What lies beneath scales.

Elara
Character Strengths

+Alert: Elara is very alert, keeping a close eye on everything around her. She listens closely to what might be happening in the background and always is swift to take action. Her close observation skills have saved her life many times.

+Aphonic: Quiet and swift, Elara is able to hide away and sneak to and fro. Shes always careful to stay out of the fray and dance away into safety when Primordus is defending her from harm. But she also uses this to aid him, stealing food and Jade dust from those she might run into.

+Loving: She takes comfort in being close with people she cares about, taking great value in her relationship with Primordus. Elara is quick to forgive due to how much she finds love for the people around her, and fears that she might not be liked in return.

Character Flaws:

-Feeble: Elara is extremely small, and very weak. Due to this she has to take a lot of Stealthy approaches to getting around with her companions.

-Paranoid: Without Primordus or the comfort of someone she loves, Elara is very scared. Shes constantly watching the shadows and letting her imagination run wild. What might come out from the treeline and try and snatch her up into its horrifying jaw is something always on her mind.

-Overly Eager: Elara is very eager to meet new people, some times going up to complete strangers and trying to talk. This ends badly some times due to her strong love for the people around her, trusting anyone who might show her kindness.

Personality: Elara is a young girl, who loves her companion dearly. Willing to do anything for his safety, including stealing and possibly even lying to those who might bring harm to Primordus. However shes crippled by a slight paranoia of what might come from the unknown, a constant reoccurring nightmare about jaws snatching her from the treeline.

Primordus
Character Strengths

+Stoic: He can endure many hardships, and a lot of pain in order to get what needs to be done, done. His bravery is unyielding, even in the face of peril. His endurance is something of legend.

+Protective: Primordus is extremely protective of those he cares about, going to the ends of the runelands to keep them safe. He'll endure great pain and dismay in order to make sure harm can't touch those he cares about so they'll never have to worry.

+Lionhearted:He will never back down, no matter the odds. Primordus will never falter in the face of a threat if it means it'll bring harm to those he cares for. This trait seems to be amplified when hes having to protect Elara

Character Flaws:

-Vehement: His intensity is extreme, his fury is resolute, unable to often control his anger when it strikes. Even more so when his fury unleashes involving someone he cares about.

-Solitary: While hes open to friendships, and has great sympathy for the humans, he prefers to be on his own (with the exception of Elara). He'll generally stick to his own, not taking the time to communicate with humans or the other Kozoda.

-Inordinate:What Primordus does, he does well. He is excessive in all means, those who bring on his rage shall feel the fury of the Kozodo, those who bring on his comfort shall feel like they're under the wing of a guardian. Everything he does, he'll take until its done.

Personality: Primordus is a lizard of his emotions. His rage could shatter mountains and his compassion could mend the most broken of hearts. However his solitude left him in mystery, those who could break down the stone wall of his scales, found themselves with one of the strongest allies in the land. It was said being under his wing could provide protection even the ancients couldn't shatter.

Protecting her

The tale of fates crossed.

Elara looked to the large lizard, the campfire illuminating his crimson scales. "Primordus, tell me how we met again!" Her little eyes squinted slightly from the light of the campfire. The gruff, booming voice of the kozoda would soon sound within her ears. "That was many, many moons ago, young one. We were preparing to invade the human village, we watched for hours from dusk until dawn. The humans...they seemed so calm, so happy... It made my molten core ache as I saw the children playing with their guardians. A specific one caught my molten gaze, she was smaller than the other children, her hair was a pinkish hue. But I knew that none would be spared, for my brothers had never felt the responsibility of loving a child as I had, and the pain of delivering your brood to the burning chasms of the core".


His rough voice haltered for a moment a flood of emotions hitting him, but the one that stood out the most was his anger."We had no hesitation, we struck as the sun would rise. They had no way of surviving, the fight was short and bittersweet, a victory for my brothers, but for me, I feel as if a part of me never left that battlefield. The horrible, contorted faces of those who had fallen to our hands, the burning homes and the horrid stench of scorched flesh. All of it weighed on me, but there was one moment that took it all." The Kozoda's anger weighed greatly, the orange light from within his scales starting to shine brighter.


"I saw one of my reptilian brothers holding the girl, her pink hair was singed and a claw was against her throat. Before I knew it I was screaming out rushing to tear her away from my ally. I was angry, not only with my brothers, but with Katla. The blood was already running from her neck and her screams were gurgling, almost silent. I lashed out with anger threatening the brother who could have done this to someone so young. Someone who couldn't have defended themselves to begin with!" Primordus coughs, shaking with anger as he recalled the horrid events. "We began to fight among ourselves, those who were older knowing the pain of losing one so young. While the new borns among us called for her blood, to finish the job. I looked down at the little girl and in that moment I knew, I wouldn't allow such an evil turn. I knew we were better than that."


The girl seemed entranced by his words, like she was listening to her father tell a fairy tail before bed. "And in that moment. Katla spoke, she told me that if I wished to save the human so badly, to give up what she had lost. I knew what had to be done, and in that moment I accepted the offer. Before I could change my mind I felt the immense pain of having my throat cut, and where I once could speak, was replaced by the unintelligent growls and roars of an animal. But to me, saving a life so young was worth pain a thousand times fold, and even now as I look back. And so I left, the younger Kozoda swearing to find us, and to take both of our lives. I knew my brothers would no longer welcome me into the brood. But that was okay with me, because I regret none of the life I had spent." Primordus would look down at Elara, giving her a short nod. before he spoke up.


"That little girl was you, and the reason you can understand me now is the fact that a part of me saved your life. No matter where I am, you will always have a part of me to protect you." the lizards anger would fade, looking down at Elara, who reminded him so much of the daughter he once had. A clawed hand would ruffle the girls hair before a voice spoke again. "But, its time for you to sleep, enough of these stories. Tomorrow we leave for the next town." And with that, Elara would begin to doze off. While Primordus thought, and watched the night sky, wondering just how long it'd take his brothers to find him.
