One day, Persephone (no relation) was out for a walk, and passed by a lake. In a freak accident, she dropped her beloved scythe, and it fell beneath the water.
Before she could figure out what to do, a beautiful nymph broke the surface, holding an almost equally beautiful scythe made of solid silver, and asked, "Did you drop this into the lake?"
"Er, no," replied Persephone. "Tha' ain' mine."
The nymph dropped back below the water, and returned, this time holding a scythe made of solid gold. "Is this what you dropped into the lake?"
"No." Said Persephone again. "Tha' ain' my scythe either."
The nymph dived down, and on her third ascent, she was carrying a wooden scythe. "Is this what you dropped into the lake."
"Yeah!" Persephone smiled, "Tha's my scythe alrigh'!"
The nymph handed her the scythe, and said "In reward for your honesty, you may also have the silver scythe and the gold scythe."
"Oh." Persephone paused for a moment. "It really weren'- I mean, tha's very generous of ya, for sure, bu'..."
The nymph was puzzled. "What's the matter?"
"Well i's just tha'... I'm guessin' you don' ten' a do much farmin', wha' with livin' in a lake an' all, bu' gol' an' silver, they don' really keep an edge very well. Wouldn' las' very long. An', there's a reason the handle ten's a' be made a' wood. Those both look really 'eavy. Try and swing them through 'arvest an' you'll just do your back in."
"That's..." The nymph was somewhat taken aback. "What if you sold them, instead?"
"Don' think I know anyone 'oo'd wan' a' buy either of 'em. For the reasons I ou'line'."
"What about selling them to someone with a lot of money?"
"In my experience, people with a lo' o' money don' ten' a' 'ave much use for scythes, golden or otherwise. An' if they did, I'd imagine they'd be lookin' to buy a really goo' one. Y'know, made ou' a' steel or summi'. Maybe wi' some magic on it too. If anythin', I figure you'd wanna sell 'em to someone 'oo barely 'ad any money, since they'd be the ones lookin' for summit cheap. 'Cept o' course, you wouldn't get much from 'em, 'cause if they could afford a goo' price, they'd buy a proper scythe instead."
"Um." The nymph was fairly certain that wasn't how this was supposed to go, but was having trouble deciphering Persephone's accent to actually pick at the logic behind i'. It. (It was slightly infectious.) "Maybe you could... Sell it to someone who wants to show off how much money they have?"
"That don' make sense. You can't show off 'ow much money you 'ave by spendin' it. Tha's like tryin' a' show off 'ow much food you 'ave by eatin' it. If you do that, you ain' got it anymore."
"But- but they're literally worth their weight in gold and silver!"
"Well, sure. Bu', if someone was lookin' a' buy 'em for tha', they already 'ave their weigh' in gol' 'n' silver in coins. An, unlike coins, you can' spend' a scythe on anythin' tha's worth less than' the scythe. You try an' buy some brea' with it, an' you'll get so much it'll go mouldy afore you can eat a few loaves. If the baker even 'as tha' many. Whereas wit' coins, you can jus' spen' a few o' them, and keep th' res' for summi' else. I guess ya' coul' try cuttin' them int'a pieces, but it tha' would be a hassle, an' there'd be th' cos' of the saws you'd ruin... In gen'ral there's a reason we ten' a use coins as coins instea' a' scythes."
"I really just thought that- I mean, I've had these two scythes lying around the the lake since I moved in, and then someone finally comes along and drops a normal scythe in, and I thought it would make you happy, and I didn't expect it would be all this!" It was a bit difficult to tell, but the nymph's eyes seemed to be getting slightly more moist than normal, even by the standards of someone who spends nearly all of their time underwater.
"Aw, I'm sorry lass. Really, it was pro'er nice o' ya to ge' me back my scythe! I really do apprecia'e tha'!"
The nymph sniffled. "But you're still stuck with a pair of metal scythes you can't do anything with."
Persephone thought for a moment. Then she said "Ah, I 'ave an idea. 'Ere,-" She held up the silver scythe. "Was this th' scythe you gave me?"
"Erm, yes?" said the nymph, distracted for a moment from her sadness.
Persephone held up the golden scythe. "Was this th' scythe you gave me?"
"Also yes?"
