● 3H AU: Okay please consider the opposite of the above. Alear is a Nabatean/Divine Dragon (whatever we'd like to call them in this psl) and/or possibly a Fell Dragon if you'd like. Regardless, she took a 1000 year nap, woke up without her memories, and was immediately taken in by Seteth and Rhea going OHHHHHH GOD WHERE DID SHE COME FROM, WHY IS SHE HERE, WE GOTTA LOOK OUT FOR HER. Or they can actually know her and/or use her in Rhea's case, whatever sort of bg you'd like to play with! Regardless, she attends Garreg Mach as a student! Meanwhile, Agarthan Griss is placed into the Monastery in order to assist in Zephia's plans. She's serving as an instructor and like Solon, hides her appearance with magic to better blend in. She's probably still a Mage Dragon, whatever the fuck those are. Alternatively, Griss could be from a timeline where Zephia died and he was basically pawned off by Thales to Hubert's dad for whatever reason... only for Hubert's dad to go "absolutely not" and hand him over to Hubert as one of Hubert's few dedicated men. The idea of Hubert being forced to deal with Griss is very funny, okay.

Either way! Exploring the conflict through the lens of "my family was destroyed by you guys and the only living ones I have left greatly fear/hate you" and whatever the FUCK the Agarthans are doing at any given moment (lbr in this au they're reviving the Fell Dragon, Sombron) would be interesting to play with! But we could take this any number of ways - I just like the idea of both of them hiding who they truly are from one another (badly). Everyone else watching them like (unsure).
