D-060: Home for a Roaming Soul

Malakai's caravan was a nice, but worn looking mobile home. It was a very old-world and definitely belonged to a traveling man. It was a rounded shape, long and delicately engraved with different little markings unique to the carpenters of his family. It had been a gift given to him before he too left home and began his own journey.

The door, engraved with some horse-like Thunder dragon swung open into two parts like a barn door, the top half being two sturdy-looking shuttered windows and the bottom being a hard solid wood. The roof was a smooth metal-wood combination with a tiny chimney spout at one end. Curtains drew over the window at the moment, blocking the inside of the caravan from view now the door was shut.

The four large wheels were planted securely into the ground, and at the opposite end to the entrance was a place where a rider would clearly sit. A half ladder provided access to the wooden bench, and a small awning protected the rider from the weather. Two large wooden shafts, big enough to fit the width of Riva considering the size of the caravan, sat beneath the seating and currently rested on the ground, Rivia's tack placed in a chest on the underside of the caravan it seemed.

It was all coloured in greens, golds, and blues - all colours that seemed to suit him. ~ Quote from The Stubborn Earth (1/2)


Malakai's caravan was build for him by his Naki family as a kind of coming of age present. He's had it since he left at the young age of 16. Its in this caravan he met and raised Grimsby, and then soon after baby Rivia. Theres still a few scratch marks on its side from where he measured her as she grew, before he gave up as she became bigger then him and he could no longer reach to put the next nick to the wood. 

Its colours are a mix of ones he chose and the colours of his family. The thunder/horse dragon is his family crest and symbol. He keeps a lot of things inside of it and its often seen as more chaotic order then a regular old mess - mostly on his robotics work bench at least. 

Rivia often builds a cave or a rocky overhang for herself and Grim to sleep under, and Rivia is the only dragon that is always by Malakai's side, no matter the time or the day. She pulls his caravan in place of the horse he had when he first left. 

Its not much, but its home, as Malakai sees it. 

The above picture is a sort of flashback/memory of when he first adopted Rivia, and the original three were a lot younger. Malakai hadn't lost his whole leg and the left part of his face to his degenerative condition yet, Rivia could still fit in his lap, and Grim was a mischievous .0 mark of his current complicated, blinding self. 

Simpler times.