"As a rewar' f'r y'r 'onesty, you may keep both th' silver and the gol' scythes." Persephone handed the scythes back to the nymph, who slowly began to sink under their combined weight.
"But what will I do with them?"
"Well, maybe if you spo' someone wal'in' past, y' could ask 'em if they want a scythe. I don't think you 'ave to wai' for someone 'a drop anythin' in. Jus', y'know, give 'em away."
"I cannot help but feel-" The nymph bubbled as her mouth slipped below the waterline. "That this was all a waste of time."
"Nah." Said Persepone. "Mee' a new person, consi'er differen' perspec'ives on things. I's jus' wha' life is, all in all." Persephone smiled, and went on her way.
The nymph spent some time pondering economics, having rarely had a need to before. She also resolved to try and use as few apostrophes as possible, if only to give the poor piece of punctuation a period of respite.
Discerning the moral of this tale, despite the magnitude of its self-evidence, is left as an exercise for the reader

Born on the Cloudsong and apprenticed in the Starwood strand, Avashya is a fearless dragon whose speciality is in gentle, compassionate magic that revels in beauty. Kind and soft-spoken, she is largely found in her chamber condensing and analysing old manuscripts on the subject of alchemy for the purposes of making toys and trinkets for the hatchlings.
Just fancied sharing my Gorl. she doesn't have a lore story of her own yet.
I gave Avashya chrysocolla and I am so happy, she was my first attempt at really trying to get a 'designer' dragon. I tried to hunt down her exact colours and genes about eight years ago, originally she was poison and I think Chrysocolla suits her so well. Its a lot softer but still whimsical and colourful.
I also just renamed her because I named her after a magic the gathering character, which for various reasons brings back bad memories so I gave her the new name Avashya...
Avaśyā (अवश्या).—[ava-śyai ka] 1) Hoar-frost, fog or mist. 2) An independent woman.

The Cloudsong Windsrunners
“The nomadic windrunners of the Windswept Plateau are both traders and sages who travel on the great winds, bringing with them the spices and cloths, medicines, and most importantly music, from strange and faraway places.“
The Windsrunners are a trade guild from the Cloudsong Reaches that makes up a core component of the inter-flight trade network across the Sea of a Thousand Currents. The main trade path generally follows the dual jet streams across the continent, allowing greater speed and efficiency- but each individual runner will chart parallel or concurrent routes to areas located farther out of the way. The Windsrunner couriers deal in tangible goods, which they may buy or sell themselves or on behalf of clients in other places. They also carry messages, mail, news and gossip- and most often songs, which they trade and barter amongst themselves and with others.
Originally, the Windsrunners were a single nomadic courier clan, but the Windsrunners have since expanded to include a multitude of clans from the wind flight and act as a trade and courier service, a news network, and a cultural ambassador, exchanging goods and songs from flight to flight, taking messages and delivering news to far-removed areas of Sornieth. The decentralization of the Windsrunners as an organization means that they can act as more-or-less neutral parties across flight and clan divides. They must adhere to an internal code which dictates matters of trade, travel and diplomacy, as well as a central tenet of the vocation: Windsrunners are known for exchanging songs and stories, spreading them far and wide in their travels. They often come bedecked in bells or chimes, an instrument on the back or tied into their loosely draped garments for safekeeping.
While apprentices aren't selected for flying capabilities or musical skill, the nature of the Windsrunners means that only dragons who have exceptional talents or interest in either usually apply. A Windsrunner can be expected to spend a majority of time aloft, sometimes with urgent timelines, and very little rest in between. Upon arrival they're expected to adhere to a chivalric code of diplomacy and occasionally perform duties as bardic apostles of the Windsinger, playing or singing or putting on plays. Because of this Windsrunners tend to be energetic and gregarious, agile fliers and accomplished forecasters, and talented with voice or instrument.
New couriers generally spend a vocational period of several years travelling after completing their apprenticeships, during which they are prohibited from selling or trading goods. In running messages and deliveries, they are meant to strengthen their ties to the communities relying on them for news and service. It's also during this time that those inclined to a particular area will settle into their route.
It's customary to tip with a song, preferably a local one, to be carried on to other faraway places.

