Once upon a time

There was a lonely girl

A chubby eastern draik frolicked in a grass field overflowing with flowers and tall plants. The only part of him visible was his stubby tail sticking up above the grass.
The stems of plants shook gently as the draik pounced forward clumsily. The colourful flowers around him quickly sunk down to the ground, disappearing into his hungry mouth.

What a strange draik.

The draik hiccuped quietly and breathed out a thin cloud of rainbow smoke. His paws scuffled across the grassy surface and the draik quickly sprinted towards a tree.
He ran in an awkward yet unique way. His three sets of limbs worked like a running centipede and his whiskers flowed back into the air. His toes spread out and he jumped onto the tree's sturdy trunk. He slowly climbed up, his toes making a faint popping sound each time they were lifted.

The suction cups on his toes helped him stay glued against the tree, like an octopus. His back was stained with dark black splotches that stood out against his red scales.
A ladybug dragon.

The draik leapt onto a branch and steadily crept on its surface. His eyes closed gently and he took a deep breath. The surroundings around him swirled wildly and the grassy landscape disappeared. A colourful pink sky shone overhead and now the draik lay on an endless ground of sweets and food.
The draik held a large fish between his front paws and nibbled on it with his sharp and small fangs.

What a life.

Secondary form

Alarmm only uses this form later on in his story when Lera can no longer understand him in his regular form.

Personality

Overall, Alarmm is a terribly sweet draik. As long as you don't mention how chubby he is.
Alarmm eats a lot. A lot (note the inflection). Since he's imaginary, he can decide how fat chubby he is. He tends to eat a lot of sweets very frequently. He is very bashful and self-conscious about how much he eats, which why he makes himself look stubby. At one point in the story, Alarmm becomes very sophisticated and slightly stingy due to his constant isolation. He becomes very picky with his food and even his surroundings, which he himself makes.
In the end, Alarmm is very sweet, but the more you know him the less "sweet" he may act.

Appearance

Alarmm's color scheme resembles that of a ladybug, or lady blurg in neo-lingo. He has two pair of limbs that are the same and two back limbs, giving him a total of six legs. His running can be very clumsy so he usually just crawls from place to place, like a bug. His body has no way of defending itself. His long horns are too blunt and the claws on his toes are too short. Even his fire isn't harmful! It's just a multi-coloured smoke that doesn't have any effect...on anything or anyone! His teeth are very small and sharp, but not sharp enough to make a harmful attack.
Why is Alarmm so weak? Well, he's imaginary (and also has to do with Lera's imaginative skills)! The only way he could die is if Lera was no longer alive.

Ember the baby fireball

Ember became Alarmm's companion after the end of his story. Ember is composed mainly of faerie dust and is essentially just a mindless sprite that is attracted to Alarmm because of his energy (since Alarmm was also born from faerie dust). Even though Ember's mindless, he flares up or becomes dimmer depending on his alertness.

Lera the half skeith half draik girly

Alarmm was born from Lera's imagination, when she made a wish (to have a friend) during a faerie dust shower in Faerieland. Alarmm materialized but still retained whimsical abilities such as becoming small as a ladybug or breathing colourful smoke (the former being quite handy as Lera kept him in a bottle). As Lera entered adulthood, she grew more detached of her imaginary friend but she saw Alarmm one last time before she fell to her old age. Alarmm, wanting to be with his mistress, wished to be reunited with her, which meant he had to fall to death first. At last, the two reunited as spirits and wander the Faerieland skies together.
