[EDENVERSE|OUTCODE] Tuhinga et Faufaa : The threads of Life and the Reapers

Humanized Sonora by @kookukecartoons

This is mostly for fun bc a lot of her story (and the other Rest Stop 10 dragons) is deeply connected to the site mechanics and breed lore.

Sonora is a trans girl. She was born a guardian, to a father obsessed with tradition and legacy. His charge, and his father's charge, and his grandfather's charge were all the same: a dingy diner in the middle of the desert. Sonora would grow up, she would find her charge in the diner, and she would accept her destiny.

Except Sonora didn't want any of that. And so she ran off in the middle of the night, purchasing a silhouette scroll and a wildclaw scroll from a shifty stranger, and seizing control of her own identity. When she returns, she finds that the population of her entire hometown has vanished, leaving the diner abandoned. And so she must begrudgingly accept her fate as its keeper.

But things will probably change for her.

Right?

Cyrus says: "Setting and accomplishing goals is important, however small or insignificant they may seem."

Once upon a time, there was a town in the desert.

Except, I suppose, it was never really once, and not at any particular time. There will always be a town like it, you see. In any number of universes and realities, even in worlds without the concept of a town or a desert. It is a sacred place. A place which all living things will find themselves in, one way or another.

On the planet of Sornieth, this town is known by the opening bar of an ancient coatl hymn, its meaning lost to time. Those who cannot speak coatl, however, call it Rest Stop 10. This is not only considerably less noble but also misnomer-- this town could not be considered a rest stop on the way to anywhere at all.

You see, Rest Stop 10 is smack in the middle of the Tuhinga Desert. The Tuhinga Desert is a little bit of sand in the middle of a lot more sand, but it has its own name because it is very well-contained by a magnificent rock formations to the north, a marshy and humid oasis to the east, and a sheer drop into a canyon on the south. The west side is open, and so cartographers often draw a very mysterious and decidedly non-existent dotted line to show where the made-up concept of Tuhinga ends and the rest of the neutral zone begins.

And so Rest Stop 10 is quite a terrible rest stop, since there is no destination on the other side. All you will find are barriers until you just turn back the way you came. That could be a metaphor for something, but if it is… well, I couldn’t tell you.

Despite all of this, Rest Stop 10 is the permanent home of more than a few dragons. Or… I suppose it was home to a few dragons.

This is the story of the day the dragons disappeared.
