This is CloudStorm, a Hero Fury adopted from GreenCheekParot on the SoD forums.
CloudStorm is the guardian dragon of The Yeluintain Isles, protecting all the dragons on the isle.

CloudStorm stalked silently through the many connecting tunnels that led through the mountain he called home. He'd heard dragons letting out distress calls not too long ago; mainly from Monstrous Nightmares and Deadly Nadders. From what he could tell by the calls, an violent dragon had decided to take residence on the normally peaceful island. As if CloudStorm would let that happen.
Slipping through a side tunnel from the main one, he was greeted with a cold gust of wind. Raising his right wing to keep the wind from continually whipping at his eyes, he hopped down from the ledge the tunnel had lead down, landing on thanfully solid ground. Unlike most Night Furies (I know he's a Hero Fury, that'll come up later), he lacked the dark scales that helped camoflauge the almost extinct species in the dead of night. Of course, since his scales were such a light blue-white color, he could easily camoflauge himself in the clouds- hence his name. Shaking his head slightly and raising his ear-fins, he looked around, light white eyes scanning his surrounds for an form of enemies.
Lowering his head and bounding forward, his sharp ears quickly picked the shrieking distress call of a Deadly Nadder. Spinning around on his feet, he took to the air, heading West in search of the source. It was only about ten minutes when he spotted the Deadly Nadder and the offending dragon that had triggered the distress call. A large StormCutter towered over the surprisingly small Deadly Nadder, fangs bared with its pupils tiny black slits. Diving down in front of the Deadly Nadder and facing the StormCutter with a harsh snarl, CloudStorm coud easily tell why there had been so many distress calls. A dragon of this- and a StormCutter at that- would cause most of the friendly dragons here on the island to turn tail and fly as far away as possible.
The StormCutter, distracted from the Deadly Nadder, hissed furiously before rearing back as CloudStorm fired a waring shot dangerously close to its wing. When the StormCutter failed to take the hint and instead stalked forwards, growling, CloudStorm quickly took to the air so he was eye-level with the StormCutter. Firing three plasma blasts was enough to make the StormCutter back away, cowering slightly. Of course, StormCutter tended to be a prideful species so the opposing dragon merely stepped forwards again, refusing to back down completely. Lunging downwards and scoring his claws down the StormCutter's face seemed to give it the hint as it flailed backwards, much to CloudStorm's satisfaction. Firing three more plasma blasts at the StormCutter, it reluctantly flew off, casting CloudStorm a furious glare and a loud roar before vanishing from sight.
Returning to the rocky ground, CloudStorm turned his head towards the Deadly Nadder, checking over the dark purple dragon for any injuries. Finding none, CloudStorm tilted his head to the said. "Are you injured in any way?" The Deadly Nadder did nothing but stare for a few minutes before shaking its head frantically. "No, no, I'm not hurt! Bu-but thank you for getting rid of that dragon! It's been bothering everyone." Pleased that the friendly Nadder wasn't hurt in any way, CloudStorm flicked his ear-fins upwards. "Have you any idea why that StormCutter was terrorizing everyone?" CloudStorm questioned curiously, tucking his wings against his sides. Shaking its head, the Nadder replied, "I think it wanted this to be its home and didn't want anyone else here?" Pausing for a few seconds, the nadder added, "But still, thank you! You're a..a Hero Fury!" The Nadder bounced up sharply, sudden excitement flashing in its eyes as it quickly zoomed off to inform the other dragon's of this 'Hero Fury'.
CloudStorm tilted his head to the side before shrugging and flying off in the opposite direction.
Perhaps he really was a Hero Fury.
