Wishes from Kaldgrim

Yolfi. She sat watching the night sky. The tents of the war party burned behind her. She had slipped a concoction of herbs into the stew pot when the raiders had launched their attack on the dwarves hold, then slipped in and killed the now **** to sleep raiders after their meal. She now watched the night sky dispassionately with the warmth of the burning camp behind her. She wondered how many more raiders and their clans she could bring down before her luck ran out. There had been a near thing this time and a couple back. As those doubts slipped through her mind the memories of how she had been abused before the dragon freed her restoked the rage in her heart. She looked up hoping to catch a glimpse of the noble sky lords. Maybe someday one would claim her for a consort. As she looked up she saw a bright point of light ignite in the sky. As the point turned into a burning streak she jumped to her feat in excitement. A Dragonfall, it was the arrival of a great dragon. She laughed as she cast out her wish. As the portal snapped open, she fairly danced through into the claws of her new draconic master.

Morrigan. She and her sisters sat around the stones after the ritual to refresh the protection that kept the war crazed god from sending one of his champions to destroy them. She now watched the sky. The omens had shown that an event that could permanently safeguard the summerstones and render them beyond the war gods reach. They had assumed a cost would be demanded to secure protection for the stones and Morrigan had chosen to shoulder the cost. Now she looked to the heavens and watched. Then she spotted the bright point of light. All the members stood and watched each realizing what this was. A Dragonfall, this was the chance and she would not waste it. She cast out her witch and a portal snapped open before her, as she stepped through she witnessed the summerstones shimmer and seam to gain a greater perminace now indestructible to any **** of the old war god.

Grix. Grix sat watching the town recover from the raid. The raiders had hit when the chief had taken most of his warriors on a raid of their own. This was the fifth raid she had ben in and one of the previous ones had resulted in her being claimed by her current master. She was tired of being afraid and worried about the next raid, about being killed rather than captured, about her masters human wives and concubines getting rid of her. She just wanted to feel safe. At this point she was willing to just about anything. As if in answer to her wish a light appeared in the sky. The burning point turned into a bright streak across the sky. She had heard the legends and now it had come to life. A Dragonfall, she made her decision she could not ask for a better protector than a greater dragon. She cast out her wish and was almost through the portal before it had fully opened.
