Vermilion

dedspite it all i sitll like you. hm. i will keep you
the story of a rebel. it's not a success story — -'s not one of the silkwings who managed to slip by their enemies in daily life unnoticed even as rage bubbled underneath the surface, not one of those who plotted against and and acted and walked free with chains broken, but instead of a dragon who, as all odds predicted, fell.
> page contains mild gore and violence !!! please take caution
//
dragons mill in the crowd, the marketspace packed to the brim and every other dragon stumbling over your talons as you stumble over theres, pushing your way through the mass to reach the stalls by the edge where you want to go.
someone pushes past you, on their way to some other destination brushing by your side with the shove of a shoulder, and you turn — perhaps to yell, perhaps just to glare. but every action that you might have done falls away when you catch eye of their scales — and mostly, their colors. they're bright, almost blarishly so, and they press against your eyelids, glarish shades of crimson and scarlet and red, red, red, and they remain even as you close your eyes.
the silkwing's casted in glorious loud shades, colors almost insistent upon attention, shades of blazing red and explosive orange taking up your entire view. he's swathed in the colors, brighter than any other silkwing that you have ever seen before, and immediately you know: he is like no other dragon that you've ever met.
but it's only when he's turned, when he's almost out of view that you catch view of his back.
namely, his wings.
that is — the absence of them.

plot thing notes -
*rebel? kinda rebel. still kind of rebel. part of the chrysalis.
*pretty much joined as soon as he was able to
*bloodworm hive
*eight or nine or something he's like Young but Not That Young
*at first when he joined the chrysalis. because there were more people in bloodworm the guys in kind-of-charge were like. hmm. do we really want this guy. why are his colors so bright holy crap what. because, you know, more attention drawn to him and all that.
**except that vermilion's like, super super bent into getting into the chrysalis lmao (for good reason. his life sucked tbh. all of theirs were, really.) also because it meant an excuse to get away from his family. so.
**ended up letting him in as a form of distraction. so a dummy
**and then yeah that happened
**and. and bad stuff happened
* hive drone ?? like, servant or whatever they're called i forgot and. i'm too tired to go search it up lmao
* was put to work for hex's family — hex, mainly, as her parents already had one that tended to their needs — but ended up being. more like friends than servants
* ftm he/him
