EMP-440: Flicker Moon

Flicker Moon and Snowflame Snowlin were twin sisters born in the Tailors Guild. They lived in a well ranked family, and they had anything they could wish for. The two played together every day, helping their parents around in their workshop. 

When they became old enough, the two  opened their own workshop, and had high hopes for life. It was all amazing until a strange male from the Herbalists guild started showing up. He grew close to Flicker Moon, and the two started meeting up quite often, and even leaving the house at night together. Snowflame was very worried, but she couldn't do anything, for her sister was free to live as she pleased. All Snowflame knew was that she would always be by Flicker's side, no matter what.

But that was soon to be challenged, for her sister decided one day that she and that male were going to join the hunters guild. Snowflame was shocked - they had so many plans together in the Tailors Guild! And yet her sister randomly decided to throw it all away, all just for that stallion they knew nothing about. And why the hunters guild of all? That was one of the most dangerous jobs to have - venturing out in the ever frozen North, roaming outside the Empire, in storms almost no grifix can live through!

Snowflame tried to change Flicker's mind, but she simply could not. So she decided to throw it all away, and follow her sister. She simply could not leave her alone to do such a dangerous job. And so the two young sisters became hunters, and they proved to be quite good at it, learning fast. 

A year or so in, Flick took her sister to her room, to show her something special: an egg. She was so excited about it, and Snowflame couldn't help it but be happy for her sister. Snowflame was going to become an aunt! She was so excited.

But not long after that, tragedy struck. Flicker and her mate left the Frozen Empire, telling the guards that they were on patrol. It was all a lie, patrols had to be of at least 5 grifix, 3 at worst. The two never returned, and even after hours of searching for them they couldn't be found. They left in the middle of a snowstorm, their tracks being covered too soon for them to be followed

Snowflame remained to take care of the egg, and raise the one who was born from it, Dust Blizzard. She loved Dust, but she was too scared to tell her about the past. Dust knows not who her parents are, but she cares not, for she is a child of all the hunters, and she was raised without a single tear. They are all her big family, and she never asked for who her real parents were.

Her sister's mate turned out to be the Hunter's Guild headmaster's child, so Dust was his granddaughter.
