“Of course, Lucas makes me happy, and I’m sure being around him makes him just as gleeful. It was during the Gnasty situation that we bonded, also, yeah–we probably would’ve all gotten along.” 

Halvor grabbed their wrist, pulling it their hands away from their arms, dragon claws could puncture scales easily, they all acted tough at one point but, he’d stare right into Gunnar’s eyes, giving them a warm smile, they were tough but that didn’t mean they were allowed to suck up all those emotions, it was natural, they were allowed to be like this. 

Halvor especially was like this all the way up to the Gnasty Gnorc invasion, the crystalizing had messed with the mental stability of many dragons, and had caused many to switch from their prior demeanors, Halvor especially, who became very vocal in his emotions, it wasn’t healthy at all to force in emotions like this, and, it was a very personal thing.

“Gunnar—please, just let it all out, we may be Peace Keepers but forcing emotions in isn’t healthy.” 

[peacekeepergunnar]

He was glad that Halvor was there to stop him from hurting himself even more. Heaven knows that he was guilty of doing it many times, the aging scars on his arms and wrists were constant reminders of the heavy pain he carried in his heart.

Seeing Halvor’s smile, however, did bring him some comfort, if only for a moment. 

Gunnar’s eye was bloodshot from holding back his tears, and he covered his face with his hand. His sobs were stifled, as he tried to keep his emotions under check. But it wasn’t long before the dragon broke down entirely, the pain tearing from his throat in the form of a deafening roar that shattered the silence in the canyon. Finally, he slumped down, burying his face against Halvor’s chest and collapsed. “S-She ... she’s suppose’ta be here, Halvor. Its because o’those fucking Gnorcs tha’ she’s gone. R-Raine ... gave up her life ‘fer our land. An’ I wasn’ man enough ‘ta let’cha all meet her. Its ... fucking killing me.”

“W-What? Y-You…you’re a father, Gunnar? That’s…interesting, but, how’d you get one? I haven’t seen a female dragon in the dragon realms in forever, maybe I’m just…not looking.” 

This wasn’t a fact that Halvor wasn’t seeing in the first place, Gunnar had an egg? I mean, there’s been tons of eggs in the Dragon Realm over time, but, Halvor hadn’t seen a female dragon in this realm in years, there were a couple here and there but, Halvor was never interested, saying he had Lucas as a boyfriend…and–soon to be husband, Halvor was actually planning on the ring during this same time period. 

But Gunnar being a father? That was…insane, but, it was understandable, Halvor didn’t think it was impossible, but, this was something the Peace Keeper couldn’t tell anyone else, but, he thought it was his turn to speak about his secret, well, a few dragons knew of his relationship, but, Lucas had agreed beforehand with this, so Halvor would bluntly speak, looking away slightly to blush.

“I’m dating Lucas. We’ve been dating for a few years now, and, we’re slowly coming out to others.” 

[peacekeepergunnar]

“I know, I know ... surprisin’ huh?” He grinned, puffing out his chest with pride. “I met Raine many years ago ... we were gonna come out an’ tell everyone, but  ... after th’ Gnorcs showed up an’ caused trouble ... messed up our land here ... “ He got silent then. All of his buried emotions wanted to flood out, but he dug his claws into his arms to keep his mind distracted. It took him a few minutes to speak again, the feeling having passed. “... She was really somethin’ special. Could make plants an’ flowers bloom jus’ by steppin’ on th’ ground. Tha’s why m’cave was always so nice. I think ya an’ the guys would’a liked her.” Hearing Halvor’s news, he quickly looked back up at him, wide-eyed. 

“Y’serious?! No wonder ye always show up all blushin’ an’ with a smile. He’s lucky ... y’both are!” 

[nihoneshi]

“Go ahead, we–all have our secrets, I promise I won’t tell anyone, if…you don’t tell anyone of mine.” 

Until the secret was revealed to everyone, Halvor wanted to slowly bring in the reality that he was in a tight relationship with Lucas, also a Magic Crafter, who would be in the Peace Keeper’s domain in just a few hours to troubleshoot with the others on dissolving all this contaminated tar, it was their shot to begin anew on getting their world to be…well, beautiful, the oasis Halvor had in mind.

Halvor wanted Gunnar to know, despite their nature, Gunnar was chill, he was very gentle, he trusted him more than anyone else, albeit Titan and a few others, but still, Gunnar was still up there on that list of Dragons he wouldn’t mind spilling all his secrets to.

[peacekeepergunnar]

“... Alrigh’. Its a deal.” He patted Halvor’s shoulder. “Ya secret’s gonna be safe wit’ me, don’tcha worry.” He didn’t trust many in the Peacekeepers. Sure, they were all family, but ... they weren’t supposed to be soft. He had an image to keep up.   Gunnar gestured for his friend to follow, and when they got closer to a small clearing with a large flowering cactus, he stopped. Gunnar hunkered down on his fours, nudging away at some dirt to reveal a rose-coloured egg covered in an old blanket. “... Before ‘ye say anythin’ ... a fairy didn’ bring it ‘ta me. It belongs ‘ta me.”

