Akol the Lady of Sapphires (Aye-call)

In the mysterious depths of the Sea of Drakes, where dark blue waters concealed untold secrets and marine life danced in a delicate ballet, there existed a malevolent force as ancient as the undulating waves—the evil female blue dragon known as Akol, the Lady of Sapphires.   Akol's origins were shrouded in the enigma of time, a tale whispered among the ocean's currents and the echoes of distant seafarers. As the legend goes, Akol was not born of the land but emerged from the very essence of the sea, a manifestation of the tempestuous depths and the ominous beauty that lurked within.   Long before the bustling maritime activities and the rise of The Flaming Drakes, when the Sea of Drakes was a realm of untamed magic, Akol found herself drawn to the abyssal heart of the waters. Her scales, a resplendent hue of deep cerulean, seemed to absorb the ambient glow of the bioluminescent creatures that inhabited the ocean's recesses. Eyes of piercing sapphire mirrored the cool, calculated intelligence that lay behind her draconic gaze.   Akol's lair was not a cavern or an underwater grotto, but a shifting domain within the very currents of the Sea of Drakes. She swam effortlessly through the fathomless depths, leaving behind trails of faintly glowing sapphires—a haunting spectacle for those few who glimpsed the phantom-like presence beneath the waves.   As centuries passed, Akol grew in power and cunning. Her intellect, rivaling that of the most adept sea creatures, allowed her to navigate the intricate webs of underwater currents and establish a dominion over the depths. Unlike her chromatic kin who sought the skies, Akol found solace and supremacy in the dark embrace of the sea.   The Lady of Sapphires earned her moniker through the treasures she amassed over the centuries. Deep within the submerged ruins of once-great civilizations, Akol hoarded a trove of sapphires and gemstones. Legends spoke of underwater palaces constructed from coral and adorned with luminescent pearls, where the Lady of Sapphires held court amidst her aquatic minions.   The Sea of Drakes, while teeming with life, bore witness to Akol's wrath. Tales of ships vanishing beneath the waves, their hulls crushed by unseen forces, became a whispered warning to those who dared traverse the deep waters. Sailors spoke of a mesmerizing glow that heralded Akol's approach, the sapphire-hued aura that preluded calamity.   Akol's dominion extended beyond mere terror. She reveled in the manipulation of the sea itself, conjuring storms that roared with the fury of a thousand tempests. Mariners, caught in the merciless currents she commanded, found themselves at the mercy of the Lady of Sapphires. It was said that Akol's laughter echoed through the ocean depths like the distant thunder that heralded her wrath.   In the shadowy alliance of evil forces that sought dominion over the Sea of Drakes, Akol stood as a powerful figure. The merfolk, sahuagin, and other denizens of the deep paid tribute to the Lady of Sapphires, acknowledging her supremacy within the watery realm. In return, Akol granted them her favor, her draconic might serving as both a protective force and a harbinger of destruction.   Among the Flaming Drakes, the naval power of the region, tales of Akol were treated with both dread and fascination. The crimson-sailed ships navigated the sea with caution, avoiding the submerged ruins that marked the boundaries of the Lady of Sapphires' domain. Akol's reputation as a capricious force of nature, unpredictable yet undeniably potent, influenced the strategies of those who dared sail beneath the flaming banner.   While the Lady of Sapphires reveled in her domain's tumultuous depths, an undercurrent of longing stirred within her draconic heart. Legends spoke of a mythical artifact—a fabled sapphire known as the Heartstone of the Abyss—that could amplify her dominion over the sea. This mystical gem, said to pulsate with the very essence of the ocean, became the focus of Akol's insatiable desire.   As whispers of the Heartstone reached the Lady of Sapphires, she set her sights on an ambitious quest, venturing into uncharted waters and unraveling the mysteries of forgotten depths. The pursuit of the Heartstone became a relentless obsession, driving Akol deeper into the enigmatic recesses of the Sea of Drakes.
