The gypsies say the world began with a woman who lived among the trees, and followed the messages of the stars. Her name was the name of the Earth, and she was the first life, sister of the planet. Her hair was the color of the golden leaves in the canopy that mingled with the sky. Her eyes were the green of the grass that cradled her steps upon the earth. Where she went, buds blossomed up from her path, and these buds grew to become flowers, then saplings, and then more trees for her home. This was the Forest of Birth. It was the beginning of nature.
Next there was a man, not long after the woman first appeared on the Earth. His name was something never before heard of, but oft repeated afterward. His hair was the dark of a deep crater that had never seen the light. His eyes seemed to engulf light itself, showing nothing but blackness. Where he went, things grew older and shriveled and fell to the earth. They were ground until they became nothing but dirt themselves, and their nutrients fed the living plants. He loved the woman, and together they lived for a long time, knowing nothing else but their young world. But the man grew old when the woman did not. And then, like the plants, he withered away. But he did not become part of a new life. He was a Spirit. This was the beginning of death.
Before the man had died, he and the woman had given birth to a child. This child aged as his father did, but never died. He could return to his earlier forms if he wished, or change into his more withered ones. There was a progression. He was the creation of time.
Time went on, but these three would always look to the stars for messages from those that created the earth. The gypsies still look to the stars. But much else is different. Completely different. The Forest of Birth is nothing but a folk myth now. And death and time are anything but new. I didn’t know all of these stories when a certain bud was planted in the rubble of a limestone cavern in the second hottest desert of my home country of Rubato, the Ceguera que Quema (“The Blindness that Burns”—do we know how to name things for tourists, or what?) in the 21st century, CE. But I did know that plant was going to be possibly the most important factor in Rubato’s future, and maybe even that of my world. Gaia is the woman of the myth. And when she plants golden buds for you to take care of, you’d damn well better take notice.
Now, you’d think a bud that is a potential fountain of life energy would be self-watering, but this one apparently still needs a little help to get a drink. And until they invent the extension cord long enough for me to set up a sprinkler system out there, somehow this task has fallen to me. There was no ceremony, or fancy title, or bestowing of an ulra-special, super-important watering chalice or something. Just the knowledge that if I cared at all about my homeland’s future… I was gonna see to it that this thing was taken care of. Every single day. I got the sense that it wasn’t just the water this bud needed; human care was a big part of it. And human selflessness. Devotion. Because contained within that single bud was nectar capable of restoring a life, of healing any disease, any injury, of bringing back anyone from the brink of death. It was unspeakably precious, beyond measurable value. And it was right at your fingertips—all you had to do to possess that nectar was simply pluck the bud from the ground, and that was that. But once it was used once, it was gone, and gone for good. You had to use all of the nectar to achieve the effect, and after it was gone, the bud would die. There would be no sapling. No tree. No forest. If you wanted to regenerate the land, you had to wait, and deny temptation, and care for the plant until it grew into the golden forest just like the myth. Then it would become the Forest of Renewal.
I’m a selfish woman by nature. I’m pretty damn sure Gaia leaving this task for me to take or leave on my own choice was a test. Just as raising this bud or plucking it is a test. Just as coming out to the bloody desert every single day, or at least finding someone else trustworthy enough to do so, is a test. A continuous test, almost like a habit, or a ritual, that runs you down and tests your dedication every single time. A wear on your patience. Denial of gratification. Every single day, you go out there, thinking, “isn’t this enough? When is this thing going to grow? Would it really be so bad if I plucked it now? Is it enough time?” and every single time, you find yourself wondering how many more days you can bear making the trek out there, just to water one stupid plant. How don’t birds eat it? Isn’t she testing animals too? Seems wrong that it’s just us humans that are being called out.

Madrigal sisters and Avello mini-profiles
::The following still needs to be rewritten::
Name: Avello
Age: 4
Race: Dragon
Sex: Male
Eyes: A vivid, slightly yellowish green.
Weight: Several tons
Height: As large as a two-story house
Skills/Magic: Being a dragon, Avello is capable of flight and breathing fire, and has tough, steel-like scales, horns, teeth, and claws.