[nihoneshi]

“Are you…alright, Gunnar? Is there something wrong, you’re just..talking to yourself, you—aren’t yourself.”

Halvor sighed, wrapping his arm around Gunnar’s shoulders, rubbing their back, what was suddenly up with them, even he couldn’t understand, especially with all the experience with helping with Lucas all the time with his issues, but this?—this was on a whole ‘nother level, they were..talking to someone that really wasn’t there, his posture changed, everything felt off, but, Halvor tried to ignore it. 

They moved all the buckets and barrels away from the two of them before hugging Gunnar, what ever they were feeling, Halvor felt like he had to give them a bit of comfort in these times, even if it was the beginning of this large project, Halvor was stubborn, he was confident this world of theirs would be lush and beautiful.

“You don’t have to apologize, it was a rash decision but a lot of us would’ve done the same thing.”

[peacekeepergunnar]

 He wasn’t alright. He kept secrets from his fellow Peacekeepers. And, while they weren’t necessarily bad ones, they were still far too delicate for him to talk about openly. Gunnar blinked back a tear, keeping his head down. Halvor’s comfort was appreciated, and he relaxed. Swallowing all emotions down, he finally looked up with a small grin. “... Thanks, I … really appreciate it. I guess I got a lil’ too … wrapped up in th’ idea o’a beautiful place… “ He smiled a little. “... I think I can trust ‘ye with a lil’ secret. But y’can’t let th’ others know.”

[nihoneshi]

“G-Gunnar! There’s a more efficient way of doing this that doesn’t include causing yourself this much pain! I…know we’re Peace Keepers but, that tar is definitely not a young dragon’s flame.” 

Halvor was right, there was efficiency without injury to be made with these creeks, hooking up his tail to one of the larger steel barrels, as well as holding one in his hands, scooping up an entire containers worth with both in quick succession, faster than Gunnar absolutely diving in the tar, and…less dangerous, they both knew the tar was toxic but, it seemed like Gunnar didn’t care.

In other words, it was mindless recklessness, and Halvor wasn’t all for it, placing the barrels to the side, numerous steel barrels that Halvor had brought over were now slowly starting to be replaced by ones filled with tar, and soon, the Magic Crafters would completely dissolve said tar with their magic, at least then they could completely get rid of all of the tar in the Peace Keepers world instead of scooping it out.

“Though, I will be the one to take out the source, once the ‘Crafters get here.” 

[peacekeepergunnar]

He took the remaining barrels off, glancing down for a moment. The dragon seemed to be contemplating on doing it again, when small green vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and held him firmly in place. Gunnar’s eye widened. “Raine? … Is tha’ you?” The vines tightened a little, and a gentle breeze blew by. He turned to the tar-filled barrels, realization hitting him. Because of the contamination, nature simply could not grow here. He wanted to shout joyously, but Halvor was still standing there … he cleared his throat, looking back down. The leaves on the vines rustled slightly, as if speaking to him. “... Apologize? Aw, ya know I hate doin’ that! But … if it’ll make ye happy.” He knelt down then, hand softly caressing the ground and smiling. When he removed his hand,  there were small sprouts of grass, and the vines disappeared. He rubbed the back of his neck. “Halvor? Sorry fer … yanno. Worryin’ ya. I shouldn’t have done what I did.”

[nihoneshi]

“Egh…I wouldn’t recommend doing that, we’ll need to do physical labor but, maybe with barrels and large buckets? Until the others arrive it may just have to be slow. “

Halvor cringed seeing Gunnar in even the slightest amount of pain, thankfully there were empty metal barrels nearby the young Peace Keeper could use to scoop a large amount of it up, of course, this would be a hell of a lot of labor until the Magic Crafters could come over, and these barrels were large, using a smaller bucket to scoop up some to dump in their. 

“This is going to take a long time but, until the others get back with help this will have to do, if you’re up for it. That Volcano’s got to go, we don’t need this tar anymore.” 

They didn’t need it in the first place, this was that Gnorc’s doing, how did they even change the original substance to this purple tar anyway? Halvor looked over at Gunnar with that sigh, were they alright? Maybe it would be best not to bring up what they said about them for now, it was better to look at a strategy on getting rid of the source.

[peacekeepergunnar]

He waved a hand in dismissal, peering over his shoulder with a widespread grin.  “Psh, Halvor. Did’ja ferget jus’ how much I can handle pain? This feels jus’ like a baby dragon’s fire … nothin’ to it!”  Of course, he was lying. The dragon’s hands were starting to blister, but he quickly placed them in the creek to scoop out another handful. This would take too long … and he wasn’t sure if he could continue doing it this way. Well, he could. 