basic non-spoilery oc info :]
mistyleaf (she/her) : my first ever oc and one of the main protagonists of the story, silence of the stars, along with her two siblings amberheart and darkwing. her mother is shadeheart, her father is darkstar, and her adopted mother is alderstar, who took in the three kits after shadeheart's death. her mate is sedgepelt and they have 2 kits together, willowshade and hawkeyes. she's quiet and reserved and is heavily affected by shadeheart's disappearance and death. but dont worry she gets better :]
amberheart (she/her) : my 2nd ever oc! one of the other protags of the story. she's a sister to mistyleaf and darkwing, and is much more outgoing and extroverted than her siblings. but she too was affected by shadeheart's death and had frequent mood swings and outbursts because of it, but eventually she came to terms with her grief and accepted that thats just . how it be. she does also have a mate named silverfoot and they have 3 kits togther, ashflake, dappleleaf, and cloudsong :]
darkwing (he/him) : ah. the scrungliest of the three. when he was a kit he never ever left shadeheart's side, while alderstar was playing with mistykit and amberkit, darkkit would sit beside shadeheart while she rested and would keep her company, often chattering to her about whatever had been on his mind. his father darkstar, however, wanted to take darkkit back to shadowclan, and while shadeheart initially refused darkstar threatened her and her clan so she eventually gave in. darkkit was confused when shadeheart left camp with him, leaving his siblings behind. shadeheart took them to a place but quickly turned back around and began to run towards the twolegplace before she was chased down by darkstar and. well. thrown into the gorge. and darkkit saw it all. darkstar, without a word to his son who just witnessed his mother's death, took him to shadowclan and told him "dovetail is your new mother. you never knew anyone named shadeheart, you never knew anyone named mistykit or amberkit, and we never talk about what happened back there. okay?" before giving him to dovetail who became his adopted mother. he would have frequent nightmares about the event but over time he did forget about shadeheart and his siblings, but still kept having the nightmares. eventually, however, darkpaw escaped shadowclan during the great storm and quietly joined thunderclan where he reunited with his sisters and the three of them got their warrior names. he has a mate named heatherheart and 2 kits with her, darkfeather and stormheart.
meadowmoon (she/it) : meadowmoon is the daughter of dovetail and. Someone Else. dovetail had two kits before meadowmoon : flameheart and lightspeckle, with another mate who is now deceased, flickerheart. the two were nearing their apprentice ages when dovetail was nursing darkkit and when he became an apprentice she became pregnant again and had meadowkit. fearing for her life after finding out that darkstar was a Murderer, she fled to windclan with flamepaw and lightpaw where she gave birth to meadowkit. meadowkit was shy, quiet, and clung to dovetail, rarely ever leaving her side. though meadowkit grew up alongside a litter of older kits, named spottedkit, smokekit, and stonekit. she became quick friends with spottedkit and the two formed a lifelong friendship. i cant say much about her without spoiling some stuff but lets just say something something starclan shenanigans somthing something . also she's a medicine cat but her mentor is bad and again don twanna spoil much but lets jus say her mentor gets exiled while she's an apprentice n shes like <:(. lol
spottedcloud (she/her) : born to fawnberry and featherstep of windclan alongside her siblings, smokefur and stonemask. she's of riverclan descent as her father featherstep is half windclan half riverclan. neat! spottedkit and her siblings would frequently get into trouble - they were never given any harsh punishments but they'd attempt to get out of camp from time to time and would sneak out of the nursery and would get into ALL sorts of trouble. that is until dovetail of shadowclan very suddenly joined windclan and had a daughter and two older apprentice-aged kits with her. spottedkit and her siblings were about to be apprenticed and while smokekit and stonekit did become apprentices, spottedkit decided to stay behind and become a friend to meadowkit, as she was the only kit inthe nursery at the time. spottedkit toned down her mischievousness a bit with meadowkit and wasn't as reckless with her, taking her around camp and showing her around. spotty and meadow both became apprentcies, though meadowpaw became a med cat apprentice and spotty a warrior apprentice. again cant really say much about her without spoiling stuff but lets just say something something dark forest something something starclan somthing something. yeah :)
gonna rb this with more characters as i think 5 is a bit much if this is how long a post like this is gonna be JKSKJLLKJG
