#torikk

Tiakken and his family had been visiting another royal family in Dragonhome for an alliance. They’d been invited to one of the family’s shrines dedicated to the Earthshaker and the strongest earth warriors from their lineage. They’d been strictly instructed to not touch anything and yet when Tiakken was admiring one of the strange statues, Torikk pushed him into the artifact and suddenly stone was encrusting itself over his face, tail and legs. He yelled in horror, drawing the attention of everyone else. Offended and disgusted at the blatant defiance of the rules, they were kicked out of the shrine and the clan refused to align themselves with a clan that had no respect for others and their rules. Torikk ruined that alliance for them, though his parents blamed Tiakken and the pearlcatcher was left in his strange state. Nothing was ever done about it, his mother insisting that he was fine, though his father did worry, but evidently not enough to do something about it.
