Belzah - Dragon of Dreams: Prompt #95 - Talisman

    When Belzah was young, taken in by the matriarch in a clan of displaced greek Sphinx, her mothers gave him their first gift of love and adoration. These spinx had come to see the young dragon as one of their own and bestowed a hand-crafted pair of woven cord and precious magical beads for her to wrap around his horns, to signify her belonging to their community. The cord is tightly woven from the long fur of many sphinx members' manes and dyed a deep red. Knotted along this cord are softly glowing cyan beads that match Belzah's eyes, made from the crystalized tears from a nest of harpies that he had befriended with the rest of her family.
