Uh-oh, looks like this Lead+Brown+Peach thing wandered a little too far from his home lair(#385805|Ghilanian), and now he is off to see the world! If ever you feel the need to exalt, he'd really appreciate it if you could just return him to Ghilanian's lair, or to the 'Dragons Off To See The World' thread, here.
This is not necessary, but he would be very grateful!

Dec. 5, 2017: Leaving Home-- Oh boy, I'm finally allowed to leave this dusty place! Sure, I'll miss everyone--and my bro, Ceri--and sis, Nuggets. But I've got a plan to follow! I'm going to travel the world--see every flight!

I'll be happy anywhere, as long as it isn't dusty!

---

Dec. 8, 2017: It took me a couple of days to find a new place to stay. Travelling isn't easy when you're a hatchling by yourself. But I was taken in by a lovely pirate who said that she would take me to a clan in the Ashfall Wastes. So I guess the realm of fire is the first on my journey around the world.

---

Dec. 12, 2017: Though I'm still growing up and learning things, I feel my time in the Ashfall Wastes has come to an end. I join the weapons merchant when they go to market and find myself a new land, and a new clan to move on to. Adventures here I come!

---

Dec. 15, 2017: Sheesh such a violent clan, they seem to enjoy fighting and hunting a little too much. I am not sure I am very comfortable with such aggressive individuals, not to mention there are a lot of dragons living here. I think I ought to move on

---

Dec. 21, 2017: I seem to have gotten lost on my way from this lair. I was originally headed over to the Tangled Wood for the Night of the Nocturne, but I ended up deep in the Reedcleft Ascent. Fortunately, a Spiral-looking thing decided to take me in for the night before I continue on my journey.

---

Dec. 27, 2017: The Spiral is the reason that I'm still here. For some reason, I've been corralled with a bunch of other dragons called gladiators, and forced to fight for this Clan. I've been given the standard fare--bindings to wrap around me somewhere. I made mine into a little bow. But what will it take to get me out?!?

---

Jan. 1, 2018: I'm going. I'm going!!! This tundra named Purity decided to take me away from here! And she's a traveler too!!! I'd best get going. Thank Plaguebringer for Purity. Seriously.

---

Apr. 23, 2018: Me and Purity, we've been travelling for 3 and a half months already! She's really great and patient with me, explaining lots of things about the Sornieth to me. Unfortunately, we also had to pass through some less-than-friendly Beastclan territories. I got off with merely a few scratches, but Purity got off worse. In the end, we had to stop in the Zephyr Steppes to rest up and heal. While there, we met with a flashy looking Tundra. He helped us out a lot, gathering food for us, helping Purity tend to her wounds and explaining a bit about his windy homeland.
I asked him about his clan, but immediately his demeanor turned mournful. Perhaps I was wrong to do so. He still answered, but kept it short; he was building a new, smaller clan than his last one, and hoped for a brighter future. I wanted to inquire more, but Purity interrupted me and so I forgot all about it until we already left. I think his name was... Aelwen? Something like that. I must be forgetting him already.

---

April 28, 2018: If I wanted the opposite of home, this is it! Turns out the opposite of dusty is humid, and I don't like it that much either. But it's beautiful here. And some of the dragons are beautiful, too. I'm really getting close to this pretty spiral named
Summerwings, lately. Really, really close. I feel like I've known her forever even though we really just met. I hope Purity doesn't mind if I want to stick around here for a while.

---

April 30, 2018: I really hope Purity doesn't mind. Summer laid four eggs. I'm going to be a father!

---

May 5, 2018: I guess I was a little nervous, watching over the eggs. Totally forgot to write in here. Purity went ahead without me - no hard feelings, she just thought I should stay here. So here I am. The eggs just hatched yesterday, and wow. I never thought babies were cute before, but maybe that's because I never met these little guys. Two round little snappers and two squirmy little noodles. We couldn't have done this better if we'd planned it! I said that and Summer kind of glared at me, but I didn't mean how the nest was kind of an accident, I meant the even split.

