragon, too! You wanted to see a dragon, right? I can have you meet one!”

He was really in it now.. he didn’t like revealing to others he was a dragon, especially not to someone who seemed so gung ho about fighting one. But at the moment there was no other choice, if he wanted to make it deeper into the cave. If worst came to worst.. well, he’s a dragon, and the guy’s a human. Even a small dragon has the advantage against a human! At least that’s what he told himself..

“Hey, wait, I can expl- whoa!” He tried to defend himself but before he could get out much of anything he found himself getting picked up with comical ease. “Nooo, wait! Lemme go!” He tried to struggle against the man’s grasp, but with little success. It didn’t take long before they were outside again, right back to where he started.

Great, now what? The bear man obviously wasn’t going to move… but he had to get back into the cavern. Ugh, maybe he should try again some other time..? He was about to give it up for the night, when suddenly he realized something. His pocket felt unusually light… oh no. His face paled as he patted his pockets, all of which were empty. He dropped his dragonstone in the cave…!

He turned back around, to where Morion was standing in front of the cave entrance. He couldn’t risk someone else finding the stone and pawning it off.. so there’s no other chance but right now to get it back. “I’m really sorry about this, sir..!”

Before the other had a chance to even reply, he fired a blast of ice magic towards the man’s feet. Not with the intention of causing harm, but rather to freeze him in place long enough for Nils to rush back into the cave. “Again, really sorry!” He said as he ran past Morion.

Thankfully he noticed the glimmer of his dragonstone pretty quickly, untouched in a corner of the cavern. He quickly bent down to pick it up. “Phew…” with a sigh of relief, he put it close to his heart. With how much of his draconic quintessence was inside this stone, he felt uncomfortable being without it for too long.

[ 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 ] : receiver notices sender looking at them longingly. ( but like in a dragon to dragon communication way )

What an … interesting atmosphere to the little boy — peculiar sort of ambience to him, something familiar. Vaguely. It was cold and wintry, but there was an imposing sliver to it of faint recognition to Goldoa’s eldest heir.

Rajaion’s brows tugged together, but a soft frown curved his lips. What was it? Did he know him? —No, certainly not. He’d only seen so few faces after departing Goldoa, and even fewer faces here ( cozy and isolated as the lower echelons of the academy stayed ). So what was it?

“Oh!” He mumbled, looking away when the boy caught him. Rajaion waved his scarred hands softly, hopefully dismissing his odd people-watching hobby. “I didn’t mean to stare. Your presence just felt … familiar.”

It was a strange sensation, sensing the energy of a fellow dragon. Nils hadn’t been home for so long, the only other dragon he’s seen in a while had been his own sister. But, sharing blood as they did, her presence was very similar to his own. Cold and ethereal, akin to a dewdrop on a winter morning. This presence however felt much more grounded. Resolute, like a mighty oak standing firm.

Looking around, he eventually locked eyes with a man. He had the same powerful energy as the man Nils had met before during the banquet. The same dark elemental affinity as well… could they be related?

“Oh! Um, don’t worry about it!” He smiled softly at the other man, though a bit awkwardly. “I was actually thinking just the same thing.. strange coincidence, right?”

[ 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐦 ] : sender has killed someone who threatened the receiver.

(it is an action as devoid of deliberation as any order. after all, he is a student, and her duty is to protect.)

No..! He was too late, he couldn’t dodge in time. All he could do was wait as the axe would come down and crush his skull. He closed his eyes, waiting for the end to come, when-

Rather than anything coming into contact with him, he heard the sound of an arrow, followed by a pained gurgle. Slowly opening his eyes, the man now had an arrow sticking out of his throat. His eyes glazed over as he collapsed, dead.

Nils looked to see the source of the arrow, wanting to thank the person that saved his life. The last thing he ever expected to see however, was one of his fath- of that man’s creations. A morph, somehow still alive… or was “existing” a better term here?

“…thank you.” Was all he managed to say. With how much grief they brought him and his sister, and especially due to their seeming lack of a “heart”, he found it hard to trust them. Yet they did save his life, and proper thanks should be given.

#(prompt: to try something different!) #// thank you for the ask!! love that funky morph

HUH?!

Were the footsteps getting CLOSER?!

