Ryuu Arashi
Legacy Name: Ryuu Arashi

___________________________________
Ryuu always had a love for thunderstorms and rainbows. Many a rainy day was spent at the entrance of his cave so he could smell the rainy air and wait for the moment when that perfect rainbow would appear. So when he died an old man he wasn't too surprised to be greeted by the elder spirits. His love for the elements made him the perfect new Rain Spirit. He accepted his new post with such childlike enthusiasm, many of the other spirits mistook him for a young dragon. Now the second oldest, yet most playful of all the spirits, Ryuu greets his daily routine with growing joy. With clouds of whirling storms at his feet, and a massive rainbow at his tail, he heralds in massive storms, yet only leaves a beautiful rainbow in his wake. Under his watchful eye, no one has ever enjoyed a rainy day as much as they do now.

Ryuu has often been caught frolicking with the rain clouds and even been known to wonder of for hours to splash in the rain puddles. His renewed vitality has brought out a side of him not seen since his whelp days and his wild behavior has been known to get on the bad side of a few spirits. Most notable would be that of Julis. Though one of the youngest of all the spirits, Julis tends to be the most stuck up and that just seems to fuel Ryuu's actions. It is not uncommon for Ryuu to conjure up a storm right above Julis head effectively putting out her raging fires, only for them to be reborn with vigor. Though others appreciate and even enjoy Ryuu's spontaneity. Shyron, the spirit of the night sky, can often be found playing along side Ryuu in the rain clouds. It was her who enchanted up a baby cloud named Nimbus for Ryuu to play with, much to Julis dismay. What was meant to help distract Ryuu from tormenting Julis only fueled the fire so to speak. Nimbus is now the leading cause of Julis' stress.

Old and wise were statements Ryuu had heard far to often and while he was often amused by men in the old days trying to slay him for his golden pelt, he grew bored of that too. As he aged into what was considered old even by dragon standards, he found it hard to fill his time with meaning. It wasn't uncommon for him to lay aimlessly for days at the mouth of his cave staring off into nothing. Soon, on one particularly stormy day, he began to fear he would die a meaningless death in some musty old cave. Then, as if by some miracle, the storm began to part, and a beam of light broke through the clouds birthing a large brilliant rainbow. He couldn't begin to count the number of rainbows he had seen in his time, but at that moment it was like everything fell into place. In that rainbow he saw all the beauty in the world reflected in those thousands of tiny droplets of water. Ryuu never could quite figure out why the site of storms and the rainbows that followed elected these feelings from him, but from that day on he chased every storm he could. He did this until his old body would no longer allow the long trips and so he settled into a cave were storms where a common occurrence. It was a beautiful stormy night when the old dragon passed away, the morning dawn shining off his golden fur. Little did he know, it was a new beginning, Art and Story by Me!
