Vita thought it was just a cute earring. Then one day, in a moment of panic, it leapt from her ear with a shriek of silver wind, spiraling down her arm like a living gauntlet. The tiny dragon coiled there looked up at her with opalescent eyes, yawned—and fired a blast of glacial magic that shredded a car door in half.
Now, Zephyros is more than a trinket. He’s a partner. A temperamental frost wyrmling, loyal only to Vita, and deeply offended when ignored for too long. He doesn’t talk—yet—but his body language screams sass.
In its dormant state, Zephyros appears as a delicate silver earring shaped like a coiled baby dragon, its tail looping around the lobe and its head perched just above the helix. When activated, he unwinds and expands, wrapping around Vita’s forearm like a living bracer. His scales glint faintly with blue runes, and his tiny wings stretch as he charges a shot. When he fires, the air flashes white-blue, and a burst of frozen breath erupts in a shape of Vita’s choosing—spikes, beams, or swirling frost.
Every shot leaves a whisper of winter in the air.
Zephyros wasn’t made—he was gifted. Or maybe born from something ancient Vita brushed up against one Contract too many. She doesn’t remember when he first appeared, only that she woke up with him snug against her ear and a note in her pocket that said, “He likes you. Feed him starlight.”
Despite his size, Zephyros is imbued with the breath of some long-forgotten storm dragon. His blasts don’t burn—they freeze, crack, and peel armor like dead bark. His form adapts on the fly, shifting his attack shape with a flick of Vita’s wrist. A cannon one second, a railgun the next.
He hates being left alone. If he’s unused for more than a day or two, he sulks—and starts to fade. Vita talks to him like a pet, even when he’s dormant. And when things get serious? He roars, not with fire, but with the howling bite of wind made flesh

You also gain the following effects:
Less so a firearm and more so a light artillery piece. Its muzzle blast is a dazzlingly bright explosion, lobbing a sizable chunk of metal at modest velocity. This brick of a hand cannon is twice as big as a contemporary handgun, and just as loud. Hearing protection and a suppressor recommended!
This gun is, quite literally, out of this world, whether that means of alien, time-travel, or inter-dimensional means. The bottomless magazine mechanism listed is arcane in nature, and the firearm feeds hulking wildcat .45 caliber cartridges. The gun is sealed (minus the ejection port and barrel) and self-cleaning.
A journal entry about the gun, written by an unknown blacksmith, and scrawled in an unknown language, notes the following improvements to the base design:
"Hellfire" portal technology for self-reloading magazine and self-cleaning mechanism. Ketsteel alloy construction for reduced weight at virtually no cost to durability. Prototype self-guided munitions (mimicking Myrrh Sov's harmonic stone core earthromancy-guiding munitions). An ergonomic grip (to replace the original design's horrid one). Cleaner sight picture. Threaded barrel to accept barrel accessories (the gods know it needs one). Expanded trigger guard to allow use of gloves.
