Kykla, goddess of Dragons (Kai - kk - lah)

Kykla is the holder of loyalty, compassion, and elemental domains.

A silver apple wrapped in barbed wire is said to be a creation of hers, though its story is long forgotten. A jeweled crescent moon has started to appear as a token of love to her secret affair, Astia, goddess of the Moon.

All books containing Kykla's scripture can be seen bound in black leather with a red dragon head etched into it. The books are always blessed by the head priests and priestesses of the Acolytes of Kykla to only open by the hands of a dragonthorn.

The most notable symbol of Kykla is a simple dragon skull, often seen with ruby or onyx gems embedded into its eyes. Her sigil is of four lines creating a M-shape and a S-shape curving through the middle of the M with a diamond shape at the very top to create a simplistic dragon form.

Kykla has only a single holiday, one rooted in darkness and pain. It is called the Festival of Moonlight, which is celebrated on the 22^nd to the 26^th of Oeq each year as a reminder that her love for Astia cannot be made true.

Kykla is known as the pale dragon with her alabaster-hued skin like fragile porcelain against the tresses of her ink-black hair that drapes down her back like twigs. A pair of red horns as hard as steel sprout from the sides of her temple.   She wears a plain red silken dress with a detailed onyx corset and onyx arm guards. Dangling from her neck is an obsidian necklace with ruby gems. When in hiding, Kykla covers herself in a dark forest green cloak that blends in to her surroundings. She often carries a scarlet folding fan decorated with golden blades for battle around her wrist with an adorable moon charm attached to the base.

In all of her sculptures, paintings, and other artworks, Kykla's most notable features are her horns along with her piercing gold eyes. The pupil in the eye always changes, sometimes appearing circular and other times, it is in the shape of a narrow oval. In a few paintings, Kykla has been drawn with red or black scales on her shoulders and face, as a stronger reminder to her draconic connection.

Kykla can use all types of dragon elemental breaths, ranging from fire to thunder to even shadow and nature. She can also using her hands to summon elemental abilities.

Despite their forced separation, Astia and Kykla worked together to bring about a prophecy that involved two individuals from each of their respected races -- werewolf and dragonthorn -- to hopefully restore peace between the realms.   Astaroth Angelus is a young dragonthorn full of promise. She allows Astia to watch over him while also gifting him a rare archdragon as his inner dragon and guardian.   Kane Sullivan was granted to her by Astia. While he's a powerful Alpha-level werewolf, he has a gentle spirit. She is ever watchful of him, taking time to spiritually meet with him and make sure things are going smoothly for him. She can't wait for the day he meets his little Luna.

Lover

Astia, goddess of the Moon, is the only celestial that Kykla truly trusts. They are secret lovers that are forced to keep their relationship a secret as Astia is married to Mykdall and Kykla is banished to the Underworld. Astia is known as Kykla's aunt.

Allies

Ontuna, goddess of Storms, is the cousin of Kykla and a loyal ally in her never-ending quest to prove her innocence. While Ontuna is known for her mischievousness, Kykla leans toward loyalty and honesty above all out.   Rhihius, god of War, is Kykla's father and devoted ally. He believes her innocence as he too was blamed for bringing chaos and violence to Aelisos, and ended up banished as a result.

Neutral

Drara, goddess of Nature, is the mother of Kykla, who knows that her mother never takes sides. They rarely interact now that Kykla was sent to the Underworld as punishment for disobeying Gesyn's orders.   Thodis, goddess of Night, has no qualms with Kykla and they do their own things. As the aunt of Kykla, she is wise not to get involved with anything Kykla does.

Rivals

Culios, god of Flames, is a rival of Kykla, destined to butt heads over the power of fire and who had it first. While they often clash over that, they still care for one another as they are cousins.   Ynva, goddess of Death, is the grandmother of Kykla, and a powerful celestial that command death. Kykla views her power as both dangerous and aw-inspiring. They have built a friendly rivalry between each other, often playing pranks or having contests to see who can outlast the other.

Enemies

Gesyn, god of Justice, and Mykdall, god of the Sun, are her natural enemies, having plotted against her to have her banished. However, Gesyn is the head of the gods -- and her grandfather -- and sought to keep those disobeyed him hidden away, forever remembered as betrayers. She is just unlucky to be one of his victims.   Mykdall is her uncle, and the husband of Astia. The two cannot stand one another, seeing the latter as a threat to their status and happiness. Kykla knows that Mykdall is cruel toward Astia, suppressing her true power and making her submissive to him. For this, Kykla has vowed to usurp him one day and prove that dragons are not the enemy as the sun proclaims.