Was this guy crazy?! Did he have a death wish?! Was he stupid?! What kind of guy hears dangerous growling and gets excited?? Talk about an unexpected outcome.. what was he supposed to do now?!

Should be transform? But then what? The man clearly sounded like he was itching for a fight, he’d just be giving him what he wanted. But what other option was there? He was going to get caught and if he was human he’d get in so much trouble and never get into this mine again, but if he was a dragon he’d have to fight a guy and probably get his ass handed to him because they’re in a cave where his size, even if he’s fairly small, would still be detrimental and there’s even a chance he’d die and then-

Oh.

Though there was some light coming from candles lining the walls, the cave was still dark. Not that it bothered Nils, as he could see in the dark just fine. He kind of wish he didn’t at that moment though, as he finally came face to face with the kind of man he was dealing with.

An absolute unit, a hulking bear of a man with fierce eyes and red hair like flame. He wondered what he must look like from the other side.. rather than staring down the huge eyes of a dragon in the darkness, there’s a pair of glowing red eyes that seemed almost human, but not quite human.

“U. Uh…..” Nils stammered, wide-eyed with the expression of a deer caught in front of a carriage. How was he supposed to save himself from this?! Or hell, even explain what’s happening.

Nils immediately jumped at the loud clang of metal, getting to his feet. And what a booming voice…! Even from a distance, the man’s intense energy was palpable. Though the cavern itself was icy, this energy was red hot. Dangerous…!

He had to think of something. Were he to run, he would most likely just get chased… and there’s no way he could outrun most humans. He likely couldn’t fight them off either, as his ability to use human magic was still… rather weak. Besides, were he to confront them surely he’d get in trouble, making sure he’d never get into this mine ever again…

Suddenly, an idea struck him. What if he pretended to be a cave monster, and scare the man off without directly facing him? It was risky, for sure, but the best thing he could think of. Then when the man runs off, Nils could escape and try again another day…

Silently, he cleared is throat. Holding onto his dragon stone tightly, he began with his little gambit.

“GrrrrrRRRRRRR……!!”

He began to growl, sounding distinctly like a dragon. Sure it may not be as loud, but besides volume it was nigh indistinguishable from his growls when in dragon form. Besides that, it was a clear sound of a territorial creature. No human would be daring or dumb to give chase now, right?

“Have you heard about the mines in Riegan? They say there’s tons of rare ore there, but they haven’t been able to get in deep enough… apparently the depths of the mine are extremely cold, so they’ve only been able to mine at surface level….”

Spurred on by such rumors, Nils had made the trip to see for himself if they were true. For a while now he had been attempting to make a chain that a dragon stone could be attached to for Ninian. She often carried her stone in her pockets, but if she were caught in a situation where she couldn’t reach for it that could be dangerous.

The only problem was, every chain he made would freeze over and break as soon as the stone exuded even a little bit of its subzero energy. He was hoping that ores from this cave may be a bit more resistant, considering its below freezing temperatures. As he was an ice dragon, such a thing wasn’t a danger to him at all. The only danger was being caught.. it seemed they fortified the mine.

He found out though, that at 11 pm exactly there’s a small gap of 5 minutes in which there’s no guard. The time quickly arrived, as he saw the man standing guard leave his post. Now..!

Quietly, he snuck to the entrance. The drop in temperature was immediately noticeable as he set foot inside, though to him this was much more pleasant compared to the air outside.

“The ore should be… in the cavern depths, I think.” As he walked forward, he didn’t notice the stone in front of his foot. Somewhat carelessly he fell onto the floor with a light thud that echoed through the cavern walls. “Shoot..!” There was a chance someone may have heard him…!

For as long as Nils could remember, he always liked the ocean. Back home, the waters were always frigid, perfect for a dragon like him. He loved the sensation of the sea’s frigid embrace seeping deep into his cold blooded body. Many happy memories were made of him swimming through waters covered in snow and ice, with his sister and mother by his side.

Even when they had to leave their homeland, their shrine in the world beyond was by the ocean too. Though not as frigid, diving deep enough would still grant Nils that wonderfully cold sensation. While many humans feared the deepest parts of the ocean, Nils always found them comforting. There was a unique solitary beauty in the world of cerulean depths.

