Desc: To be perfectly Fourth with you, this guy appears like 4 times in the story. Poor old fella ain’t really the type to fit inside portraits and cool scenes – uh – I mean I haven’t seen him often at all. He’s always wearing a jacket, but I will tell you about why later. Uh – well he’s pretty bitter -At least from what I remember -bad divorce. He didn’t really like it. Meet Acacia, the 5^th Forrester. Acacia recently retired as head Forrester in place for Alenca and the younger generation of the Forest Vespers to fill up. Acacia is the first councilman of Pentaneos, the fifth isle of Silvaques apparently the hûv-motif of the king himself. Ala, the final minister of democratic affairs. Pentaneos? Why, ofcourse since it is our demilitarized zone. Where our main generals meet. Smoke dragons, Grass dragons, Ocean dragons, all the alikes whom forge the military bond which keeps our Silvaques safe. Hochirius is not especially fond of the younger dragons like me, including ofcourse other Forresters like first in command Alkeron – which may be ironic since Acacia is younger even then the senescent Virdian (who will forever be our king – may peace be with him). Hochirius is the second oldest member of the Vespers – ie us – the Deer dragons.

Arrogant, Bitter and old It makes sense, since Cold is his ability. Siezing the powers of the breeze. His presence sends a chilling pierce through the atmosphere of every room, every battle. You can always tell his presence as there’s always that bitter windchill, that sudden snap. A Snap of cold air – evicting all the warmth almost instantaneously. Hence he seldom appears. With a drake who wears such a thick jacket or cape (whatever Pentanians or Terniosans call it) in such a summer hot city, it is not just without coincidence that someone as chill hearted at him may be. His presence stills everything surrounding him, water stops dripping and becomes viscious – trembling.

Trembling and throbbing as if it would almost freeze but cannot. And he snaps, the water around him shudders shyly into its icy form. Usually around the time he tugs that – whatever it is he has sheathed under that jacket. Probably nothing important but scribble notes seeing how he’s always writing paperwork. If there’s anyone, then it’s him – that boring guy who appears about 4 times in the story and his main job is to do all the annoying paperwork. Savior.

I’m just going to put this out there, he and Carapace – they don’t act too differently. – Arvensis

Features: The 5^th Forrester, Hochirius is draped in a coiling jacket dorned with whites and untanned leather near the edges, it kind of weaves around him like a rosey raindrop. A strange coil which spins around his body. His face is glazed over with a haze of fog, not to mention that every breath of his is met with cold fog streaming out of him. Acacia is old, he cannot really deal well with his frosty aura – so he’s usually sick. Retreated away in his room, where two gigantic mirrors heat the room via the sunbeams. If anything, Hochirius is about the same size as our great king, dear leader Virdian. With effort, Acacia can probably double down on Besieger in a one on one battle by hand. Well that me partially be due to the fact that his freezing is ALWAYS EVERYWHERE.

Personality: Don’t. Talk. About. The. Marriage. Just don’t. Everything else is just chilly, he’s just bitter with a dose of an expression-that-never-changes. But his nepotic ways makes it so much easier for us Vespers to interact with him, often with a light heart, no jokes, but all respect.  

[SIC] As I write this I felt that breath down from my neck. Ofcourse you know who my supervisor was. At least he did, until I wrote about his personality. I don’t think even he himself prefers his personality. Good thing he didn’t see the hints about his marriage I slipped in. Probably something somewhere, has a typo murderously inscribed –yes- by Seamless-Reindeer. My team partner UGH – Asinine, Your scribe – truly.
