@HSoup oooo, how are you doing the wildcard for apparel drops? I agree that geneing dragons that might get exalted is a pain and cool downs are not always forgiving.

And he looks adorable! Very nice steal.

@HuntingAlpha - Since apparel drops are not very common, I am just going to use them as a "choose which option you want today" drop. The dragons I have bought were already gened and I don't know how I would write a breeding into the story, so it seemed like the most logical adjustment to make for my Pinkerlocke. And like you said, I don't want to spend the treasure to change a gene or breed or scatterscroll a dragon that I might have to exalt. There is a reason I am not doing the traditional Nuzlocke. LOL

Besides, Pink has a habit of giving me drops that are the complete opposite of what I am in the mood to do. He gives me writing when I want Coli, he gives me Coli when I want to write. I get familiars when I'd rather write (so I do both) and I've never gotten art when I was in the mood, the 2 days I got art, I didn't really have the time to spend on it. This way with the apparel drop, every once in a while I will get to do the thing I want to, whatever it may be. LOL =D

[center][font=papyrus][color=#00008B][size=7][b]Day 23[/b][/size][/color][/font] [item=stinglash] 30+ Coli matches[/center] ----- The Adventurers sheltered in a cave for the night after spending the day making their way toward Rotrock Rim. It was unnerving to be surrounded by so much decay, so it was truly a relief when Axolotl had found the cave. The adults cleared the cave of critters, allowing the young ones to eat the smaller insects, while Sailfish dined on the bigger ones. Axolotl and Rockfish ate the meatier critters they found. Everyone slept well that night.

[center][font=papyrus][color=#00008B][size=7][b]Day 24[/b][/size][/color][/font] [item=wildwood owlet] 50+ coli matches[/center] ----- The dragons woke in the early morning, refreshed from full bellies and a good nights sleep. It was easy to catch breakfast and the adventurers enjoyed a leisurely morning by the cave. Axolotl made sure everyone had a good dose of health potion as a preventative against whatever germs they might come in contact with. Sailfish, Axolotl and Rockfish then got out their map to discuss the days route. Nuvy and Fate were hunched over something, giggling, and Rockfish went over to check it out. They were petting a Bumble he had caught as part of their breakfast.

If I see you neglecting it, I’m going to eat it.[/i] (Rockfish didn’t eat insects, but the threat of him eating it would ensure those two wouldn’t forget to care for their new pet properly.)[/columns] The two youngsters ran over and hugged Rockfish's legs. *Sigh* Moments like that made all the trouble they caused seem worth it. Rockfish stood there watching them play with their new pet when all of a sudden he caught the whiff of a strange dragon. [columns][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/166685/16668441p.png[/img][nextcol][i]Someone is coming. Smells like a Mirror. But not in a pack.

Nuvy, Fate get back in the cave out of sight.[/i][/columns] Once the youngsters were hidden, the other three dragons stood with their backs to the cave, waiting, tense with anticipation. There was no way to tell whether the stranger would prove to be friend or foe. They would just have to wait and see. ----- The Mirror dragon was not making a quiet approach. The three Adventurers could hear it making its way through the undergrowth. And it was humming. Very odd. At least that made it less likely the Mirror was intending on attacking. (Mirrors were known for lightning quick, savage attacks.) Finally, the Mirror reached the clearing in front of the cave.

What a beautiful day, is it not?[/i][/columns] The three Adventurers were stunned into silence. This was certainly not what they had expected.

I am very familiar with all of the Plague realm and could take you wherever you may want to go. For a small fee, of course.[/i][/columns] Sailfish looked at his companions. They had just been discussing how dangerous it was going to be for them to cross the Abiding Boneyard. Here was a dragon that could guide them through safely. If he could be trusted. Axolotl made a small nod toward Sailfish and Rockfish was nodding his head. [columns][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/166376/16637526p.png[/img][nextcol][i]Okay.

@HSoup Thank goodness Nuvy, Fate, and Aiko made it out okay! Now they will have to face the terror that is the Woodland Path. >:D

And Nuvy and Fate with the Bumble are just too cute~! >w<

@tigressRising - I'm more scared for Scorched Forest TBH. I look forward to hitting the Delta when it gets a lot easier due to battlestones getting added. Of course, my other team is going to have to face the Talonok soon, and then the Threshers. Not looking forward to that.

And thank you. Today was Nuvy and Fate's first dialog. I'm going to try to include everyone as much as possible when writing. Just to keep developing the characters. It's difficult for me, but fun overall. =D

@HSoup

Love the art for your dragons! It's really cute~

Glad to see things are going well in the Wasteland too, and Nuvy and Fate have grown up beautifully! Though they still seem to be little terrors, lol. Hopefully now they're full grown they don't cause Rockfish too much trouble, though I don't think he could stay mad at them even if they did, though. Take care of that Bumble! Don't let Rockfish eat it.

Not sure how I feel about Aiko yet, I suppose we'll have to see what happens next.

Good luck in the Woodland Path coming up and watch out for those Basilisks!

@Artorias - Thank you. I am still waiting on a few pieces of art that I ordered. I've paid for Nuvy's art, but I haven't heard back from the person I ordered Fate's from. And I asked a different artist to do all 5 of the adventurers, but I haven't heard back from them either. I'd like to get another of Sailfish, but that was all I could find yesterday for SD's.

As far as Aiko goes, I am going to do my best to write it so you won't be sure whether he has good or bad intentions. I don't know if I will have the skill to pull it off, but I am going to try. And only I will know what his end game is. LOL