Appearance: Avello is an adolescent dragon with brilliant violet scales, short white cranial horns, and bright, curious green eyes. His wings are strong and graceful, and their span is longer than he is tall, making them one of his most striking of features. He usually has a hint of mischief on his face, and is very expressive for a reptile, as he was raised by a human and not by fellow dragons.
Personality: As one of the two living beings he first saw, Avello has developed a strong attachment to his owner Cadenza, and is often worried over her well-being. He hates to leave her side, content in following her like a baby duck does its mother, and when refused that option, can become fussy and a little rebellious. He’s accustomed to her attitude and unemotional way of showing care for him, and follows most of her orders without question. Towards others, he’s quiet and somewhat stand-offish, unless they give him a reason to behave otherwise.
"xD Yes, my teacher at the Dome, LEA, had her character Sileya saddle Cadenza with the responsibility of guarding and caring for an abandoned dragon egg (and later, the dragon that hatched from it.) Cadenza was grudging, as with many things, at first, but the little bugger started to grow on her. Avello, as she named him ("conqueror of the skies" in an old language, she explained then), is a purple dragon with yellow-green eyes and cream horns, who's grown darn fast, from a mischievous little runt to a big, oafish, well-meaning behemoth. He loves his momma like the dickens and enjoys dumpster diving for snacks, along with big cuts of slightly-cooked meat. x3
His speech is a mixture of natural dragon grunting, roaring, groans, etc. and his best attempts to mimic human sounds, as heard from his "mother" Cadenza. His most recognizable word is "morgh", for "mom" or "mommy". x3 Cadenza often treats him with tough love, and calls him various nicknames, like "lardbag", "tubs", etc. He likes being petted best between the horns, and doesn't know his own strength most of the time. His fire gets some of its heat from chemicals mixing in his moody tummy, but he seems to be able to digest most things, much of it junk.
He considers Cadenza his mother, without question, no matter how much you insist to him that a human could not have given birth to a dragon. It does not matter to him who produced his egg and left him. She raised him, from a baby, to his strange, eventful "puberty", and now into the big beast he is today, showing love in her own way, even during what was a rough time for her then, when she'd first gotten him (the big climax to her power struggles with her sisters, her eldest sister's death, adjusting to the Dome, mourning her first husband, mother's illness, etc.) He considers Kate and Jessi his sisters, and isn't sure what to think of his mommy's "mate", Rain, because he sees his kindness and gentleness as being "submissive". xD He registers his mother's more tough love as just a natural display of who is the matriarch in the family, the protector and provider. Tirry's dragon Laurana is also now like a sister to him, and a dear new friend.
He lives in Cadenza's huge backyard, behind the big new house she inherited when her old boyfriend Johnny Bones ascended to Heaven. He drinks water from tubs, hates wet weather (so the desert is great for him), and only lets Cadenza feed him much of the time, because she throws his food at him, like he likes. He likes catching it in his teeth. All in all, he's a curious, quirky, funny dragon. x3 She's had him for years now. He's a part of the family.

The Other Madrigal Sisters (profiles to be used as reference for "Her Rebellion" and future works):
Name: Algretta Madrigal
Age: 35
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Hair: Black, long, and straight. Tied up in a tight braid, with short, side-swept bangs that barely reach past her brows.
Eyes: Cerulean blue
Weight: 137 pounds
Height: 5’5 1/2”
Weapon: A metallic rod, with blue steel rings at the base of a pentagonal head.
Armor: None
Skills/Magic: Algretta specializes in water magic, but her true skills reside in the handling of machinery and other technology.
Staccato Burst Water- Hurls short, intensified bursts of pure water magic at an enemy.
Harmony- After chanting a spell (usually taking from 2-3 minutes), Algretta may call upon a spell from one of her other sisters. Strength of spell depends on proximity of other sisters.
Song of the Madrigal- A lyrical song written in Old Rubatoian for Cadenza and her four sisters by their mother Sonya, the song of the Madrigal is a chant that allows one sister in a desperate situation to bind the magic of another sister, or send her own power to that sister, whichever she chooses. Each sister has another that is their contrast, and is the one they have the power to bind; for Vivace with her fire, there is Algretta with water; for Luminari with light, there is Cadenza with shadow. Arietta with wind is their mother's contrast, for earth, and serves as a balance; when she sings the spell, whatever the other sisters may have changed is returned to normal, and powers are restored.
