Tabitha

“To dragons, I’m but a living sin.”
—Description
Daughter of Pavara and Balerius, the last descendant of the Royal Fire Dragon family, elder of the Dragon Parliament and the descendant of the sinners of Dragons.

When the Fire Dragons were defeated during the War of the Dragons, she was brought up by the Queen of the Blue Dragons and grew up at the court of the Blue Dragon King.

Once grown up, her memory of her bloodline was unsealed by the magic of her mother Pavara.

So she went to the Elder Dragon's Tomb and resurrected her mother.

## Story

   An orphan from the War of the Dragons, Tabitha was adopted and raised by the Blue Dragon Queen.

As she grew older, she sensed she was different from all other dragons.

She had red hair, red eyes, and scarlet horns. Nowhere throughout the Highwind Plateau could another dragon like her be found.

She even awakened the Power of the Flame that, according to legend, had been lost to the dragons since time immemorial.

Because of her uniqueness, her dragon-peers treated Tabitha as a monster and harbored animosity toward her.

She simply could not stand their hostility any longer and attacked them.

The searing heat of Tabitha’s fiery breath incinerated the wings of the dragons who had taunted her.

When she breathed her first flames, she realized her natural powers were strong.

She was convinced that she had been chosen for greatness.
As she began to fearlessly breath her flames, she became bolder and wilder.

Her unique appearance and power filled her with curiosity as to who she really was.

And so, she asked her adoptive mother, the Blue Dragon Queen, about where she came from.

The Blue Dragon Queen replied in a serious tone: “Your father was Balerius Valerius, and you are a descendant of the Fire Dragons.”

But when Tabitha continued to ask about the Fire Dragons, the Blue Dragon Queen refused to say anything more on the subject, as if she were hiding something.

Tabitha had to investigate the dragons’ historical records by herself for any accounts regarding the Fire Dragons.

However, it seemed as if the Fire Dragons were a taboo, so Tabitha went behind the Blue Dragon Queen’s back and sneaked into the forbidden section of the Dragon Parliament’s archives, where she found a few scraps of information:

“Of the Elder Dragons, the Fire Dragons are the only ones still living, and Valerius is their leader. After instigating the War of the Dragons, the ruthless Valerius and his Fire Dragons were attacked and killed by the Blue, the Silver and the Black Dragons. If an evil spawn is ever to surface, it must be exterminated or another calamity will befall the dragons."

“...evil spawn...”

Her own birth father was the biggest villain and the reason why the dragons had ended up in their current predicament.

And the power which she had been so proud of, was a symbol of evil.

Not until then did she realize the danger her wild and unruly behavior had put herself and the Blue Dragons in.

She began to temper herself and took great care to conceal her abilities.

It was however, already too late. The fact that she could use the Power of the Flame had already reached the ears of the Dragon Parliament elders.

The elders brought the Parliament’s Regiment to the Blue Dragons’ habitat, and requested the Blue Dragon Queen hand over the evil spawn.

Tabitha listened from afar when the elders accused the Blue Dragon Queen of harboring such an evil, saying that it will bring great harm to the dragons.

The Blue Dragon Queen showed a side of her which Tabitha had never before witnessed when she firmly stood her ground and argued that the sins of one’s parents ought not to be imposed on their progeny, and therefore Tabitha is guiltless.

However, three days later Tabitha was marked as a sinner and taken as a captive to the Sinning Grounds.

Before departure, the Blue Dragon Queen told Tabitha: “I’m sorry, but it’s for your own protection. As long as you live, there is still hope. You are not a sinner.”

The Sinning Grounds used to be the Fire Dragons’ habitat. While there, one’s life is in constant danger, ancient traps are spread all over, and it also serves as a prison for evil and vicious creatures.

With the power of the Fire Dragons’ bloodline, Tabitha struggled for survival in the Sinning Grounds.

She had faith in the Blue Dragon Queen, and didn’t believe she had done any unforgivable evil.

If she were ever to escape this place, she vowed to take revenge upon the elders whom had put her there to die.

As Tabitha entered adulthood, the magical seal placed upon dragons with Fire Dragon blood had vanished, and she obtained the inherited memories of her ancestors.

In these inherited memories she found a way to break out of the dragons’ control. She would resurrect her mother, the powerful Pavara who continued to scheme even in her death.

This was her only means of escape, her only means to return home.

When her power increased, as it would, she would be more powerful than the elders, and she would ensure that she would be called "evil spawn" no longer.

Guided by her newfound memories, Tabitha escaped the Sinning Grounds and went to the tomb of the Elder Dragons to speak with the soul of her birth mother, Pavara.

Under the guidance of her mother, she returned to the dragons to plan for Pavara’s resurrection. This is when she began to call herself ‘Shade of the Red Dragons’.

She cast away her blue garments and changed into a dazzling fiery dress which symbolized her Fire Dragon ancestry.

After being resurrected, Pavara aided Ulysses’s rise in power. Due to this, the Shade of the Red Dragons also attained high status.

Even though everything seemed well, she knew that she was but her mother’s beautiful and useful pawn.

In order to keep her power and her position, she was willing to remain an arrogant pawn.
