Khan'Kavosh

Biography

"Many are called, but few are chosen..."

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The brightness of the bolt lit up the surrounding clouds and made the night seem as day if but for a moment. Kahn looked at the felt comforted by the storm but also insignificant. He gazed out his window longingly…wanting to go up and stand amongst the clouds. Suddenly a giant bolt struck down right in front of his abode. A loud crack emanated from the strike zone and the air fizzled like a crackling fire. His scales flicked up as the surrounding area filled with static charge. He ran down to the main floor and peered outside. Dragonhatchlings are not meant to be out during the lightning storms. While they are a spectacle and respected thing by the Bronze dragonborn, the storms are usually very dangerous and must be controlled by the high clerics.

Kahn looked around the corner and whipped out the door to go find the smoldering area where the lightning struck. As he approached the crater the smell of melted rock and glass pierced into his nostrils. He took a deep breath like it was the purest oxygen he had ever breathed…it was euphoric. The crater actually was crackling still, almost as if it was a small storm confined to the little area. He approached it desire. His eyes grew wide as he knelt down beside it. He saw to his surprise a jewel. He saw light flicker inside of it. He reached down to grab it. Before he could even touch it though an arc of electricity shot out into his hand and the hatchling felt his whole body burn. The pain was immense, no, much worse. It was unbearable. He saw and felt everything burn before him, but not in flame, it burned from the power of electricity. Being cooked from the inside out and trees exploded from the lightning running through them. Kahn saw oceans of creatures die when impossibly huge bolts of lightning struck them. Then in the final instance he saw the great beyond. He saw the creation of worlds, forged from the power of lightning. He saw…life…given to desolate planets devoid of any kind of living creature. Suddenly the images raced out of his mind and Kahn fell backwards to the sandy ground. Kahn opened his eyes and took a panicked breath as if the breath was his first he had ever taken. The jewel was in his had still, the lightning still bouncing around in it. Kahn felt different though. He looked up his arms and saw that underneath his bronze scales was a glowing teal light. His body was surging with a power gifted to him from beyond. As he stood there, perplexed, he felt a sudden burning that reminded him of the pain of the vision he had just had. He let out a roar as the air in front of him crackled and a giant pillar of lightning exploded from his mouth. He stood shocked, shocked too much to notice the pain that endured after his breath. He fell to his knees coughing. When Kahn looked up after regaining his repose he saw talon feet. His eyes approached the Dragonborn’s eyes who was in front of him. “You have been chosen by Talos, scaled one. You must come with me.” Kahn looked to him in puzzlement, “but my mother and father…” The dragonborn looked back at him and said sternly, “you have been bound to Talos. You cannot deny this gift. Your body and soul are a part of him now. Deny Talos and he will tear you apart.”

Kahn looked up but remembered the terrible pain from the visions and his breath. In an exhausted voice he said, “then what choice do I have?” and walked with the dragonborn off into the night.
