DIV-527: Nightmare

Former mate of --- and father of ---. He suffers from Melting Sphirix Syndrome and spends most of his time in the Forsaken caves. There were signs that he had the disorder very early in his life. When he hatched he had magic coloured eyes and would often complain of phantom pains. His parents realised what it was when the magic began bleeding out from his eyes one day and he was crying about his sphirix losing its fur. 

 

His father wanted to quietly put him out but his mother was very against the idea and rather she gave him up to be kept in the Forsaken caves..as she couldn't bare to see the disorder progress further. 

 

He was saddened to be left there, but met another grifix there that had the same syndrome. The two grew very close because of their shared despair of what was happening to their sphirix and eventually they had an egg. He was terrified that because both of them had the syndrome that the cub would most likely have it, he couldn't bear the thought and left his mate and the egg. 

 

His personality drastically changed as he got older and he became more depressed as his sphirix further melted away. The pain is worse and causes him to feel exhausted. The only times he is 'happy' is when he is dreaming..because then he can dream of the times his sphirix was whole. When he is not being checked up upon by Helpers he is usually carving what his sphirix looked like healthy on the walls near him with his claws.