So when he heard of an opportunity to sail the ocean once more, he was quite enticed by the prospect. He had gone sailing before, thanks to Fargus and his crew. Despite their reputation as pirates, they had integrity and courage. He looked back at his time with them fondly.. and hoped they were doing well. Likely off on another adventure.

Accompanying Nils on this trip was an energetic girl whose spirit shone brilliantly, like the radiant sun. She seemed very outgoing and lively, as It took him only mentioning he was a bard for her to start chatting with him, going off about some song he’s never heard about.

As soon as he stepped on the boat though, an unpleasant chill went down his spine. That could only mean one thing.. something would happen, something dangerous. There have been rumors of pirates.. perhaps they would encounter them.

(But… I’m not going to be afraid. I’m not as weak as I was before.) he thought back to Eliwood, Hector and Lyn. No matter what odds they were up against they faced it with courage, and turned around every negative fate that he foresaw. He could do it too. He had his dragon stone with him, if push comes to shove. He would change his own fate this time.

And it would indeed come down to that, as the captain was detained and they were tied down as well. He should’ve seen it coming.. they weren’t going to encounter pirates. No, the pirates were the crew. They hijacked the ship. They didn’t account for one thing, however.. that one of their captives was a dragon.

There was only one problem. When they were detained, Nils could only barely not reach his pouch with his hands, where his dragon stone was located. He noticed though that, with L’arachel being taller and thus having longer arms than he does, maybe she could reach it and then hand it to him.

As the insurrection leader turned around to focus on other matters, Nils quietly spoke up to the girl next to him. “I can probably get us out of these binds but.. I need my pouch on my hip. Could you take out the stone inside it and give it to me..?” He whispered to her. She seemed a little… flighty, but hoped she understood the gravity of their situation.

⭐️ The lizard see's the boy and approaches slowly at first. Letting out a small bark? squeak? A noise. Then just stares at him... For a rather long time. As if the lizard is trying to speak with him using its mind. The small thing then whips its head left and right, then.. suddenly.... The lizard is running right towards you, its little wings flared as if to jump!- No, as if to pounce!

“Ack-!” Suddenly, Nils felt something slap against his face. Opening his eyes he saw two tiny little lizard eyes staring back at him.

Uh oh, hold on. “Uh, little buddy? You might wanna get off… my body’s cold so you might freeze.” as an ice dragon, his body temperature was naturally very cold. If anything cold blooded touched him, there was a very good chance they can be frozen solid… oops.

Looking for threads!

Ewan 🔥 @optimismxmagicism

The Photo Booth - Just a fun lighthearted thread about Ewan and a friend taking silly pictures together! Preferably someone Ewan is already familiar with, but I’m down for him to make new friends too!

Club rush! - As the founder of the school’s new comedy club, Ewan’s looking for new members! He’ll happily explain (and show!) what they’re all about: making people smile, with the occasional harmless prank here and there…

BOOMS! - you think this little pyromaniac *wouldnt* jump at the chance to play with fireworks? This would be a total shenanigans thread where Ewan’s gonna try his darndest to blow some stuff up himself!

Nils 🪈 (here!)

(Note: He’s a GD so he can participate in other threads too!)

Heavy Armor - Nils loves the ocean, he’d love to take a trip on a boat! Catch him in a particularly good mood and he may just go draconic creature of the depths on any pirates attempting to ruin this wonderful trip~

Club Rush! - Nils is part of performing arts, but no other club has caught his eye quite yet. I’m interested in tackling this prompt with a member of a club looking to recruit him!!

Rat orchestra - Nils is uncomfortably familiar with kidnappings, so these rumors of disappearances definitely disturb him. He wants to find out where the missing students are and who captured them, to keep everyone safe!

Byleth 🕰️ @cendrivinite

Faith prompt (Needs GD!)- A serious thread, I’d like to explore Byleth’s growing interest in the teachings of Seiros, especially when human sacrifices seem to go squarely against everything the Goddess seems to preach. Ideally with a fellow Fodlan muse, or someone else with strong ties to faith, this thread would naturally have a lot of religious themes.

Rat Orchestra - Byleth is responsible for the students, of course he’s going to search for them. I think it would be fun if this thread had a focus on investigating and interrogating, similar to how things happen in game when Flayn goes missing!
