The Soaring Dusk saga

Okay- I mentioned it before, and here it is. The soap opera that is, for lack of a better name, the Soaring Dusk saga.
It starts with Soaring Dusk and Zacharyas. Their angsty little son, Falling Dawn, had abandonment issues from his surly mother, even though Zach was a loving father. Instead, Dawn turned to Sorlaa for comfort, as everyone does. Sorlaa made sure he grew up to be a well-adjusted dragon, though he still didn't talk to Dusk. Eventually, Dawn fell in love with Cyrra and was overjoyed when she showed him the egg that he'd sired. Sadly, Namli was a devious hatchling at this point, and decided that there was too much hate in Mesconna's pack (to which Mesconna responded "You can't have one without the other."). And so, Namli ran off with Dawn and Cyrra's child, as well as an egg from the cave. This left Cyrra devastaded and Dusk relapsing into his angsty state. Namli gave himself the title "The Enlightened", and named his new wife "Dreamcatcher the Saved". Dreamcatcher had no knowledge of her heartbroken parents, and unwittingly gave Namli a child, whom Namli named Aina the Pure. One day when Aina was out on a hunting trip, she met Mesconna, Krusonnel, and Veyorri taking young Kistaar out. When Aina saw how nurturing they were of the poor misunderstood vampire, she thought of how callous Namli had acted towards dragons like that, his excuse being that they were crude and uncivilised. She mulled over the hipocisy and decided to find out more about these mysterious dragons. By this point she was fully grown, and was horrified when she found out what Namli had done to her parents. Without so much as a goodbye to her forced family, she defected to Mesconna's pack and gave herself a new name in honor of the fateful moment she'd seen their hunting party: Searing Equinox.

Unfortunately, wounds don't heal overnight; it took a long stint with Satchell and a strangely wise son to break the ice. Renec, S.E's child, talked to each of his troubled family members seperately, subtly working their problems out until even Dusk realized her own fault in the problem. Any gap that might have been left over fizzled out of existence when Renec made his lineage part of the official family tree by siring Satchell's granddaughter Symfiliosa.

And that's how you make a soap opera with dragons!
