Hello! Welcome to my Pinkerlocke, Blights & Blessings! This is a lore Pinkerlocke aimed at helping me to write more / better. Nothing serious going on here.

I'm going to be doing most of the rules explained on the main thread, however instead of dragons fainting in the coliseum as dying, I'll be rolling a 20-sided die for every dragon. If the die lands on a one, the dragon is weaker and more susceptible, and any number below a 10 after that for 3 days means the dragon has succumbed to the disease and is either exalted or sold (or kept, if I like them a lot), and all trinkets (art) will be treated as materials (writing)! Otherwise, everythings the same.

Let's meet the starting cast, shall we?

When Nesoi had met the pair, she had felt awkward. They were the only people she had seen after she was kicked out of her old Clan a week ago, and they were already so close.

"She's infected," the shaman said, staring at the young dragon. "She must leave immediately. She is a risk to everyone if she stays."

Eros and Hemera had an interesting relationship, Nesoi found. While the latter was older than both, Eros was much younger, and was the most reckless of the bunch.
Hemera was like a mother to him-- to them both, really. She made sure they ate enough, made sure they slept enough, made sure they were okay. It was comforting.

"I'm sorry, dear," Nesori's mother said. She didn't look sorry. "It's for the best. We don't want anyone in the clan getting sick, do we?"

The plague wasn't contagious like that.


As Nesori settled in one night, a few days after the trio had met, she felt content.
Maybe she could find a family in this, she thought. After all, they were nice. Eros reminded her of her baby brother, Hemera reminded her of her best friend, and together they reminded her of home.

It wasn't.

The shaman in Nesoi's clan had told the truth, apparently, as by day three of them being settled in the Hewn City, she began coughing. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, even with the constantly looming plague, but it came quickly, suddenly, and wouldn't stop.

Eros stayed away. Hemera stayed close.

She had been trained in medicinal herbs in her old clan before she left. She knew how to help Nesoi, even if all of them were scared out of their minds in fear, that only after a few days their small family would be torn apart. Hemera prayed to any of the Eleven to save Nesoi, but ultimately, she knew.

It was the diseases' decision, not any of theirs.

Hemera - 18

Updated the rules a bit because i didnt wanna lose Nesoi to make it more interesting. Also Pinkerton where is my food they gotta fight in the coli some time

This is fine. It was a few days after grouping up that the trio knew they needed to find food. So, with Nesoi still weak but getting better, they headed off to hunt. It went... fine, for the most part. Both Eros and Nesoi had to back out a time or two, exhausted and young and one still sick. But Hemera? She kept fighting, never backed out, stayed strong for her younger companions. And that was that. Overall, a successful day, with Nesoi seeming a little better than the day before. She would be fine. They would all be fine. They had to be. [left][b]Day four rolls:[/b] Hemera - 6 Nesoi - 20 Eros - 4[/left]

I only just now realized that Nesoi is, in fact, level 10, so she'll be replaced by a different Nesoi. This is fine.

Nesoi was getting better by the day, though, which certainly helped. It had only been a few days since they all had come together, and Eros was not losing them now. Despite the fact it had only been a few days with Nesoi, and only two more with Hemera, Eros felt at home. Both of them were older with Hemera acting more like a mother than his actual mother-- not that he had one, of course. But Nesoi? Something about her reminded him of his sister, and he didn't know how to feel about that. On one hand, his sister was one of the toughest dragons in his previous clan, practically the leader. On the other hand... his sister was one of the toughest dragons in his previous clan, with no time for her only living relative. But Eros had a good feeling about Nesoi. She had braved the hunting trip, after all, when she had symptoms of the sickness. She was better than his sister had any right to be.
