A Father's Gift
Written by Fantivity

Eion was a black starry dragon, born under a rare blue moon. He had a special connection to the night sky, and could sense the movements of the stars and planets. He was fascinated by the mysteries of the cosmos, and often wondered what secrets they held.

He lived in a secluded mountain cave, away from the prying eyes of humans and other dragons. He preferred solitude and silence, spending his time studying the ancient scrolls and books he had collected over the centuries. He was a master of magic and astrology and could cast powerful spells using his starry breath.
One night, he felt a strange pull in his heart. He looked up at the sky and saw a full moon shining brightly. He knew it was a sign of something important, something that would change his life forever. He decided to leave his cave and fly towards the source of the attraction.

He reached a hidden valley, where he saw a beautiful starry dragoness resting by a lake. She had scales that shimmered like moonlight and eyes that sparkled like diamonds. She looked up at him and smiled, and he felt a surge of love and admiration. He landed beside her and introduced himself.

She said her name was Harvest and that she was a Spirit. She said she had been waiting for him, for she had seen him in her dreams. She said they were destined to have a nest, She said she wanted to be his one-time mate and bear his children.

Eion was overjoyed, and agreed to her proposal. They stayed together for many days, enjoying each other’s company and exploring the valley. They were happy and content, despite knowing it wouldn’t last.

Several weeks later, born under a blue moon just like their father 4 dragonets were born. Eion was proud and amazed, for he never expected one of his nests to be born under an unexpected full moon like he was.

As Tradition said wanting to give them a special gift: a tarot card that would symbolize their personality and destiny. He used his magic under the light of the blue moon to draw 4 random cards from the bag his parents gave him, He was curious to see what the cards would reveal.

He drew the following cards:

For his daughter with Gold in her wings he drew the Star, This card represented hope, faith, inspiration, and optimism. It meant that she would have a bright future ahead of her, full of possibilities and opportunities. She would be a creative and visionary dragoness, who would use her talents to make the world a better place.

For his only sonin the nest he drew the Empress, This card represented abundance, fertility, nature, and nurturing. It meant that he would have a rich and fulfilling life, full of love and joy. He would be a compassionate and handsome dragon, who would care for others and the environment.

For his daughter with red in her wings , he drew The moon. This card represented intuition, dreams, illusions, and mystery. It meant that she would have a mysterious and intriguing life, full of secrets and surprises. She would be an intuitive and imaginative dragon, who would explore the hidden realms of the mind and soul.

For his last daughter who was blessed by the Flamecaller,he drew the sun, This card represented success, happiness, vitality, and enlightenment. It meant that she would have a glorious and triumphant life, full of achievements and recognition. She would be a confident and charismatic dragoness, who would shine like the sun in everything she did.

Eion was pleased with the cards he drew for his children. He gave them each their card as a token of his love and guidance. He told them to cherish their gifts, for they would help them discover their true selves and their purpose in life.
He hugged them all and kissed Harvest. He thanked her for giving him the greatest gift of all: a family and that he’d never forget her. He told them he loved them more than anything in the world.

They all smiled back at him and said they loved him too before Harvest returned to the realm of Spirits to always watch over them.

Meet like-minded adventurers and sit back with a drink. There are new stories and rumors to hear every day. Have a question? Well all you have to do is drop it off in the question box and someone will answer that for you as soon as possible. There is a soft murmur that fills the tavern, it's the talk of the tired adventurers that are dotted about the establishment. A few eyes dart in your direction, before falling back to their drinks and companions. Your eye catches an opalescent Coatl cleaning mugs behind the bar. He notices you and waves you over. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/543378/54337722p.png[/img][nextcol]"Hello there stranger, welcome to The Tavern."[/columns] The barkeep leans in to whisper. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/543378/54337722p.png[/img][nextcol]"It's a horribly uncreative name, I know." [/columns] He chuckles as he returns to cleaning the mug in his paws. When the cup is thoroughly polished he sets it gently behind the bar and returns to you. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/543378/54337722p.png[/img][nextcol]"I've not seen you around before. You must be one of the new bloods. Let me welcome you to the Explorers Club. We're happy to have you here. I'm Jevin, the barkeep and local rumor mill. I can fill you in on any rumors or gossip that's going around the island. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me." [/columns] Jevin offers you a big smile before patting the bar and waddling down to attend to another patron. Though, before he can reach the other end of the bar he stops to quickly readdress you. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/543378/54337722p.png[/img][nextcol]"Oh, and remember to read the rules of the establishment."

