Hey guys! I decided to make a Stonewings story after all. Still accepting ocs of Stonewings. Tell my their name, gender, backstory and the role you would like it to play Keep in mind I may not do the exact role you put for your oc. Enjoy!!
Enigma shyly peeked out her home-cave hole. Where is she? Did something interesting happen?
Enigma was like any other Stonewing, a face in the crowd, nothing special. But her mother, Mesa, has always told her she was a precious stone, and that the outside didn't matter.
Suddenly, her mother landed down on the stone out jut.
"Hello my precious jewel!" she heard her mother sing.
Enigma peered out to be pulled into an embrace only a mother could give.
"Hey mom! I heard some noises. What happened?" Curious Enigma questioned
Mesa released her and announced to the sky, "Queen Canyon is gone, and now the reign of Queen Iroquois begins!"
Enigma cocked her head. "What about Quartz?"
"Oh.. Well.. She, well... was k-killed by Canyon. That's why Queen Iroquois took over." she said solemly.
Enigma looked down at her white talons. It was natural to be sad at the death of royalty, but Enigma had a special connection to Quartz, when her mother worked at the palace late, Enigma came with and Quartz showed her around the castle, being the kindest dragon (apart from her mother, of course) she had ever met.
"Oh don't be sad dearest, we are free from Canyon's reign." Mesa wiped a tear from her eye. "I-I just wish it was a little earlier before..." She cut herself off as a flying figure was heading toward their cave.
"Mesa!" a voice cried.
"Oh Irie! Oh.. Sorry Queen Iroquois!" Mesa supressed a giggle.
The queen landed, saying "Please, You of all people should call me Irie, Mesai!"
Mesa laughed and motioned to Enigma, "You know my dearest Enigma right?"
"Actually I came here mostly for her." She smiled at Enigma.
"Would you like some privacy?" Mesa had every confidence in the safety of the new Queen's presence, unlike her attitude towards the late Canyon.
"I wanted to bring her to the castle, if that surpasses your consent." The Queen asked.
Enigma blinked. What did she say? Being an uneducated Stonewing, as education was only granted to nobles and royalty, Enigma had a very simple vocabulary.
"Of course, my consent is granted to you, my Irie!" Mesa bowed.
Enigma again blinked at the vocabulary. But then she remembered that Quartz secretly taught her highened vocabulary, but did not risk teaching Enigma.
"What do you say, Enigma? Stay for dinner if you please."
"Ummm... yeah sure?" Enigma guessed.
Iroquois laughed "Alright, come, fly with me to the castle."
After a quick goodbye between Mesa and Iroquois, they set off, gliding in and out of the clouds.
"Enigma, I wanted to say personally how sorry I am about Quartz's death. I miss her too, but only being a small dragonet of 4, it must've hit you hard." the Queen looked at Enigma, with the most serious and solemn face Enigma has ever seen.
"Well, I mean, I have never really been old enough to understand death, as my father died before I hatched." Enigma admitted.
"Your father... Gorge, right?"
"Yes, I hate to change the subject my Queen, or your majesty, or your gra-"
Queen Iroquois cut her off. "Please, don't call me anything like that. I don't enjoy or thrive on the respect of others."
Enigma tilted her head.
"Oh... Oh... I'm sorry. I-I forgot." The Queen looked down, Enigma could almost see her shaming herself.
" It's okay. I'm used to it." Enigma shot a wide smile at the Queen.
They flew during the awkward silence before Enigma started seeing the giant building of the Stonewing Palace. They lighted down on one of the many stone outcroppings of the giant mesa.
"Come, I want to tell you why I brought you here in this room." Iroquois motioned towards a cave to the far left.
When they entered the room, Enigma's mouth dropped. There were scrolls, ink, and toys, There were so many things to do!
"Where.. What..." Enigma couldn't start.
Iroquois giggled "I'm glad you like it, but there is more. This is just the side chamber."
She headed towards what Enigma took as a sleeping cave, as there was a pile of down feathers, branches, and woven fabric in one corner.
"Please, sit." The Queen flicked her tail towards the nest.
Enigma sat down, amazed on how comfy and amazing this place was.
Iroquois sighed, then began, " I understand that you are unable to read and write however, I would like to propose that you stay here and that your mother will join you and I will teach you to read and write so that you may become my... scribe while your mother keeps her job here. Enigma, you may not have realized but I have taken special interest in you. You may think you are just like everyone else but you are special I've noticed your ability to comprehend... I mean know what others are saying even if it is above your known words."
Enigma was surprised. I'm good at something I didn't know about? And the Queen, of all people, noticed! My Queen, your words make me happy and they would make my mother happy as well we should go back and tell her of your thought and we would be able to move in here whenever you would like."
"I thought of telling her when I was at your cave but I decided I would like to get to know you before I offered you a living. So, tell me, Enigma. What is yout motivation, your past, your emotions, your memories. If you tell me yours, I will tell you mine as well." Iroquois settled onto the cool, colorful cave floor, before a servant came in with a small portable nest, set it down beside her and she clambered onto it staring at Enigma intently.
Enigma began...