The spell has only been used once so far, by Cadenza, in Let's Start Anew, when she sang it to bind her sister Luminari's powers in order to purge the Spirit of Light from her. Algretta has yet to reveal her part in the song.
It is unknown what might have happened had all five sisters ever sung the song together, but with Vivace's death, it will never be learned.
Appearance: Algretta is the only one of the Madrigal sisters to wear glasses. She prefers to wear a thin, navy blue rimmed pair, with lenses that function like transitional lenses. Like all of her family, she has an olive complexion. She also wears mascara and blue eyeshadow on occasion.
Algretta wears a loose-fitting, blue cotton blouse, with dark blue buttons up the front, and a pair of navy blue trousers. Her pants are cinched at the waist by a gray utility belt filled with odds and ends used when tinkering with machinery. On her feet, she wears black slippers with a fish pattern embroidered in blue gemstones.
Personality: Of all the sisters left in Rubato, Algretta seems the least perturbed by the recent turn of effects, and maintains her cool, calculating demeanor and measured approach to life. She exalts logic over emotion, and has thusly remained the most stable person living in the Madrigal household.
Known Inventions:-Wormhole generator and tracker (as seen in "Reasons and Motives")
-Restorative elixir (as seen in "An Unexpected Reunion")
-Beeping internal tracking device (as seen in "An Unexpected Reunion")
-Shocker bracelet (as seen in "On the Sandy Streets")
-Temperature bracer (as seen in "Her Rebellion")
Name: Luminari Madrigal
Age: 32
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Hair: Black, shoulder-length, and very curly. Held back from face by a headband made of pink fabric.
Eyes: Deep green
Weight: 119 pounds
Height: 5’4 1/2”
Weapon: None, her sword being taken from her by Cadenza for use in her gunblade
Armor: None
Skills/Magic: Luminari specializes in light magic and is an amateur healer.
Staccato Burst Light- Hurls short, intensified bursts of pure light magic at an enemy.
Harmony- After chanting a spell (usually taking from 2-3 minutes), Luminari may call upon a spell from one of her other sisters. Strength of spell depends on proximity of other sisters.
Purify- When successful, heals most non-lethal wounds. Amount of energy consumed depends on severity of wound. Spell takes 8-10 minutes to complete.
Song of the Madrigal- A lyrical song written in Old Rubatoian for Cadenza and her four sisters by their mother Sonya, the song of the Madrigal is a chant that allows one sister in a desperate situation to bind the magic of another sister, or send her own power to that sister, whichever she chooses. Each sister has another that is their contrast, and is the one they have the power to bind; for Vivace with her fire, there is Algretta with water; for Luminari with light, there is Cadenza with shadow. Arietta with wind is their mother's contrast, for earth, and serves as a balance; when she sings the spell, whatever the other sisters may have changed is returned to normal, and powers are restored.
The spell has only been used once so far, by Cadenza, in Let's Start Anew, when she sang it to bind her sister Luminari's powers in order to purge the Spirit of Light from her. Luminari is identified in the song as "the light; the tempo; the one who gives energy to the song."
It is unknown what might have happened had all five sisters ever sung the song together, but with Vivace's death, it will never be learned.
Appearance: Luminari wears an ensemble consisting of a yellow, mid-length dress, silver chain belt, and pink, button-up shrug. She has an olive-complexion, and wears yellow eyeshadow and pink lipstick, along with matching pink pearl earrings and a necklace. As for shoes, Luminari wears a pair of pink, comfortable slippers, similar to Cadenza's old ones.
Personality: Luminari was utterly broken by the loss of her sister and idol, Vivace. While she tries to maintain a peaceful exterior, on the inside, she’s become an emotional wreck, and retains her unpredictability in her actions.

Like all of her other sisters, she has an olive-colored complexion. She also wears green eyeshadow, to go along with the green-theme of her outfit.
Personality: Arietta initially felt lost and confused without her sister Vivace’s commands, but is gradually beginning to think for herself and act independently. She’s also begun to be a source of solace for her distraught sister, Luminari, and her ill mother, Sonya.