When your training is complete you will understand how to: read a mission, how to navigate dialogue, how to find your pay, how to fight enemies, and how to tally your leveling points. By the end of training, you will have earned your first level and can accept missions. As you enter the training grounds you encounter an armored Nocturne perched on a banister nearby, watching trainees as they practice against target dummies. He takes notice of your approach and flies over to you. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/403278/40327714p.png[/img][nextcol]Another new blood it seems. Well, let me look at you.[/columns] The captain takes a moment to fly around you, inspecting how you hold yourself. He grunts every now and again in what you hope is a sign of approval. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/403278/40327714p.png[/img][nextcol][i]Hrm[/i]. Not too shabby, new blood. You look like you can hold your own well enough. This is good, because not all of the missions you go on will be simple fetch assignments. Given you seem capable, I'm going to give you a choice on where to start your training. Would you like to go over reading a mission, navigating dialogue, combat, leveling, or pay and rewards?[/columns] ------------- [b]Given you seem capable, I'm going to give you a choice on where to start your training. Would you like to go over reading a mission, navigating dialogue, combat, leveling, or pay and rewards?[/b] [LIST] [*]I suppose reading a mission would be a good place to start. [size=2]T2DD- TG1[/size] [*]I'm curious as to what you mean when you suggest 'navigating dialogue'. [size=2]T2DD- TG2[/size] [*]Let's get right to the combat! [size=2]T3FB- TG3[/size] [*]So what is this leveling thing you have going on? What is the purpose of leveling? [size=2]T2DD- TG4[/size] [*][i]Uh[/i], pay and rewards please! [size=2]T2DD- TG5[/size] [*]That's it, I've learned everything I need to know and finished all of the training!

The leveling thing is proof that an adventurer is improving themselves, becoming stronger at the game and therefore more capable of succeeding. An explorer who levels themself earns the ability to do tougher quests in addition to earning benefits that help you succeed in your mission. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 2TG4b--[/center] As you finish missions you will collect level points. You will find these points at the end of a mission if you have succeeded. If you fail a mission no level points will be provided. But don't worry too much, because you can go back and retry any mission you might have failed. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 3TG4c--[/center] These points add up to boost your adventurer's rank. Be careful now, no one tracks these points but you. Be sure to record and add any new points to your overall ranking score. Also, [u]and this is important to remember[/u], you can only earn level points from a mission [i]ONCE[/i], so doing it over and over again will not yield any more leveling points. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 4TG4d--[/center] Our current rank scores can be found in the Mission Office. When you see that you have obtained the next level you can see Kalor about an updated badge. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 5TG4e--[/center] Our missions are separated into three categories: level one, level five, and level ten. As you can imagine, the level of a mission must correspond to your current rank. Explorers level 1-4 can take level one missions, those level 5-9 can take level five missions, and those ten and higher can take on the really difficult missions. Good luck with those. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 6TG4f--[/center] In addition, as you level you will find more supplies in the armory that make it easier to do your missions. Also, at certain levels, you will be offered new skills to bolster your mission rolls. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS LEVELS IMAGE 7TG4g--[/center] Naturally, no one will be standing over your shoulder examining your scores. We run on an honor system. It's up to you whether or not you wish to keep to the level system. Well, that pretty much sums up leveling.

