Don't remember the first one? Good, I didn't really like (or do) it anyways. Anyways, thank you for tuning in, I really appreciate it when people actually read my stuff! [b]Oh, and if you want to be pinged when I update, tell me, and I'll do it![/b] This Pinkerlocke will be a bit different then others, mainly because I modified the rules a bit. I also made the story more....fun to read. So, without further ado, scroll down and begin the story. ----- [size=5][font=calvin]Rules[/font][/size] [size=2]Taken and Modified from [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1904162/1#post_1904162][u]Here.[/u][/url][/size] [LIST] [*]A death in the coliseum = that dragon must be exalted.

[b]The PearlHearts[/b]-dragons who have fallen under Caeda's command and follow her with pure loyalty. All dragons who have not yet been put on a team are [b] The Undecided[/b], and will eventually be put on a team when I decide to. ----- [size=5][font=calvin]The PearlHearts[/font][/size] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35030992] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=35030992&skin=19314&apparel=10372,10744,21269&xt=dressing.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Caeda[/b][i]| Ice-cold Queen | Lv. 4 |[spoiler]Alive[/spoiler][/i] Abandoned by her parents at hatching, Caeda grew up without the life, attention or family she so desperately desired. With no parents to teach her discipline or love, she grew to be cold and hateful, yet hungry for other's attention. However, soon after leaving her nest, she discovered that she could have her desires, but not in the same way she thought-with a strange unnamed ability passed down through generations of Ice dragons, she can give herself loving, loyal followers simply by staring into their eyes. Now, bound by her hunger for love and equipped with a boundless weapon, she wanders wherever she pleases, casting anyone she sees desirable under her spell in hopes of building up a kingdom of loyal subjects, with her as queen.

Armed with his mother's wisdom and father's strength, as tradition goes for most plague dragons, left his nest at five days old to start his life as an adult, find himself a clan, raise a family, and continue his family's legacy. However, dark things lurk outside his nest, and simple wit alone will not get him far.

Her role, as was her mother's, was to become a clan gatherer who specializing in seafood, and began her training soon after she hatched, and showed great skill. However, on one of her training days, the guardian hatchling was swept away by powerful currents during a storm, ending up washed ashore of the Scarred Wasteland. Lost and weak, she now has to find a way back home.

Her family line was renown for their ability to interpret omens and prophecies, of which happened to come true without failure. However, in the recent years, no Coatl in her familiy had taken up the practice until her birth. She was perfect to take up the legacy, boasted her parents, because in her left eye lied a small, purple mark, passed down through generations, and was said to be the cause of such gifts as foretelling omens at birth. Zaraya soom took up training by her grandparents to become better at her gift. But, secretly, the young coatl did not posses the illusive powers she was destined to have-and she knew it well, though she acted to have them to gain the love and praise of her parents. Eventually,fed up with acting as something she wasn't and training for nothing, she fled her home in search of a different destiny.

Found and raised by Deathbringer, a merciful Plague Doctor, Andrus began part of his life within the blood-red caves, safe from the predators above. Later, however, Zarya was brought in as a patient, and Andrus instantly fell in love with the blue-winged coatl, listening wide-eyed at her tales of realms far beyond. When the time came for Zarya to leave, Andrus, filled with a hunger for adventure and to see the flights far beyond, begged to come with her. Deep within the wasteland, where death and decay stain and corrupt one's heart, the pearly white guardian, a soul of purity, beating proudly, begins his journey. [/columns]

