@vOceanic So will I... Especially if they die before the lore I have in mind starts happening, which mostly applies to Marla. Which is why Leftrin is using Guard on Marla way more than on Shimmershale :P But I don't think we'll need to worry TOO much except when death streaks come around, they're usually super careful in the Coli. I had that one dumb close call with Marla and the three crits in a row the other day but backed out of that battle in a hurry.

"Will you two stop that?" Shimmershale scolded Marla and Leftrin, both of whom were pacing in random directions around the clearing and trying to act busy.
"I'm getting restless just hanging around waiting for something to happen," Leftrin complained. She kicked a pebble. "I kinda want to go somewhere new."
Marla nodded. "A change of scenery would be nice. I don't want to leave the Labyrinth but I just don't want to stay in one place. Plus I want to get away from the-" Another sudden blast of air interrupted her, sweeping past the clearing in the opposite direction from the first. They heard another sound, this time of air collapsing into an area, and another light flashed.
The three dragons crept over to the source of the disturbance. The clan that had been worrying them had disappeared again, leaving trees and undergrowth as if they had never been there.
"...Well... that's that I guess?" Shimmer suggested.
Marla flicked her with her tail again. "I still want to go somewhere new." Leftrin nodded this time. Shimmer rolled her eyes in exasperation.

I've got two dragons of nomadic breeds, constantly being passed over by a moving clan, this had to happen eventually :P

@Leopardmask
I think I sympathize with Leftrin the most. Also, the more I read of your updates, the more I feel the urge to write a dragon story -- even just describing my drag going through the coli. You bring it to life really well. ;*

"Why are we doing this again?" Shimmershale asked, to no one in particular. "Oh yeah, because I ended up in a clan with the two breeds that [i]cannot sit still[/i]."
The three dragons were walking through the forest, looking for a new location to settle in. For a while. Each carried a bundle of sticks, leaves, and other materials that could be erected into a shelter when they got to... wherever they were going.
"That other clan left. Why do we need to leave too?"
"In case they come back," Marla replied. "We were pretty close - they might notice us next time."
"Why are you so keen on staying hidden, anyway?" Shimmer retorted. At that Marla coughed and fell into an awkward silence.
"Well, fine. I could probably find my way all the way back to my clan in the Ashfall Waste if I wanted to now. I could just leave both of you."
Leftrin glanced sideways at her. "You were the one who didn't want to move in the first place."
"I - that - that's different!" Shimmer stammered. Unable to coherently voice [i]why,[/i] exactly, the two situations were different, she fell silent as well, sulking as they walked.
Leftrin looked from one dragon to the other, both pointedly quiet. She smiled to herself, enjoying the sounds of the forest around her.
-----
What I'm trying to say in that last sentence is, Marla and Shimmer are chatterboxes but they're finally quiet for an extended period of time and Leftrin is enjoying that. Yeah. It's late at night here and I should probably go to bed now.

"Come [i]on,[/i] that last area we looked at was a great one!"
"Shimmer, there wasn't any water nearby," Leftrin said. "I know you don't like being IN water but we still need it around."
"Sez the Water dragon," Shimmer grumbled. Leftrin glared at her.
"We really should find a place to settle soon," Marla admitted. "We're getting attacked a lot and we'll keep getting attacked by monsters as long as we're moving through their territories."

@vOceanic Whiiich is why I stayed in Woodland Path until level 8 even though I could theoretically move on at level 7. Scorched Forest is hard.

After a while, the trees around them started to darken and thin.
"Whoa, what's happening here?" Leftrin wondered.
"There must have been a forest fire," Shimmershale replied. "These trees have been burned. Look at the ground, too." She lifted her paw to show Leftrin. It was dark with ash.
"It seems recent. Maybe that means we won't get attacked by anyth-" She was cut off by a screech. A pile of ash suddenly lifted up and fell away into a bird made from smoke and embers.
"Things [i]live[/i] here??" Leftrin exclaimed. The bird screeched again, and another one joined it. The three dragons looked at each other, then fell into their familiar attack formation.

"What the heck was that?" Marla looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound.
"What kind of jungle animal clanks?" Shimmer wondered.
They heard it again - exactly the same sound, but a slightly different timbre. They looked at each other.
"Well, let's check it out," Leftrin suggested.
The three dragons moved through the forest toward the source of the sounds. There seemed to be monkey noises as well. Suddenly a wrench flew at Shimmer's face. She jumped and batted it down before it hit her.
"What in the world?" Shimmer asked as Marla pounced in the direction the wrench came from. Marla landed directly on a robotic monkey in a tiny clearing, knocking it over. There was silence for a moment.
Then a hatchling started crying.
Shimmer and Leftrin came out into the clearing as Marla backed off of the monkey. "Oh wow, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed to a tiny, spiky, [i]very[/i] colorful dragon sitting behind the monkey.

Shimmer carried the wrench and put it next to the monkey as it got up. "Is this your... familiar? A toy?" Shimmer asked.
The little dragon stared at them.
"A toy?" he said in Shimmer's voice. Shimmer jumped.
"Whoa! How'd you do that?"
Marla glanced at her. "You've never seen a Nocturne before? This is what they do. They mimic stuff." She turned to the little Nocturne. "Do you have your own voice yet? A name?"
The little dragon cocked his head. "N-No," he chirped. "No name yet."
"Do you have a clan? A family?" Marla suddenly noticed the hatchling's Plague alignment. "How did you get here?"
"No," was all he said.
Leftrin bent down toward him. "You could live with us for a while."
"Live with," he said in her voice.
"Well, that's settled! One of us will have to carry-" Shimmer stopped as the Nocturne immediately crawled over to Marla and worked his way up onto her back. "...Okay then. I guess he has a favorite." She smiled in amusement.
"We'll figure out a name on the way back to our home," Marla announced, as the robot monkey swung its way up onto Shimmer's back. The three dragons headed back to their clearing, carrying their new friends.

Yayyyy I finally have a male dragon! Now in like a month I'll actually be able to breed dragons if I want to! (Noc cooldown, whee)
Also Nocturnes are my absolute favorite breed so that's cool.
I have no idea what to name him though. Shimmershale and Leftrin were named the first name from the randomizer; should I continue doing that? Or should he have a specific name?
