The West Wing

"Oh, hello again! I see that Sundance has led you to me? What is it? You'd like to hear more about me...? Well, ok... Shall I begin at say the beginning?" *laughs* "Of course I will..."

"I was born early in the morning on a cold December day. It was apparently a hard birth for my mother, as she died shortly after... It still pains me to think that my life caused my mother's death... My father had no idea how to raise me and gave me to a near-by living centaur. Her name is Cloeanitha, and she has been like a mother to me.... She is a very beautiful centaress..."

"I learned much of what I know today from her. She was a wise and loving teacher. As soon as she thought I could handle it she told me of my past... I'm not sure if I was ready or not, but I must have been because she seems to know everything...."

"Anyways, that was the beginning of me. When I found out of this, I asked her what I might do. Who was I? She told me I was who I wanted to be. Then and there I decided I would like to be a Keeper someday as she was."

"From the day I decided this, she started my teaching. Which animals like company, which are better alone. Locations certain animals like to live in and how to find a good area to start a weyr for those types of animals. Once she thought I was ready, she told me so and I left to find a place to call my own."

"What luck I had! I found an establishment that was closing down because the Keeper was retiring. I bought it at a low price from her (she didn't want to close it, and therefore sold at a low price so I could afford it). Then I started the process of fixing it up."

"Since that day, I have bonded many a creature into my care.... And found more about myself in the process."

"Through my minis I have learned that I have a gift of some telepathy, and *very* slight telekinesis. Through Vintâge, I have learned what betweening is like, and that I love the feeling, which is said to be inborn- the like of the feeling. Which means one of my relatives was a dragonrider! Thanks to whomever that was.... I have the feeling it was on my mother's side.... I'm still unsure as to her ancestry, but I'm surer every day that they were a very special people. I wish my father would just tell me, but so far he has not. He seems afraid, and I suppose I can wait to find out on my own...."

"Now that Sunbloom has become quite established, I have hired help, and it gives me a *little* bit more time, of which I spend at MiniDragon Isle, the place I bonded my many minis.... I have an apprenticeship there, under Jaylor- the Egg Master, at the Kalenik Sands. Hopefully I do my job well..."

"Anyways, that is my story up to this point... Please follow Sundance to your next destination!"

Well, where will it be? Back to theMain Cavern, the Dragon Caves, or maybe the Unusual Animals?
