Doss

Doss is a young adult SilkWing belonging to the blue caped Pandellis Clan. He was selected by his clan as a candidate and remained such, even after a disastrous event on his Day of Farewell when he lost his entire family at sea and claimed to have survived an encounter with the Great Serpent, an event said to be a powerful charm to those who escaped it. However, in reality, Doss was picked up by Dark Ones and bent to the will of the Dragon Lord and his servants as part of a plan to conquer Pantala. His memory was then tampered with so that Doss would not be removed from the Choosing and subliminal commands were placed in Doss so he would be activated only by specific words. Doss is currently the Keeper of the Crystal and resides in The Cavern of the Crystal in the town of Maris.
== History ==
On Doss's Day of Farewell, where he would bid his family goodbye and henceforth withdraw for a year to study, as was customary for a candidate for the Keeper. To celebrate, the family of SilkWings took their boat out to sea to watch the full moon rise. Sailing far out to sea, just as Doss and her kin were considering returning to land, cleverly filled in leaks sprang and the ship began taking on water, forcing the SilkWings to strike out for land against the strong current, which swiftly swept away Doss's brothers, father and mother. It was only then that the perpetrators revealed themselves: Dark Ones under the command of the traitor Ex-Queen Wasp, who were acting under orders from their master, the Dragon Lord. The Dark Ones subsequently bent Doss to their will and buried secret orders within his mind; were he to be named Keeper on the Choosing, he would call their waiting invasion fleet forwards. Should he loose, he was to assassinate the former Keeper before a new one could bond with the Crystal, henceforth opening the way for invaders. The Dragon Lord servants then covered the truth of what had happened with a false memory of Doss, after losing sight of his family, hearing the singing of the Great Serpent, which rose from the sea to tower of him, locking gazes with him before blackness closed over the young SilkWing. To fully conceal what had been done, Wasp and her troops placed subliminal orders within Doss so that he would call forth their war ships if he was named Keeper or kill the former Keeper before a new one could bond with the Crystal if he was not named. These instructions would be activated by the ceremonial words always used in the ceremony. Wasp then dropped the unconscious Doss on a piece of driftwood and left him to drift to shore and be found by his clan as the only survivor.
