Basic information
Welcome to the lore thread of my clan, Path's End. This thread will work as some kind of a diary of the clan's life, starting from the very beginning. To me this is both for fun and for writing practice, because one can never write enough.
Updates will not be scheduled, or most likely even frequent, I'll write whenever I feel like writing.
All of my perma dragons already have their own lore in their bios, but I'll go through all of them in more details here, alongside their regular, daily life.
Feel free to stick along the journey my dragons go through by subscribing, or getting added to the ping list! Also feedback is always nice!
A word about my Flight Rising experience
Firstly, there are mentions of some heavy things in life, proceed with your own risk and curiosity.
I've been thinking about this for some time now. I wasn't sure should I even write this, and still am not, but here goes nevertheless.
When I first registered to Flight Rising I had no idea what to expect. I hear about it from a distant person I was working with for a week, and she mentioned there would be a welcoming week next week. I nearly forgot about it to be honest, but somewhere it came back into my mind and so I made an user. It had a different name back then, hopefully long forgotten and buried from everyone's minds.
Okay, yeah, I remember thinking. Dragons. That's cool, I've always liked dragons. I made my progen, got the other dragon too which I remember hating. I made one batch of babies with them and exalted both of them pretty fast. Regretted that decision for a long time. I didn't get into forum, I never explored the site much. I had no idea what Baldwin was supposed to do, or how to actually use coliseum. I came to this site daily, collected money from familiars and gathered food, and that's it. And then I got bored.
I forgot about this site for some time. It might have been longer than I'd like to think, but I came back. Around those times I suffered with severe depression, social anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I knew I wanted to write something, and this place seemed like the perfect place to do that. But I had no energy to do that, so instead I fell back into just gathering things and buying pretty dragons that I either exalted or soon sold again. I did that for a year, and sometimes I still wonder how I didn't lose interest again.
Well, a year passed by, I was as bad as ever with my mental condition. I used to go to Gaia Online those times too, but even if I got active there in roleplaying it never lasted long. Somehow I started to explore this site more, and only then started to understand how many things I actually can do here. I found forums, especially forum games, which are now one of my favorite things here. And of course, I noticed how nice the people were. I were still pretty quiet around here, only writing to forums when I wanted to sell gems. I remember the first time I searched for a rated match in coliseum. I was shaking and anxiety was building up fast. And I lost. I pretty much swore to never do it again, because obviously I was thinking that now the person who had those dragons thinks I'm a loser and so on.
Now, many rated matched behind I can say losing is pretty common and it was silly to think so.
I'm not sure was it 2015 or 2016 when I started to post more regularly to forums, and after every note I got I always doubted for minutes should I open it or not. Because what if I've done something wrong, broke the rules or just someone wants to be mean? Well, so far so good. No mean people here.
I guess.. I guess I just want to thank you, whoever might end up reading this. Flight Rising has been a huge comfort for me (especially through 2016), the people I've met have been absolutely wonderful and I never even dared to think this place would end up being something so important to me. I wouldn't say Flight Rising cured my depression, but it certainly has helped me to overcome the worst, and will keep on helping in the future.
So, thanks. I like being here.