They're still just kind of wriggling and rolling around, but Orlena - the oldest girl - is already trying to flap those teeny little Spiral wings. I can't believe how proud I am of them! I wanted to name one of them Aiko III, but Summer wouldn't let me.

---

May 14, 2018: I'm starting to think it's time. Summer keeps saying I should stay for the Greenskeeper Gathering, and sure, it sounds like fun, but I'm starting to think I've been here too long. I called the Gladekeeper "Glademom" the other day.

I was kind of waiting to see if one of the kids wanted to come, but none of them are ready to leave home yet, and that's fine by me. I told them plenty about my travels and stuff to watch out for and all. If they get the itch to travel later they'll be better prepared than I was.

Summer gave me some wood armor to take with me. Said it'll give me something to remember Nature by. I think she actually meant something to remember her by, but I'll take it. I could do without remembering sweaty jungle, but remembering Summer and the kids isn't so bad.

---

June 5, 2018: I feel like I've been travelling forever, but this morning I came across another dragon! He was a great big hulking beast that looked almost like a zombie. I can't remember ever being so nervous before, as he stalked closer to me and growled. Out of nowhere, a slender and seemingly gentle green spiral came between the two of us and welcomed me to the Bubonic Wastes. He said his name was Benji, and the the brute behind him was Blaine, and assured me he would not hurt me.

Benji led me in to a hidden alcove behind some nondescript rock formations, and introduced me to many different kinds and colors of dragons. They even had this one that looked like a hatchling, but she was actually older than most of the others; what a crazy concept!

They welcomed me with open wings, and said I could stay for as long as I wanted, but something about them just put me at unease. I just didn't feel like this clan held anything for me, and it made me antsy and anxious to hit the road again. I plan to stay the night, and head out again tomorrow.

---

June 6, 2018: I didn't plan it like this, I really didn't, but I'm right back in Nature again, with that clan of Summer's. Summerwings, I mean. She got all snooty with me, told me not to use that silly nickname, but Summer's buddy Ietoro swears she missed me, and so does Amaranta.

I just hope she doesn't find out about that sexy red Imperial lady.

---

June 8, 2018: I finally got Summer to smile. I mean, first I got her really mad - I asked her how Greenskeeper Gathering was and she went off, apparently Orlena stuck around for the first big night of feasting then ran away after everyone was sleeping - but then I said "that's my girl" because if she was already mad, why not go for broke, right? And then she said "exactly!" and curled up around my neck and, yeah. Long story short, I think I'm sticking around a bit. Hopefully not a four-eggs "bit," but we'll see how things go.

---

June 15, 2018: So it's two eggs this time. What can I say, Summer suggested it, and babies are cute.

---

June 19: Sort of forgot to write in here for a while. Woops. We had a little boy and girl, both snappers this time. Deirdre moved out, found a spot in a new nature lair; Artis is wanting to stick close to home, and more power to him. Summerwings still wants me to stick around, but I haven't even seen half the flights yet! Maybe after that. Maybe. She's an amazing lady but I don't think she's the love of my life, and you'd think I'd know, right? Not to mention there's this guardian fella sniffing around her, all, "she's my charge, you better not hurt her." Like, you want to protect this lady the size of your leg who could kill you soon as look at you? She sleeps with a sword on! Good luck, buddy.

I'm out. She's a grown dragon, whatever he thinks, and she and this Bolero guy can sort things out for themselves. I have a feeling it's not going to end super well for him, which'd be funny to watch, but I want to get out of here before she gets any ideas.

July 30 2019,
Visited and stayed at the Bannered Mare

---

July 31, 2019
Right after leaving the Bannered Mare, I ran into a skydancer delivering some sort of message and they told me about their clan. I suppose staying in the Icefields for a bit longer couldn't hurt.

---

August 8, 2019
Most of the dragons here are pretty nice, I met an Imperial who looks after animals and let me have one after it kept following me. Theres also a gaoler who's...less nice but he taught me some tips for if I ever end up in a battle.
There's a couple other travellers here but they're all just passing through to the mountains, I think I'm going to end up leaving soon to since it's going to start getting colder and I don't want to be stuck here during that.