[img]http://www.zamarat.pl/images/div1.png[/img] [center][size=6][font=calvin]Prologue[/font][/size][/center] [i]9 years ago...[/i] The familiar land of copper-brown tundra, full of brown shrubs and evergreen trees with tiny specks of white,was now unrecognizable under the wrath of the blizzard. It began suddenly, with the furious winds howling like wolves as it ran between the dark green trees and tall mountains, and turned the world pale with snow. Layers and mounds of snow. The freezing winds found their way into every nook and cranny, chilling all creatures down to the bone, including the abandoned 2-egg nest that nestled away in a small den, beneath the frozen surface, A small, pink Pearlcatcher stood in her nest, eyes fixed on the entrance in front of her, and the snow falling harshly from the unseen sky above. Shards of ice littered her feet from her hatching, along with a small pearl, frozen to the frosted earth beneath her. She was cold as ice, shivering uncontrollably, her talons and tail numb. Her fur stuck up like icicles, covered in frost. Even for a dragon born in the domain of Ice, it was unbearably cold, as could be seen by the body nearby, her younger sister, cold and lifeless, her eyes fogged and staring to the cave wall. The unnamed Pearlcatcher whimpered softly. Cold and hungry, she curled up slowly, wrapping her tail around her body. Perhaps when she woke up, the chaos outside would be over... [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/I8Wux8C.png[/img][/center] Warm, welcoming sunlight flowed through the entrance of the den, onto the small body sleeping peacefully inside, making her scales shimmer and small pearl at her side glisten. The hatchling opened her pale eyes and yawned, then froze. The howling winds from before were silenced, and replaced with the sound of rustling leaves. She was still cold, yet now it was only a simple chill. She was soaked in icy water, and her fur clung to her body. Slowly, the Pearlcatcher got up, chipped off her pearl from the earth, and stepped out into the warm world before her. White. The world before her was filled with bright white snow, tiny specks of brown and green popping out here and there, but no life in sight. Peeking out of the snow before her, grey leaves lay limp from the previous storm. Her hunger sparked once again, she munched on them happily, before glancing back at the cave and nest inside. Instinct told her to head back inside, to sit and wait for...something. Yet something else told her not to. It told her to go, venture out, farther into the white world before her. With a blink, the hatchling turned to the snowy trees before her and, without looking back, began her journey. ----- @Stargirl8686-(Day 1 is coming after this, I'll ping you when it's ready.)

[img]http://www.zamarat.pl/images/div1.png[/img] [center][item=Discipline] [/center] [center][size=6][font=calvin]Day 1[/font][/size][/center] Paulie shifted in his makeshift nest. It was uncomfortable, even with all the soft dirt lined inside it. No matter how hard he tried, sleep never seemed to come to him as easily or fast as he would like. The moon had risen into the sky, and the Scarred Wasteland was dark and cool. Paulie had left his nest only a few days ago, and was feeling quite happy about it, but he had to admit, he was quite lonely. And scared. And cold. He was always told about the dangers outside his warm, comfy nests as a hatchling, and he would always promise to stay inside whenever his parents left them alone. He always kept his promise, unlike his siblings, because, secretly, he was scared. and now, all alone, he was more scared than ever, and couldn't hide it. He stirred once again. A small fae like him would be easy prey predators- Chimeras, Beastclans and even other dragons. There were rumors circulating about dragons that ate other dragons, and that was what made him question whether or not to risk joining a clan.They could eat him easily and quickly, for he was so tiny, and helpless. The Fae's eyes shot open, and he let out a groan. Now he would never sleep. He shifted again, and covered his eyes with his wings. [i]Sleep.[/i] he thought to himself [i]Just close your eyes and....sleep.[/i] ----- @Stargirl8686 [i](Normally, this would result in a death streak, but because this is only the beginning, I'm going to let this one slide. Instead, enjoy a little thing on Paulie)[/i]

[img]http://www.zamarat.pl/images/div1.png[/img] [center][item=Gold Fly] [/center] [center][size=6][font=calvin]Day 2[/font][/size][/center] Currentrider groaned, slowly opening her deep blue eyes. The surrounding world was a blur, but the cool blue and warmth of the ocean was no longer. Instead, dark red tendrils surrounded her like vines, holding her captive. Looking down,far below, the crashing waves of the ocean taunted her. She shivered.[i]Where am I?[/i] The guardian turned over onto her back, releasing herself from some of the tendrils, only to turn back onto her stomach, releasing her some more. Before long, she was completely free from the trap. [i]What are these?[/i] she thought, picking one of the broken pieces and examining it. A harsh, sickly green liquid oozed out from within, but before it could touch her talons, she threw it far away. "They're alive?!" she shrieked. Panicked, she frantically flew out of the mess and up, into the Scarred Wasteland. She landed and took a moment to recover before shrieking again. The tendrils were larger at the top, running like veins through the crimson soil through the wasteland. Massive fang-like marrow sprouted out of the ground in an ugly circular shape, surrounding a pool of oozing acids where the tendrils were their largest, and most likely got the previous fluids from. Dead trees and logs lay scattered around, and even some skeletons of unrecognizable creatures could been seen, open to everyone's viewing. Currentrider felt her stomach tighten, and looked away sickly. She could not stay here, not a second longer. But where else could she go? The sea was a safe place, but even from up on the cliff face, she could see the whitecaps of the waves. A tiny thing like her would only be tossed around like a doll if she dived in, and would end up in those roots again. her stomach, now regaining it's appetite, rumbled loudly. With a deep breath, she spread her small wings and launched herself into the sky, and flew deeper into the gruesome wasteland, keeping her eyes on the sky before her and avoiding the ground. Perhaps if she flew deep enough, someone could help her. ----- Pinglist @Stargirl8686 [i]So, I added the third "starting" character, now that I got rid of the fodder I was hoarding and have the space. Meet Currentrider, the guardian! I updated the character post and gave her some backstory. Furthermore, as is the pull, I am supposed to fight some battles in the Coliseum, but the dragons are still hatchlings....so I can't. Note to self: start off with adults next time. So, nothing happens today (or, like, for the next 5-6 days. Just writing. Yay?!) [/i]

