Pia

In case you haven’t paid attention to the pictures, Pia is a multi-colored dragon, younger than Grabon, not yet fully mature, small in stature, slight of build, and of course, Grabon thinks she’s stunning.

She has a rare talent of enhancing people’s connection to the planet using her drum and singing. She gives voice to the planet, and she reveals the planet’s heart. It is a skill she is still developing, one that will reach full maturity when she does, in another 25 cycles or so.

Little by little readers will see the skill develop as she becomes what the planet has always intended. It is not an easy talent to manage. Pia always has music around her, energy swarms and plays connecting to her emotions so when she is upset, the notes are discordant and annoying to others. This set her up for abuse and neglect as a youngester in a territory nest.

While Pia’s past can be blamed for any number of problems, she fights to grow and move forward, using what advantages she has to move past mistakes and correct them. Yes she was fooled by a false mate. Yes she fell in with a questionable crowd, and she has certainly had some challenges.

Maybe Pia’s greatest strength is her love of youngsters, or her acceptance of differences. She is the perfect partner for Grabon, or she will be as she grows into her place in the Combined Territories. To find out about Pia’s journey, read Grabon’s Nest. She is featured in that book and also makes appearances in all subsequent books in the series.
