Wyvern

**Wyvern** is a slender tortoiseshell she-cat with unblinking green eyes.

## History

Speckle was born as the single kit to a loner, Divinity. Divinity routinely travels, and never stays in one place for too long, routinely taking Speckle with her. She raises Speckle to have an appreciation for nature and the Earth, and tells her that the world will always be on her side for as long as she will appreciate it. Speckle is close to her mother because of this, and the two share a spiritual connection with the world that they call their home.
When Speckle is older, she notices that Divinity cannot travel as well as she used to. Speckle cares for her mother, and wishes to give her comfort as she reaches her old age. She tells her mother that she should go into the city and find a nice human that will keep her company for the rest of her old life. Divinity is hesitant to leave her daughter in the world, but Speckle assures her that she will carry out her own adventures and find her own purpose in life. She leaves Divinity in the city, and promises her that she will give back what the earth had gifted.
Speckle travels alone, and goes far from the city where she had left her mother. Now having no one, she relies on the stars above to keep her company. She comes across a peculiar tree with beautiful leaves that glint in the light. Speckle is drawn to the tree, but simultaneously fears it. She lays down next to the tree, and experiences a bizarre dream.
In the dream, Speckle sees a large beast roaming the sky. The beast resembles a lizard but is larger than anything Speckle had ever seen before in her lifetime. She is scared, but is unable to move her paws. The beast flies above her, and breathes fire from its jaws onto her. The fire feels like electricity under her pelt, and she suddenly wakes up. The dream, feeling very real to Speckle, starts to make her believe that the tree she had been sleeping by is teeming with hidden power. Speckle decides to stay by it, and changes her name to Wyvern to symbolize the new direction she had taken with her life.

The next night, Wyvern has another dream. The large beast is on the ground in front of her, staring at her with eyes that resembled burnt amber. She approaches it, and calls out for it to introduce itself. The beast speaks to her and says that his name is *Alkvir*, and that he is a beast of an ancient time. He tells Wyvern that he is a dragon. Wyvern is confused, and asks how long ago did he roam the skies. *Alkvir* replies by saying that it has been too long, and it has also been too long since any soul has found his tree. He confirms Wyvern's suspicions that the Tree has powerful energy, and has the ability to instill both life and death to those who seek it. Wyvern asks for more information, but the dragon is already fading. He tells her that they will speak again soon, and the cat wakes up.
When Wyvern wakes, she finds a large cat staring over her. He introduces himself as Smoag - the King of the Blood Guardians. Wyvern is confused, and asks him if he knows anything about *Alkvir*. Smoag chuckles, and tells her that she had already met who she had needed to. He tells her that he is the last King of the Dragon Blood Guardians, who were cats entrusted to guard the Dragon Tree. He explains that he Dragon Tree hails from ancient times, and the spirits of the dragons that once cherished the tree still inhabit the air. Wyvern is mystified, and begs to know more about the history of the Dragon Blood Guardians.
Smoag spends the next few days telling Wyvern about everything that she desired. He tells her that he is sure that the Dragon Spirits had sent her to him, and that it his her destiny to bring a new revival to the Guardians. He offers to officially name himself as her father, if she so wishes. Wyvern, having never had a father in her life, eagerly accepts this opportunity.
Wyvern spends the next few moons learning underneath Smoag. He teaches her special herbal remedies, and the importance behind the Dragon Tree. Wyvern is taught to both fear and respect the tree, and to not be afraid to ask it for guidance if needed, for the Dragon Spirits will always offer what assistance they can.
Wyvern, skilled with herbal knowledge that her mother had taught her, frequently goes out into the trees to search for herbs. One day, upon returning, she is met by the sight of a large cat unconscious in front of the tree. When he rouses, he asks her what the tree had done to him. Wyvern explains that the Tree does provide healing, but not in the way that he is seeking. She offers to take him to the mountain meadows to forage with her, and he agrees. She leads him to a plant that will aid in the healing that he desires, and then returns to the Tree.
The next morning, the formerly-unconscious cat returns to Wyvern. He tells her that the herb worked, and thanks her. The cat then introduces himself as Doomsayer. Wyvern tells him that she is Princess of the Dragon Blood Tree, after feeling a sense of responsibility from the dragon who had visited her in her dream. He mocks her, and she knocks him unconscious again. When he rouses, he tells her that he respects her strength and authority, and asks her if she needs any assistance. She tells him that she has room for a guard to guard the sanctity of the Tree, and Doomsayer agrees to do it for her.
When Smoag passes, Wyvern is named Queen of the Dragon Blood Guardians. Doomsayer promises her that he will protect her and the Tree at all costs.
