Wolves: warriors against the personification of destruction and corruption. This category includes a few odd entries that serve where there are no natural populations of wolves: the Hyenas and the Tasmanian Tigers.

Rats: warriors against the personification of order and stagnation

Spiders: no longer clear but I suspect they were originally warriors against the personification of chaos and creation. They now have three major camps reflecting and serving the three separate personifications. This internal strife feeds into their cannibalistic nature.

Ravens: messengers and scouts by day

Bats: messengers and scouts by night

Big Cats: keepers of secrets. The cats and the scouts do not mesh.

Bears: healers

Coyotes: teachers, which they most commonly do via near-lethal tricks Looney Tunes style. They will Bugs Bunny you within an inch of your life and if you haven't learned your lesson they'll close the final gap. They will Fudd you up.

Foxes: were told they would only be given a task when the final age had dawned and were otherwise unrestricted. In this way they can be seen as Gaea's freedom. In the final game supplement of the series they were given their purpose: thieves.

Crocodiles: memory

Sharks: survival

Serpents: Judges. When other changers stray from their purpose the serpents go on the hunt. So I ask, why did the wolves get away with so many aggressions against the other breeds? The serpents really fell down on the job there.

Pigs: cleansers of the land, of Gaea herself

Cows: (aurochs, really, cow megafauna) matchmakers between the changers and their carrier kin. Changers usually cannot have healthy offspring with their own kind.

*Stella and Chargon have been playing games this entire time. Though every time they played a new game Stella was quiet. It was kinda awkward. And what’s more Chargon could feel the negativity coming off Stella. He didn’t need to be magic to know.*

*Chargon quietly stared at Stella, wondering if he should do something to ease the negativity. He slowly reached his hand out to touch them.*

*Stella flinched from the touch on their shoulder, but they looked at him calmly*

*Stella turns back to the screen and keeps playing*

*They were obviously lying*

*Stella turns away with a pouty face*

*Stella leans further away from him*

*Stella whines annoyed as he pesters more*

*As Chargon pesters more….. They snap… Standing up… and swing their arm*

*The fractures… The memories… Though he didn’t know… They were Stella’s own…*

*Chargon stumbles backwards, surprised by the suddenness of Stella's anger. He blinks for a moment, pondering on how he should respond. Somehow, it reminded him of how he treated Asriel. Lashing out when prodded about his past… That's when a thought came to mind.*

*The young dragon calmly walked back up to Stella, hugging them tightly in his grasp. Hopefully this would calm them down.*

*They had open their eyes as they feel his warm hug… their hair pin flickers yellow for a bit…. But goes back to gray as the fractures reform and repair themselves. Stella then pushes Chargon away*

*tears go down their face as they run off. Each step leaving a crack in reality footprint. As Chargon looks down… He felt much guilt… He thought the would… Perhaps he didn’t know what he thought about them…*

To be continued…