@Twistedstripe

Can you add me to the pinglist?

[img]http://www.zamarat.pl/images/div1.png[/img] [center][item=Teardrop Lapis Lazuli Earrings] [/center] [center][size=6][font=calvin]Day 3[/font][/size][/center] It was pitch black, both outside, and inside the halls of Zarya's house. The coatl silently left her nest, picked up her leather bag, and sneaked through the door and into the main room. Quickly and cautiously, she rummaged through her bag, double-checking her supplies. [i]Water, food, journal,treasure, candle, fire starters and quill, check.[/i] Then, she peered through the hole next door. Her parents were sleeping peacefully, probably dreaming of their daughter, the almighty Prophet of the Starfall Isles. She sighed and watched them sadly. Unfortunately, their dreams would never come true-she was running away. Away from her destiny, away from her parents, and into a new life. With a last glance, she turned and left. Outside, the hoot of an owl and tune of the crickets filled the warm air. The moon and stars were now visible, and revealed her surroundings. The Crystalspine Reaches surrounded her house, looming over her head and pointing to the Observatory, barely see-able in the darkness. In the distance, south of her house, The Starwood Strand was illuminated, like a great blue flame rising from the darkened fields. It was dark, yet the moon was bright enough for her not to need the candle she packed, thus, Zarya took flight and headed towards the mass of blue light. [i]I must reach it by morning, or my parents will find me.[/i] she told herself [i]Flap with purpose. Don't look back. A new life begins tommorow.[/i] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35051575] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/350516/35051575.png[/img] [/url][/center] ----- Pinglist @Stargirl8686 @Skyeset [i]Well, here's another hatchling! I decided to go with a new character and not breed because, well, you know, they're still hatchlings. Character post should be updated. The cast is getting a bit large, don't you think? Secretly, I hope it gets even bigger.

[img]http://www.zamarat.pl/images/div1.png[/img] [center][item=Azure Yuccarope] [/center] [center][size=6][font=calvin]Day 4[/font][/size][/center] Paulie awoke early the next morning to cries of pain. The sun had barely risen when it had begun-a group of five or so Mirrors began shredding each other with their claws, roaring and screeching hung while they fought for their lives. The fae, snug in his nest only a few wing-lengths away, cowered silently and waited for the fight to end, and when it finally did, the lone victor ran off, leaving four bodies behind. After he was sure there was no one outside, Paulie flew out, forcing himself to examine the losers. The Mirrors were coloured a wide array of colours, though their eyes were all the familiar red of plague-born dragons such as him. Two of them were about his age, just barely past 5 days old. He felt his heart sink. They were so young to die so gruesome. Though it was not plague tradition, Paulie dragged the bodies into his old nest and covered the entrance with old trees before flying off. Death and gore did not scare the young fae. It was common in his land, far too common. He did know, however, that others would not be so happy to stumble upon the mess, including that of the few but plentiful visitors from beyond. Where he was headed, he didn't know, but he couldn't stay in one place for too long before a predator came and got him. He had to keep moving. Perhaps if he headed westward, he would find a clan there; many dragons he knew of came from there, and they all claimed to regret leaving. With new hope, Paulie did a little flip in the air and beat his wings harder. ----- Pinglist @Stargirl8686 @Skyeset [i] Why can't these dragons grow up faster? Anyways, something I need to mention. I will not be updating this for five days or more-I'm going on a short vacation. But don't worry, as soon as I come back, I will continue to update this thread. See ya soon!
