Tales From the Nexus

Threw around the idea of all knowing and all-powerful god dragons living in a universe beyond yet a part of the WoF one. Here's a collection of random stories spawned from that idea. There ain't that many and they ain't good.

Bright Future was once again sweeping up the remains of a vase. She sighed as she gathered up the largest of the shards, the blue of the vase clashing horribly with her orange scales. Bright Future was particularly upset that this blue vase had broken. She had intended to sell it the next day, and for quite large profit. She would need to spend the rest of the day and possibly the next creating a new one. There wasn't anyone to blame for the vase's destruction but herself. When Bright Future had bought her shelves, she never intended them to hold anything more than a book or two, or some random trinkets. As she was quickly discovering they weren’t very strong and broke very easily. She looked over at the collapsed shelf. That was going to have to be something she delt with after she made the new vase. Being one of the few ceramists in Nexus was very demanding, but quite rewarding. None could even come close to matching Bright Future's quality if they tried, and being the only one in the profession she could set the prices at whatever she wanted. Bright Future set the shards on a table. She looked at them for a while. Maybe she could glue them back together with gold or something. She'd read somewhere that it would work. As frustrating as it could be sometimes Bright Future truly loved creating beautiful, and useful works of art. Growing up she'd always been more interested in art, rather than helping out in the dimensions. At first Bright Future was questioned insistently about whether she was making the right decision. Typically building and the creation most things in Nexus were left to the Untouchables, due to their lower status. Bright Future ignored the questions and doubt, and now she had the most successful ceramic business in Nexus. She could defiantly fix this vase, and save her many hours of extra work. Bright Future looked back at the shelf again. That on the other talon could not be fixed. Oh well. 
Loneliness:
Swift Justice stood atop of a rocky outcropping sticking out of the sand. A blue moon was high in the night sky, casting a warm glow across the desert. A cool breeze blew, sending small flurries of sand across the dunes. From her vantage point Swift Justice could see the walled oasis city Sumer, the bright pinpricks of torches doing little in the way of illumination. However the city wasn't Swift Justice's focus. She was watching a figure leaving it. They weren't the one that Swift Justice was there for, but she found herself inexplicably drawn to them. A lone wanderer in an empty desert, just like her. Swift Justice spread her shiny green wings and flew down to the lone dragon. She landed a few steps behind them. The lone wanderer stopped and turned around to face Swift Justice. He was young, with a narrow face and sad eyes. He had four wings and orange brown scales with black stripes. He stood half a head shorter than Swift Justice and wore a tattered grey cloak. "Hello." He said. His voice was soft and carried the same strange accent as everyone else here seemed to have. 
"What are you doing out here so late?" Swift Justice asked. The lone wanderer shrugged. 
"I could easily ask you the same thing." Swift Justice smiled. 
"I suppose so. My name is Swift Justice, and you are?"
"Oryx." The lone wanderer said. "It's very beautiful here at night." He pointed at the rocky outcropping Swift Justice had been standing on. "I like to sit up there and watch the stars." Swift Justice didn't know why she said it, but she also didn't regret it.
"Would you mind if I joined you?" Oryx nodded. 
"If you want." They spent hours watching the stars. Oryx knew many constellations, including some Swift Justice didn't know existed. She enjoyed being around Oryx. He was soft spoken and smart. Swift Justice thought about her life in Nexus. Her empty home and the stifling silence. She'd heard stories of celestials going native and falling in love with someone, Swift Justice had never thought that it could be her. It would be so easy to remain here in this desert with this quiet, star watcher and be happy. It was so lonely back in Nexus, nobody would ever notice if Swift Justice was gone. Nobody would ever care, and she would never be lonely again.