[/LIST] [center]--------------PAGE BREAK-------------[/center] [right][i][emoji=comment size=1]T2DD- TG1[/i][/right] [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 1TG1a--[/center] Knowing how to read a mission is imperative for you to understand what you are getting into. A mission card is fairly simple to read, once you get the hang of it. We try to give you all the information you will need to get started. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 2TG1b--[/center] To start you will notice the title and level of the mission. Make sure you remember its name, because this is your reference to find anything pertaining to the mission. The level of a mission determines who can accept it. A rank one explorer cannot take on a level five mission, that would be way over their head. You can find out more during the levels training, if you haven't already done it. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 3TG1c--[/center] Next is the description of the mission. This is usually provided by the mission giver so it is not always clear what the giver wants. If you should have any questions, you can always ask Kalor if he knows anything more. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 4TG1d--[/center] Now here we have the topic warnings. I will let you know now that no missions given will be anything more than PG, but even still some topics might come up that are uncomfortable. Such as bones or terminal illness, that sort of thing. Topic warnings are to give you a heads-up on possibly uncomfortable topics. If something doesn't feel comfortable we understand fully if you by-pass the mission. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 5TG1e--[/center] This next part indicates that this story revolves around a specific type of... well, anything really. In this example, you see that this involves the Witchborne Lineage. It does not mean that only Witchborne can take the mission, anyone of the appropriate rank can take the mission, but it is a suggestion if you wish to use a character for it. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 6TG1f--[/center] If the mission you are reviewing is likely to carry over into another part, you can find the pinglist for the next part here. This list will only be used [i]once[/i] and only for this part of the mission, so make sure to put your name on any consecutive lists if it continues more than once. Also, the general pinglist will NOT be pinged for continuations of a mission. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 7TG1g--[/center] Finally, the last thing is the 'Take Mission' option. This part is simple. If you are interested in the mission, grab it and go to Kalor for further details. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS MISSIONS IMAGE 8TG1h--[/center] There is one more important feature I would like to point out. If you look at the top right of any mission page you will notice a little speech bubble. That is your direct link back to the tavern. If you should have any questions or concerns, head back to the tavern to ask them. Please do not post anything on the mission threads only in the tavern. That pretty much sums up how to read a mission.

[right][i][emoji=comment size=1]T2DD- TG2[/i][/right] [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 1TG2a--[/center] It sounds simple, naturally, it's just talking after all, but I'm afraid it's a bit more than that. The art of conversation is all about knowing what to say and how to say it. The finesse of a silver tongue. And above all else... the luck of RNG! [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 2TG2b--[/center] Now, I know what you are thinking: "But Captain, what does RNG have to do with dialogue?" Good question, let me tell you. During certain interactions, you will be able to perform certain abilities to move the interaction forward. You will be asked to roll for persuasion, stealth, and combat. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 3TG2c--[/center] Now we will discuss combat and stealth in detail in another lesson-- if you haven't learned it already-- and for now we're going to focus on persuasion. If you take a look at the example dialogue box you will notice you have a few choices, numbered from one to four. At the top right corner, you will find the roll button. Beside the roll button is what you are rolling for. In this case persuasion. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 4TG2d--[/center] Now, when you click the roll button I would suggest you right-click it and open the RNG page in a separate tab. This will prevent you from navigating away from the game and losing your place. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 5TG2e--[/center] Once at the RNG page hit roll and a number will come up for you. Take that number and pick the corresponding dialogue option with it. It's as easy as that. Let's practice. I want you to go to the tavern and convince Jevin to give you one of his sweet rolls for free. Okay, go go go... [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 6TG2f--[/center] Welcome back! How is training going? [s][b]Response[/b]: Numbers not to be used in these lists, use transparent to hide them please[/s] [right][emoji=dice 2 size=1][i]Roll Persuasion[/i][/right] [LIST=1] [*]It's going well, can I get one of your sweet rolls? For free? [size=2]T2DD- 7TG2g[/size] [*]Oh man, it's dragging on and on. You know what would make it better? A free sweet roll! [size=2]T2DD- 7TG2g[/size] [*]Thank you! I feel it is going pretty well. I'm learning all sorts of things. Hey, would you happen to have any of those sweet rolls you want to give away? [size=2]T2DD- 7TG2g[/size] [*]Well, thank you! It's nice to be back in the tavern. It's so warm and comfy. Not at all like the training grounds. You are looking very nice today, did I tell you that earlier? [size=2]T2DD- 12TG2l[/size] [/LIST] ----- Failure [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 7TG2g--[/center] NO! Did Cailan put you up to this?! You march right back to that nocturne and you tell him to stop putting his new bloods up to getting free sweet rolls! [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 8TG2h--[/center] Didn't get one? That's all right. Hardly anyone gets a sweet roll on the first try. Don't worry, I'm not going to send you in again without aid. Take this... [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 9TG2i--[/center] Image of a cookie with a ribbon with Super Epic Awesome Cookie written in it. Confetti around the cookie. Beneath is a description of the cookie. [columns][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/10755.png[/img][nextcol][size=4]Super Epic Awesome Cookie Bar[/size] Eat the cookie and add +3 to your next persuasion roll.

