Description

Name: Opacaré

Height: 16 ft. at shoulder (or somewhere close to it...)

Weight: Unknown

Rank: New Recruit







Son of Illina the Grey, Opacare was paired soon after
hatching with Talon, daughter of Dragoon Lieutenant
Commander Aaron, Illina's rider.

In the few years before the War, Aaron and Illina taught
Talon and Opacare what they could of the Code of the
Knights.

Sariah, Aaron's wife and mother to Talon and Derin, was in
charge of their chocobo ranch, teaching her children
dedication in caring for their chocobos and their land.


Then came the Great War.

With the Dark bent on destroying the greatest force of the
Light, it began to take out the Dragoons one by one though
raids on their homes.

Illina, Aaron, and Aaron's wife, Sariah, perished in one such
raid, leaving Talon and her brother, Derin, alone. They
managed to keep their farm running with much help from
Opacare.

Soon after the close of the War, the remaining dragons were
exiled to the few reserves in remote regions, far from
Baron...far from home.

Amongst tearful goodbyes, the two inseparable siblings
decided to sell everything and part ways...Derin leaving for
Mysidia to train as a Black Mage, Talon choosing to go into
exile with Opacare.

For many years the hardships of exile in barren lands
abounding with bandits, outlaws, and other unscrupulous
characters, seasoned Opacare and Talon into hardened
warriors, yet with the valor of the Knights governing their
every action, they were as honorable as the Dragoons of old.

Soon after Talon turned 20, she heard news of an
unexpected, yet wondrous, event...the Dragoons were
reorganized!

Ecstatic, the two warriors took off, heading toward Baron, to
apply for the ranks of the honored Order of The Dragon
Knights.

My first ever short story...I really hope I have the facts (at
least the important ones) right. ^^;

Yes, I still need to draw Talon...and I kinda rushed on the
highlights...though, I think the finished product is rather
satisfactory. ^_^

Opacare and Talon belong to me.
I don't know who that little silhouette thing belongs to, I just
found it in my mountain of buried files and decided to use it. ^^;
