About
A dragon slayer with a mysterious aura, Naida Stormweaver walks the line between reverence and destruction, seeking to understand the ancient beasts she hunts.
Backstory
Dragons whispered to Naida through the pulsing stone embedded in her palm, a parasitic gift that had saved her life when her village burned but cursed her to hear their ancient sorrows with every heartbeat. The stone, once her grandmother's eye before a dragon's claw claimed it, had somehow fused with Naida's flesh during the attack, creating a living bridge between hunter and hunted. Each dragon she tracks feels her presence through this unwilling bond, leading to battles that blur the line between combat and conversation, as she experiences their memories while they taste her grief. Her reclusive mentor taught her to weaponize this connection, but Naida has begun to suspect that she isn't hunting dragons at all—they're drawing her toward something far more dangerous than either species understands.