But, he was impatient. Gunnar took off his pendant, eyepatch and the leather straps he kept ‘round his waist, placing them off to the side.   Pushing the half-full barrel to the side with his tail, he took two empty barrels and tied them to his shoulders, one around his neck and two onto his tail.  He took a single step forward, and plunged into the depths of the creek. Keeping his nostrils and mouth closed, he gathered what he could in the barrels before flying straight up and out of the poison with steam rolling off his body. “... Ya wanna do th’ honors an’ break the volcano? I wanna see what’cha can do with tha’ batterin’ ram o’yers!”

[peacekeepergunnar]

[ x ] @nihoneshi He nodded, folding his arms over his chest with a widespread grin. The dragon was eager to help clean up their realm. “... Alrigh’ let’s see the damage.” Gunnar walked over to the edge where the purple tar oozed and hit the side of the cliffs. 

“... So, no physical labor huh? We can’t jus’ ... go in an’ pull it out? ... Or can we ... ?” He steps over to the small creek, dipping his clawed hands in and grimacing. It burned. A lot. But, he managed to pull some out. “... If Raine were here, she could ... probably purify it ... or somethin’. I mean, she was a Magic Crafter.“ He looked down, sighing and shaking his head. Now wasn’t the time to think about what could have been. He plopped the tar inside one of the metal containment chambers he brought over. “... Least I can get this lil’ creek cleaned out, huh? Then we can demolish that mini volcano so it can’t produce more of this gunk.”

Event: Canyon Oasis

Hey guys, I’m here with my first ever event for the Spyro community, anyone can join the event, and I can’t wait for everyone to join in. 

What is this event you may ask? Well, Canyon Oasis is a large event where the Dragons come around to make the Peace Keeper’s domain more of an Oasis than its current state, making it into a lush oasis in the process, that means during this event you can state other roleplay’s achievements in this event of making the Peace Keeper’s domain beautiful, this event does NOT have a end date, I’m planning for it to last as long as the community wishes it to last, or at least until their domain is looking the way they want. 

After this event is over, if it does end, the design change to the domain shall forever stay in my canon, and I encourage others to add it into their canon as well!

I’ve been thinking about the first few Spyro games. All of the adult dragons are bipedal while Spyro and other young dragons are quadrupeds. Which implies that dragons go from quadruped to biped eventually, but how does that work? Is Spyro going to learn to walk on two legs gradually? Or does it happen suddenly? Like are the dragon dads gonna be minding their business when Spyro just suddenly comes in and stands in the doorway like this:

(first time drawing Lindar and second time drawing Gnasty)

[reignorcted-deactivated20240427]

(from @peacekeepergunnar! ) The large dragon stared down at the Gnorc Leader, and sighed deeply. "Alrigh', I'm here jus' to let'cha know that ... if ya, or any of yer fellow gnorcs want to come by and visit Kaida, I won't chase ya off. I know she makes ya food an' stuff, so ... ya ain't gotta be so scared 'ta show up." He hunkered down, tapping a rough claw onto Gnasty's chest. "But don' go hurting her! She ain't the fightin' type."

@peacekeepergunnar

Gnasty glared back at the dragon as soon as he approached him. The Gnorc’s hatred for dragons was certainly rooted deep in his past, and as much as Gnasty swore the scaly cats with wings off, he hated Kaida… a significant amount LESS than the others. So, he was willing to stomach listening to her father if it meant he could talk to one of the only dragons who didn’t treat him like dirt.

“ HAH, we weren’t scared of you anyways, DRAGON  !! …But, we’ll take that offer. Y’know, That dragon- Kaida I mean, she ain’t like the rest of you. She treats all us like family. …Somethin’ I didn’t think I could properly give my men. “ A few moments of silence passed before the Gnorc pointed at Gunnar.

“ As long as YOU don’t start nothin’, then WE won’t start nothin’ either! “ He returned his hand and crossed his arms, while retaining that glare towards the dragon. Hopefully his words came across well… as, semi-threatening as they were. “ WE CLEAR? “

[peacekeepergunnar]

He kept a straight face. Gunnar did find it mildly amusing that Gnasty would stick up for his men, even the more cowardly ones ... but, he had to admit that was something to admire. Gunnar was a little surprised to hear Gnasty open up like he did. 

And, he couldn’t be more proud to hear that Kaida was treating his men with the respect and kindness they wanted from the very beginning. He felt a little guilty for fighting with the Gnorcs all these years, but ... he wouldn’t dwell on it.  At least, not now. 

“... Yeah ... Kaida’s got a big heart fer such a little dragon... heck, she sure didn’ get it from me. ... I bet’cha if Raine were still here, ya’d like her too.” He smiled sadly, then patted the Gnorc’s shoulder. “... Right then! So, no startin’ fights ... from either o’ us. I guess this is a truce, huh?”

[peacekeepergunnar]

I should actually do something with Gunnar. :v

[peacekeepergunnar]

“... How cool would it be ‘ta have a pirate ship that ya can drive on land?”

[peacekeepergunnar]

“... What kinda goober forgets what th’ sun looks like.”
