Sacrifice-Born ==

The dragon kings feel that competition is a part of their nature, and some of their competition takes on unusual forms. One such striving is the Blessed Mother's Feast, a competition held annually among the southwestern dragon kings to see who has the most impressive or valuable heart to sacrifice to Lyeeka. Most often, the winner is a great creature of the southern wyld, or a behemoth or demon, or some great dragon king themselves brought low in defeat. Sacrifice Born, though, was the most impressive of those hearts raised, and as such managed to evade the sacrifice. Constructed from a small dragon-like behemoth in the south, the token of a powerful demense, and the hearts of four dragonbloods, the Sacrifice Born resembles the Desert Basilisk, although far more powerful. It is permanently bonded to /TakeshiDaialla, who shares a portion of its essence.

Comments

An acrobatic animated disembodied heart? Now I've seen everything! (I assume that the "hearts raised" are living creatures that haven't been eviscerated yet, but the text reads as though it's just their extracted hearts that have been brought to the competition.) - Quendalon

Oh, this is a first draft that I appear to have failed to minor edit. It is mostly a desert basilisk (CotW). I'll make it make sense by the time it's done. - TheHoverpope
