Umbra

Vessel of Shadows Umbra

Umbra was the first mortal to be chosen by a deity. Before he hatched, he was given a deity's blessing. This forever changed his fate.
When he hatched, Umbra gave off a menacing aura. His scales were black instead of red and he had crimson eyes. He took a couple of steps out of his shell and fell asleep. His parents thought Umbra was sick, but he woke during the night. They entertained him until Umbra fell asleep. Soon, Umbra adapted to sleeping during the night.
After the next couple of years, Umbra felt estranged from his family. Instead of an affinity for fire, Umbra controlled darkness. He still had a resistance to fire, but that didn't make him feel better. His mother tried to comfort him, but it didn't work. His father tried training him, but Umbra didn't want training. He just wanted to feel accepted.
It didn't make it better that he didn't want to be a guardian dragon. To Umbra, it was giving up his freedom and to another being. So refused to become someone's guardian for as long as he lived.
When Umbra learned he was going to have a brother, he was indifferent. To him, it sounded like they were replacing a mistake. Before his brother hatched, his parents decided to name him Ember. When he was born, Ember gave off a powerful aura and went towards Umbra. He hugged him and smiled. Umbra felt an odd warmth. A warmth he hasn't felt in a long time. He couldn't help but love Ember after this. He swore to himself that he would always protect him.
Umbra would always play with Ember. He didn't mind entertaining him or teaching all he knows. But, Umbra still felt out of place. After a couple of years, Umbra left home to learn more about himself. His father understood his reasons, while his mother and Ember were devasted.
During his travels, he met the Yatagarasu clan and trained with them for two years. Here, he learned how to hone his skills. When his training was finish, he continued on his journey. This didn't last long, however. He settled down with the Boltons, a family that nursed him back to health. But things never stay easy for Umbra.
While on his journey, Umbra was keeping tabs on Ember. When he sensed Ember was in danger, Umbra teleported to him. Now Umbra is on a bigger adventure than even he realizes.
