Dranaden
The Gifted
Dranaden was the 10th Shard to appear after the Fractioning, he appeared just outside of Stonebridge, a woman was painting a landscape in a nearby forest, she had so much passion and love for her art that she never stopped for days when she stopped only because she couldn't paint anymore, and fell asleep next to her easel. When he appeared he immediately picked up her brushes and paints and began painting, not on her art, but in the air, he painted everything inside of him on to the night sky pulling everything that was still inside in out, until day broke and woman woke up, at first she was shocked and frightened, what appeared to be a crazed man had been standing over her while she slept and was covered in her paint, but as she looked around she noticed that all around her was filled with living art of all kinds. when he noticed her he gave her a weary smile and introduced himself, shocked that it was her art that spoke to him in such a way, they spent the next week together, making art growing close, he was not just a great painter but a true renaissance man through and through, everything he picked up he was immediately a master at, any instrument, and style of poetry or acting, and over time others started to notice, and he started spending less and less time with her. She was hurt, but also understood that he couldn't be content with just her, months went by and they essentially no longer spent time together, she was sad that it seemed he had forgotten her, but she cherished the memories of all the time they spent together, until one day he showed up again, a bouquet of flowers in had and a charming smile on his face, it had been 1 year since he first appeared because of her, and he wanted them to celebrate this anniversary together, she immediately broke down in tears, he hadn't forgotten her, and in fact held on to those moments with her just like she had, they returned to the forest where they had met and shared a lovely meal and painted together just like they had a year ago. They would do this every year until she died 50 years later, and as she was dying he was at her bedside comforting her with a song.
Dranaden is the only Shard that has a good relationship with each of the other Shards, an impressive feat considering the different personalities and relations they have amongst each other, but he is able to make it work, the biggest reason for this is how genuine he is, he genuinely and deeply cares about each of the Shards and fosters relationships with each of them individually. However even though he has a good friendship with the other Shards he has the deepest connection to Josefan. She and Dranaden have had an on again off again relationship for the entire time they have been around, while a majority of that time has been them being together they do not have the most consistent and stable relationship, with him being a the god of Charm and Relationships, and her being the god of Love and Passion whenever they are together they are deeply in love, however sooner or later one of them needs to move on, either inspiration hits him and he leaves to chase it, or her passions moves to something else and follows, sometimes when they go apart it can be a healthy mutual separation, but more often than not someone is hurt and they will usually act on that hurt, but regardless of how many time they separate, there will always be more times of them getting back together, their love will never be gone for long.
