Let me tell you that I was shook when reading year 11! Queen Raisa's hatchlings kidnapped??!! And the two Ridgebacks end up with Queen Trinity and they could so pass for her hatchlings as well. At first I chuckled at the idea of the hatchlings smelling like Excelsior, but then my heart was breaking for Queen Raisa and the image of her being carried home due to her grief. Wow, Benedictur'Luna is such a great knight.

I hope Sirius can recover from the loss of his siblings. ((Also.... a baby Imp born to a Ridge/Imp pair???!!! The odds!!!! Sirius is such a handsome dragon too. Like, wow, what a keeper!))

Aptorian says, "we're going hunting and the boys are. not. allowed."

Year 12 seemed uneventful, but given the drama and pain of last year, that might be the best for the kingdoms.

@Parrot

Year 11 was a crazy one for sure. When Queen Raisa's nest hatched, I instantly fell in love with Sirius. You're right, he got all of the incredibly lucky rolls. I hope he'll survive into adulthood. He rolled some... interesting personality traits. His Ridgeback siblings do look like they could pass for Queen Trinity's children. It will be interesting to see how they fare as time goes on.

Benedictur'Luna is really turning into a literal knight in shining armor. I think Azkaban might need to start being an active dad and Lord Consort instead of daydreaming about pairings or whatever he is doing. xD

Yes, girls' hunting party! Although it looked like Kai behaved himself when it was just him, Aptorian, and Arapeta. xD

I think it is good that year 12 was tame compared to the prior year. It gives me a break too.

@Parrot

I honestly love the dynamics between the characters of these Kingdoms that are developing. Queen Trinity and Lord Therakyss are both trying to get the Princesses to act like leaders. Queen Raisa, her dependable knight, and her laissez-faire Consort are showing different reactions to crisis. The forbidden and secret romance of Henry and Amalure. xD

@Countessoffire

You tend to post the recaps whilst I'm sleeping so reading the daily drama is part of my wake up routine haha Better than any soap I've ever watched!

I love your coding for the layout as well. All the visuals help me remember who's who and form those hilarious mental images. Such as Azkaban looking like he's spent a whole week in his room in front of giant tomes, trying to sort out every mated pair in the kingdom. Outside of his room is a very polished Benedictur'Luna chatting with the Queen XD

@Parrot

"This week! On Magna'Patrem's Trial-!"

Dun, dun, dun!

I tend to write the recaps before I get settled for the evening. It has turned into a good writing exercise for me. The visuals help me keep track too.

That is a hilarious mental image of the trio. XD

@Parrot

Want to know something pretty funny? I actually had trouble finding Queen Raisa a mate initially. I kept accidentally buying male dragons that weren’t ready to breed! xD I was so happy when I found Azkaban because I’d bought like three male dragons that weren’t ready to breed by that point. I didn’t want to have a repeat of Queen Trinity’s experience with waiting for breeding readiness.