When you roll this time remember to add plus three to the score. Don't worry if you go over the highest number, that just means you have an automatic success. Now head back and try again. You got this! [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 11TG2k--[/center] Oh, you are back again. What do you want this time?

[center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 15TG2n--[/center] You did it on the first try?! Wow! You are good at this. Most new bloods fail horribly, but you are off to a good start. Let me explain that reward you just earned. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 16TG2o--[/center] If you take a look at your sweet roll, you will notice that it has a bonus assigned to it. In this case for persuasion. When you need to roll for persuasion again, just use your sweet roll and add the bonus to the number the RNG pulled for you. This will significantly increase your odds of winning a roll. Don't worry if you go over the highest number, that just means you have an automatic success. [b]2nd Attempt Success[/b] [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 17TG2p--[/center] Well, that is so sweet of you to notice.

[center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 19TG2r--[/center] Ha! I knew you could do it. Congratulations. Did you notice that your sweet roll has a bonus just like the cookie did? It might not be as high, but it is still useful when making a roll, so make sure to keep it on you until you need it. ----------- [b]Everyone collides together again[/b] [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 20TG2s--[/center] It is helpful to keep all bonus items close at hand when you go on a mission. They do stack and they will vastly improve your chances of success. And don't worry too much if you fail a roll, yes they can lead towards a bad path, but most interactions lead to more choices that can bring you back to a good path. [center]--TRAINING GROUNDS DIALOGUE IMAGE 21TG2t--[/center] Thankfully, most interactions while on missions are decision-made and do not require a roll. Remember to pay close attention to the details and mind the decisions you make, because that is what determines if you succeed or fail. Well then, I believe you are ready to head to the next lesson.

What's in a love, anyways?[/i]"[/color][/size] >>[color=#DB7093][size=5]lore[/size][/color] --------------- [color=transparent]_[/color][font=gabriola][size=5][color=#CD5C5C][i]“I miss you. “I miss your presence in these halls. Your scent lingering in the air like flowers bloomed in your wake and your laughter ringing through the lair on storytelling days. Watching you shoot your crossbow until you stopped missing a mark, the twang as the string reset. Those days we spent together have become my most cherished moments, and I think of them so much I wonder if I'm faking the details or simply loving them past my minds limits. At times I find myself so angry, so filled with rage at you for leaving the clan, for putting an end and drawing a line at last, but instead of fueling me with its buoyant, tender bubble of stability it leaves me in a melancholy I cannot explain. Even to see you scowl would be a treasure greater than all the wealth in the world. “If you still lived here, I could catch glimpses of you and remind myself of my anger. I could stay angry instead of existing in this cycle where I hate you and hate how I feel but learn to love your scraps all over again, the marks your words and actions have left upon my life, to love the accidental influence you stubbornly stained into my history's fabric. But you're gone. “Teach me to forget. Surely you have done it. Does heartache grow smaller, or does everything else grow bigger, until heartache is as distant a memory as our first days? “If you ever decide to come back, I fear I will still be waiting.” The envelope is creased and worn, with no address besides Sabrina's name. This torn and dirty letter is her most treasured possession, kept through the years of harsh living and taking up its own spot in her limited space. But beyond that significance, its the only clue to her past she keeps around. She certainly won't speak of by-gone days, boring a steel-eyed hole into whoever dares bring up the question, and yet has kept this one reminder around since she showed up at a tavern years ago, bedraggled and clutching the loaded crossbow at her hip. More letters have made their way to her, delivered by uneasy messengers who leave without waiting for a reply. Sometimes they are tossed directly into the closest fire. Other times she reads them first. She'll habitually take her precious letter and reread it while the newest ones smolder away to nothingness. Whatever life she left, she wants to take back. For now, she hunts, clean shots lining up in her prey like a singular bolt flew through them all. And while the dragoness she was reveals herself in kindness and clean manners, a cold wall protects her heart with zeal. She is quick to snap at anyone attempting to befriend her, biting the hands trying to feed her like they offered poison instead of a free drink, and only keeps company as numb as she is, or more. Every debt must be repaid as soon as possible, whether its return is a black eye or a fresh pelt and stew meat. Until the day she can return to her past, that will have to do.
