Nebula | History and Key Events:

​

Nebula was born from stardust, which makes her a divine dragon. Divine dragons are rarely created by mating, but by phenomenons. She lived in a flight of other divine dragons, gods in the eyes of lower dragons. She lived there for the majority of her life, up until she was about 130 years old, which is just below dragon maturity. There wasn't really anything interesting for her in the flight. Most of the dragons were old and grumpy; they never did anything. She eventually got tired of living among the clouds with her flight. She started to sneak away to explore away from the flight. This got more regular and she traveled further each time. Of course, this was forbidden by the flight as they didn't want humans and dragons to meet, especially when the dragon is divine.

After finding out about Nebula's visits, the elders of her flight decided to warn her to stop. She did not obey this as she loved her adventures and being away from her boring flight. Because she wouldn't stop her adventures, she was banished from the flight. They couldn't risk her bringing humans back to their lair. Nebula wasn't too bothered about being banished, she never liked it there anyway. However, it meant that she couldn't become as powerful as she could; divine dragons only gain power when with other divine dragons. She already knew some of her powers, taught to her by the flight leader, and she was quite happy with them. The only tempting things was being able to time travel and possibly teleporting far distances. Just things to help her with her journeys. Now that she was banished, she had to find a new place to call home.

After five years of wandering and a few close encounters with humans, she finally chose a place to settle down. Deep in the bamboo forests of Japan, far away from humans. Her reason was because she liked hearing stories of Eastern dragons from the people she often followed, although they never noticed her. It was something she found interesting because she had never heard of an Eastern dragon before. She was also quite a small dragon, at the time she was only a juvenile, around ninety years old. She managed to stay hidden for another ten years.

And then they found her. A lone green dragon, Sage, wandered the forest. He was taller than her but slimmer. She watched him but he was quite clearly a Western dragon. Nebula hadn't seen another dragon in years. So she approached him by bounding towards him in excitement. The green dragon hissed and faced her, ready to defend himself. This scared her and made her back away slightly. She apologised and was warned not to approach strangers like that. He then asked what she was doing; she replied by telling him her life story. Sage felt sorry for her and asked if he would come home with him. He mentioned his human owner. Nebula was afraid of humans as her previous flight told her that they all wanted to wipe out dragons. The male reassured her that his human was different.

And then, a human emerged from the thick forest while they were distracted. The blue dragon noticed the new human and fled, hiding behind the male dragon. However, he simply laughed and flicked his tail. The girl had a 'weird wingless dragon thing' on her shoulder, which was Eira the green iguana. Curiously, the girl asked if Sage and Nebula were friends. Both of them agreed that they were. The white lizard jumped on Sage's back and looked Nebula in the eyes. The dragon questionned what the iguana was. She was shocked when the iguana spoke; not because she rudely stated that she was a green iguana, but because this was a talking lizard. Also, because this 'green' iguana was quite clearly white. Even more shocking was sting she felt on her nose after the iguana whipped Nebula with her tail. The human mounted Sage and Eira sat on his back. They offered Nebula a place on their home and took flight. After some hesitation, Nebula decided to join them. It was awfully lonely with no other dragons around.

They soon arrived at an island. It was invisible to Nebula at first. But the human used magic to allow Nebula to see and enter the island. It had a volcano in the middle, which looked dangerous. Although, they wouldn't be living here if it wasn't safe. Plus the human had magic. So she assumed it was safe. There were various habitats spread out across the island. A fairly small house was stood in a meadow. The four of them landed there. The girl was about to welcome Nebula, but did not know her name. This then made all of them realise that they had not introduced each other. After exchanging names and personal information, Sage took Nebula on a tour of the island. His lair was quite the sight. Surrounded by dense forest was a cave with holes in the ceiling. Rays of light would shine down onto his large oak tree that stood proud in the center. It was on an island, surrounded by a lake. Sturdy lilly-pads and stepping stones made a path to his tree. In the water circled his prized koi fish. It was currently the only dragon lair on the island since Sage was the only dragon. However, she was more than willing to share this lair.

As time passed by, Sage and Nebula bonded. Both have them had been separated from other dragons for so long that they felt the need to be so close to each other. Eventually, they decided to become mates. Their owner was delighted for this, as dragons were quite rare due to them being almost hunted to extinction. And besides, who wouldn't want to see some hatchlings? Oddly, Nebula bonded to Eira the iguana as well. She wasn't the kindest lizard but Nebula enjoyed her company. Although her whips, bites and scratches hurt, Eira was harmless to her; this made it funny sometimes. The dragon even started to call her 'little dragon' because she certainly had the attitude of the classic dragon.

After several more months, Nebula laid her first clutch of eggs; there was four of them. One of them was destroyed. A dog had managed to enter the island, but none knew that this dog was a dragon hunter. Nebula found her in the nest when she returned from gathering food. The dragon managed to defend her nest and chase the dog, later found to be Sparrow, off of the island. The remaining eggs managed to hatch without a problem. There was a white female with blue and green gradients, who was named Leilah. When she was old enough, she left the island.
