[center][item="deepwater constructor"] 30-40 matches[/center] RNG says the team shall be....Pearl, Andrick and Bula. Guess it's family bonding time. Andrick is still level 6, so let's venture back to the Woodland Path...and try not to get murdered this time, ok? [quote]Pearl was tired. She had grown weary of the rhythms that had come to dominate her life since being recruited into Pascale's experiment. Twice, now, she had nested with a male only to lose him. She had lost children, grandchildren. She had been rescued from a life of slavery and placed instead into a different sort of suffering. But she would not accept it idly. There were few things she could do give agency to her life...but learning to protect the family she had was certainly one of them. [/quote] Phew, made it through. Sort of lost count of how many matches but I think I got there. Pearl and Andrick are now Level 7, Bula is Level 6.

@Skyeset Absolutely :) Adding you now.

And Pascale is certainly an enigma isn't he. Maybe I'll go write his lore today, while I have a spare minute...

His talons were covered with a fine layer of dust. Behind him, a stack of boxes, hauled up many flights of stairs by two panting, tired-looking students. "The boss says that these are for you. Excess supplies earmarked for the...project." The small assembled crew of dragons looked down skeptically at the untidy boxes. "Good luck, er...sorting. Be sure to report any important finds."

[center][item="almandine goby"] 30-40 matches[/center] Okay I'm back! Today turned out to be kind of a busy day, so no story bits. But I took Bula, Pearl and Andrick into the coliseum. Since I can go one level lower than my highest dragon, I decided to stay in Woodland path a little while longer. Andrick is now Level 8, Pearl is still a 7 (but just barely) and Bula is a 7. Andrick got a Shining Might Fragment because I had one in my inventory and I figured his weird what-am-I-even-doing build could use all the help it could get.

In all the chaos and the heartbreak and the confusion, Pearl had forgotten to name her hatchlings. It seemed like the sort of thing Bhaskar would have wanted to do -- name them himself. Probably call them something flashy. She had hardly known the coatl, and she could not say that she had loved him; but she realized in hindsight that she'd had a certain fondness for him, a fondness that exceeded Andrick's father in some ways. Andrick's father. What had his name been? What had the names of her other children been? It was all beginning to fade, and that frightened Pearl greatly. It was as though she were losing hope. She had so few things left in this world to care about. Protecting her family was of utmost importance. If she could not escape this legacy she had agreed to, she could do her part to ensure its success. But what could she do? She felt like a very small wheel in a very big machine. Perhaps if she understood exactly what it was that she was doing...what was expected of her, and her family line. Assuming that this was not all some sick joke thought up by Pascale but was indeed a ritual as she'd been led to believe... Half-formed thoughts traveling through her mind, the guardian made her way upstairs to one of the dustiest and most forbidden reading rooms of the library, following a hunch. It was time to research.

"That's understandable. It's our first nest." "No. I mean. I'm nervous about myself." Rivo shifted uneasily, looking around as it expecting to be overheard. "In case you haven't noticed...mates don't really seem to last that long around here. I have this terrible feeling like I'm going to find myself being....unnecessary." Bula smiled, a strained look, and lifted a talon to hold up his chin. "Nonsense." "But. I mean. Honestly. Think about it. Your mom. Bhaskar. Your grandfather, even. It's like a curse." She wished that she could say something to comfort him, but every word she considered sounded like a lie. When the ritual was completed, the binding of magical energies into the softly glowing spheres of their eggs, the two curled around the nest and dozed fitfully. Two eggs was not an encouraging development...but time would only tell what would come of it, and if Rivo's fears might come true.

His extended lore is forthcoming soon! [columns][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/1471920][img]https://i.imgur.com/I5p64Yz.gif[/img][/url][nextcol] [font=book antiqua][size=7][color=#FFD100]Pascale[/size] [color=#FFD100][size=5]The Headmaster Cultist|Magic-Adept| Enigmatic[/size][/font] ----- No one knows for certain where Pascale originated. They know only that he arrived in Sunbeam Ruins with a party of dragons who called themselves The Eleven -- representatives for each deity, united under the single cause of fighting back the creeping threat of the Shade. Pascale quickly became a powerful political figure in the region, securing an important alliance with the monarch [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=188785&tab=dragon&did=21038082]Darius[/url] and, in the process, attaining funding to renovate the worn-down library into a school, of which he is now the headmaster. The Eleven disappeared under suspicious circumstances. There are rumors about some sort of ritual sacrifice, some whispers of an offer to a god older than the deities of Sornieth...but no one can say for certain what this ritual may have entailed or why Pascale should have remained standing after the event. Others suggest that The Eleven simply moved on to other clans or that they had never really existed at all.
