Azure Cicada Dragon | Cicada-Wing Forest Dragon Adoptable

The story of Azure Cicada Dragon

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

In its story the dragon waits for the last light before moving between trees. The trunks stay warm after the canopy falls into shade, giving it a place to rest before flight. The creature settles along the bark with its claws splayed and opens its wings when the air begins to rise.

Clear membranes and branching veins distinguish the wings from the hard plates on the back. The markings run along the blue body in short flashes, so the line of the spine stays easy to follow even where the forest is dark. A narrow head crest gives the dragon a silhouette of its own.

Wood and wing overlap where the body grips the trunk. The rough bark makes the luminous colors of the wings and scales stand out. Mist softens the trees behind it, leaving enough room around the insect-like wing shape to make the spread legible.

An observer following the trails below might see the yellow eyes through gaps in the branches. The dragon often lets the wind test its open wings for several breaths before it releases its hold and crosses to a higher trunk.

From below, the dragon’s black outlines show first against the wings. Seen closer, the brighter channels in the membranes echo the golden marks on its head and limbs. The tree keeps the creature grounded while the wings suggest the next movement.
