Sundras

Sundras is an Ice-based tundra-exclusive subspecies. It was established by the user BlackJackie at an unknown date. The original subspecies exists within a Google Document and not a thread; it was instead hosted on the Ice Flight's subspecies masterlist.

## Lore

*The appearance of Sundras is always connected to the relation of their parents. They are always the most important dragon in the life of each other, like their own sun. Different stories about different couples come up over the time, but this one was the first offical which discovered the existence of the Sundras:*
*A not so long time ago an Imperial of the Fire Flight with eyes glowing like Fire decided to join a Clan of the Ice Flight, together with his two sisters. The siblings were always close together, always happy. But over the time when all grow up, the heart of the young Imperial was busy. He feels that he needs to found his mate. A lot of time and dragons passed, but at one days he noticed that his mate wasn't part of his clan. This intuition caused a deep depression. Even his sisters couldn't help him and he encapsulated himself more and more and also stopped moving. He just lays the whole days on his place and looked into the snow.*
*While the Imperial was captured in his own thoughts, the young Tundra joined also from the Fire Flight to this Ice Clan. Of course she noticed this huge stiff dragon and asked the other clan members about him. They explained what happened to him. She felt sympathy with him and made her own thoughts, but first stayed away from him and grew up.*

*One very cold day the young Tundra lady walked through the snow to the Imperial.*

*"Is it not too cold to lay around alone?", she asked friendly.*

*First the Imperial didn't answer, but after several hours he looked at this stubborn Tundra. After staring so long on the white snow her warm colors touches his heart and his memory of the Fire Flight. For him she was more beautiful than the upcoming sun. After several minutes, the Imperial smiled. And she smiled back.*

*"It seems like you are a little bit frozen, hm? Let me warm your heart a little bit up- Fire-buddy", she said and snuggeld againt his chest. Her warm orange eyes looked up to him, finding his eyes which have lost his inner Fire - and now start glowing again. Awaked from his numbness he nocticed how cold the little Tundra was after sitting so long in the snow storm. He moved his icebound legs and tail around her to keep her warm.*

*"You didn't warm my heart up", he buzzed and caused a sad exoression on her face, but he kept speaking: "You light my heart up like the sun."*

*Since then the two dragons spended much time together. They hunted, played and explored together. Nobody was surprised after they announced the first nest. Both were very excited and at every time on of the both Fire dragons was by the four eggs. On their hatch day four boys - Helios, Firea, Brightsun and Flyre - were born. First there was nothing special about them, except they all looked like the Sun, very similar to their mother. A few days later the Clan noticed that all of them eradiate heat. The proud father laughed while looking the snow slowly melting around them. "It seems like they inherit our inner fire", he purred to the Tundra.*

*And so, the Sundras are born. Famous for their warmhearted character and loved from every other elemental-dragons which moved into an Ice Clan.*

*Extra : It appears that the adult Sundras have specific characteristics because of the special realtion of their parents, but just if they are born in the Ice Flight. Every Sundra produces a comfortable warmth, which becomes even stronger when they have found their mate. Sundras with Runes appear as strong mages, most times as healers. Their inner heat adaptes oneself to the temperature of their environment, so they can't hurt others. It is very important for them to take care of their clan mates, like their parents take care of each other.*
