Flight Rising Discussion

Prompt for May 14th, 2024

Do you have a dragon that writes in a diary or journal everyday? What would a page taken from their Journal look like? Is it just words or do they decorate it with doodles and other various things like leaves and feathers, as if the journal was like a scrapbook? What is their writing style like? Do they hide their journal or leave it somewhat out in the open?
If you don’t have a dragon that writes about their day, choose a random dragon and write something as if they did write a journal entry.

Bronte just writes whenever he feels like it. And no, he doesn’t hide his diary.

I found a rather pretty feather. Thought about giving it to Fane - but she’s not one for…um - can’t think of the word. Decorations maybe? Whatever the word is - she probably wouldn’t keep it. But it is pretty. Maybe i can stick it in here. Might make the page look a bit nicer. [emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Anyway…as I was sayin’ - the day started off fine. Apart from falling out of bed…but that’s normal for me anyway. Once I’d actually woken up properly, i sniffed around for some food. Found a bit of leftover fruit from yesterday. Nothin’ wrong with it, so I ate it. Finders keepers an’ all that. Wait — is that even the right phrase? Eh, it’ll do anyway. Weather wasn’t too bad. Sometimes it’s pouring rain for days on end, and then the day after there’s bright blazing sunshine that makes me wish I could hide because where there’s sun there’s flies. Nice breeze today though. Bit humid, but then it usually is round here. Maybe I’ll go have a bath in the lake once I’ve finished writing - that usually helps. …Alright I’ll come out and say it truthfully. Today (or so far anyway) was awful. Oh, not the part I’ve already written, that was the only part that went right. See - I’d been hired by someone to go fetch something from a ruin that lay within the forest. Some sort of arti…atef…old thing. They were promising a lot of money, and things have been a bit tight recently, so yeah, I took the job. Not particularly fond of heading into Wynchwood forest…but y’know - money is money. Wynchwood forest is creepy. It’s not just the random paths which go nowhere. Or the ones that take you somewhere unexpected. It’s the trees themselves…I keep feeling like they’re watching me. Or whatever’s hidden up there is watching me. Gives me the shivers. An’ the shadows…I’m used to the dark…but the things that lurk within the shadows [i]scare[/i] me. Eventually (look following directions isn’t my strong point okay?) I came to the ruin the client had mentioned. Just a normal lookin’ one, far as I could work out. The door was a bit annoying but used a bit of patience and got it open. The first bad thing to happen was that the floorboards were so warped and rotten that I ended up just falling through them. Not sure where I am right now. It’s a kind of cellar, I guess? Dunno. There’s doors leading to different parts of it, but I think I need to actually get to the upper floor right now. And that’s probably the second bad thing. Not sure there is a way to safely get around up there. This arti - aeti - old thing better be worth it!

Rylle keeps a journal :) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/94693501][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/946936/94693501.png[/img][/url] Today has been a fascinating day. Since the… unfortunate… passing of my king, I’ve had so much time to myself! However, I have recently discovered that my survival skills are somewhat, how do I say this, lacking. I have been in the forests for days. And I do worry I’ll be out of food soon. I- oh, wait! I’ve just laid eyes upon a beautiful plant! Just a moment. Alright! This is much different than what I’ve seen back home. It appears to have four round leaves. How interesting. I shall put it here. [emoji=four leaf clover size=1] As I was saying, I’m likely to run out of food soon. There is indeed a stream nearby, so I needn’t search for water, but I do fear for my appetite. I’m not sure I’d be able to kill an animal unless I absolutely must… Either way, I do hope that I shall come across civilization soon. I shall update this journal when I find something noteworthy. … Good Gods, I have found something! In front of me, there is a large structure, with huge pillars and stairs… it looks like a temple of sorts. The snake carvings are a bit terrifying to me, but I have a certain feeling about this place. I have heard rumors of a serpent cult, and I personally believe I have found it! What this means for my lifespan, I don’t know, but I am eager to investigate. Maybe. The snakes do still bring me fear. And, … My goodness, I dropped the journal. My bad. There was an actual serpent slithering toward me, so in a moment’s reaction, I’ve climbed a tree and now I seem to be stuck. There are now three serpents at the base of the tree hissing at me. This is not an ideal situation. I do still have my bow and arrows, which may serve to kill the blasted things, but if more come, I won’t be able to do much. Oh my, this is a terrible situation. If only I hadn’t decided to go adventuring…

I’ll talk about my lady Niirik <3 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59091778][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/590918/59091778.png[/img][/url] — She hadn’t always been a monster. A swing of an axe, a thump of a head, and her old life was no more- gone was her beautiful face, gone was her charisma, gone was her words, her sweet, sweet words. But the earth wasn’t done with her. Not yet, not for a while. The vines of the ground gathered and amalgamated into the closest they could do to a human face, then dragged her headless body to the makeshift head. The eyes made of plants flickered to life, the same color as her old ones, but dull and lifeless. She sat up, her new head lolling around on her shoulders as if she still didn’t know what was happening. Then it snapped straight up, as the vines began to merge with her body, becoming part of the muscles and tendons and becoming a part of the flesh. She looked around, the vacant and terrified stares of the crowd that witnessed her execution glaring into her soul. Moments ago, she was dead. And now she was back. She tried to open her mouth, but instead of words only a low groan came out. She could not try to explain that she was just as clueless as them. Realizing that she wasn’t her real self anymore, she stumbled away, falling down at her first attempt from a lack of balance. She scrambled to get away from the crowd, and, horrified with herself, shakily looked into a pond to see her reflection. And she didn’t realize it was her that was looking back. A loud wail was heard, then quiet sobbing. —

Unfortunately, I don't really follow classic Flight ideas so I can't write this sorta stuff BUT good luck to everyone trying!

Not following the prompt - but I did do a bit more work on Argo’s profile. Hopefully I’ll have it finished soon. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76737770][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/767378/76737770_350.png[/img][/url]
