Description
P.S Ha'Zarra is a re-interpretation of a VERY antiquated character originally created by . A now dead account as far as I know, but perhaps one of my very first dA friends EVER.

EDIT: Have managed to color in Agnar! But that's about it.

----------------------------------

This is King Norbert's son.

And...his mother.

-------------------------------

50 years ago...King Norbert had been placed into an icy slumber by Lord Hypnos. The tyrant who ruled over the Elvish Empire.

With Norbert, another had also been placed to rest in ice: his ex-lover.

A mysterious lioness woman, who wielded the power of poison, alongside two fellows of hers. A Batling and a Rakshasa, if historical records are to be believed. Her name was Ha'Zarra. And little else is known of her.

King Norbert refuses to speak much of her background or association with him. Not out of ill will, but simply because he wants to "respect her last wishes". (Although he confided in Queen Annie about all of the details. She has taken it all in gracefully.)

He can't have hated Ha'Zarra, as he regards her name with wistfulness.

--------------------------------

30 years ago, King Norbert had been thawed out, and had done his part in toppling the Elvish Empire.

Yet when it had all been said and done, he returned to the place where she was imprisoned.

And he found her...dead. Withered away on the inside, her body having given every bit of life it had left to an egg in her womb.

An egg that had never hatched for 30 years, its only iota of warmth being akin to a single tiny ember, resting on a pile of ashes left over from a dying fire.

So, King Norbert took it upon himself to stoke flames for his precious, tiny ember.

--------------------------------

It is why he gathered so much knowledge on healing magic. Because through all of his efforts, his egg remained barely warm and alive for another 20 years.

--------------------------------

Then....after 50 years of waiting, and against all the odds...

It hatched.

To anyone else, the little whelped would have looked undead. Like a withered, blind grey husk of a dragon whelp, that stubbornly insisted on living.

To the golden dragon king...it was nothing less than the greatest treasure he had ever known.

---------------------------------

The birth of Agnar was not hailed with celebration or applause. King Norbert held no banquet, and made no announcement.

Nay. The first thing he did was hold his child. Let him feel his warmth, his light and his tears. And stoke that tiny ember into a flame with a stubborn will to live, grow and play.

-----------------------------------

Now, King Norbert had known that Ha'Zarra's heir not only survived, but was ready to LIVE.

Now...King Norbert was ready to show the world his greatest treasure.

A tiny silver ember that will one day shine brighter than his gold.
