Skif! Can you hear me? It's going to be alright. I'll get you some help"[/columns] [size=4][font=century gothic]Not far away, back in his tent at the fair, a dark dragon grinned. 'It gets them every time. Every day silly young dragons think they can mess with magic. Fortune telling, potions, spells. All of them think it's all silly nonsense, but not this time. I told her she shouldn't mess with fate. A shame it happened to the shyer one, but beggars can't be choosers. I wonder how long it takes to break the spell this time? Dragons will come from across Sornieth to break the spell on the poor old cursed girl, but only true loves first kiss will break it. And if my predictions are correct - that won't be for a very long time'.

[b][/b][img]http://i.imgur.com/qlvGzEM.png[/img] [center][size=5][font=century gothic]It seems our little Skif here needs help! Only true love's kiss will break the spell cast upon her to return her to beautiful self and that could be any one of the thousands of dragons in Sornieth! Perhaps your dragon is her true love? Why not give them a try?[/size] [img]https://i.imgur.com/csTYUSy.png[/img][/center] [size=4][font=century gothic]I thought i'd make this little challenge into a bit of a lore circle. My idea is obviously to achieve this challenge and have one hundred hatchlings but I wanted to add a little story to it. How can you justify a dragon having that many children in lore? By casting a curse on her of course! To make this a lore circle I'd like the different mates to come with a story on how and why they want to free this poor little Fae from her curse. Maybe they don't actually think they're her true love, but believe they're good enough to do it anyway. Maybe they are actually looking for love and would do anything for her. Now [b]we[/b] all know that the that the first few dragons won't break the spell - but the dragons won't know that and so might love taking part! I will be following the same rules of the actual challenge of course but adding a few more for the lore/mates that want to take part. Without further ado: [center][color=E965BF][size=5][b]Normal Rules[/b][/center][/color][/size] [quote]1. This challenge begins with the selection of your matriarch. To pick one, she must fulfill two requirements. The first, obviously, is that she has to be biologically female. The second is that she must have never been bred before now. That's it; anything else goes! She can be from your clan already, from the Auction House, have any breed / color / gene combination, be immediately RTB or not -- the sky is the limit. The one thing I recommend without a doubt is that she'd be a dragon you'd permanently keep, because you're going to have her in your hands for quite some time. If you find that you're tiring of your matriarch's look, feel free to scatterscroll her, breed change her, or alter her genes as much as you'd like. The only thing you cannot do is replace her with any other dragoness after the challenge begins. 2. Select the first mate for your matriarch. You may retrieve him over the Auction House, borrow a stud, or pick a permanent resident of your clan -- literally the only requirement for him is that he's biologically male and thus can produce offspring with her. Note how this step says "first" mate. This is because your matriarch cannot breed with the same dragon twice across the duration of this challenge. 3. Breed them once they're both RTB and you have sufficient space! Make a note of how many children they've had and keep it. Maintaining count is key. I'd also recommend making a note of who the mate was, so that you never accidentally "double-dip." 4. When the hatchlings are born, you cannot just immediately exalt them or sell them over the Auction House. On the contrary, you must ensure every hatchling gets a long-term home. This could be anything from becoming someone else's permanent dragon to being bred at least once in someone else's lair. Either way, they need to be kept by someone for a while before being exalted or exalt-trained, if ever. If you want, you may keep any hatchlings you get as long-term residents of your own clan. If you end up selling someone a hatchling and they change their mind and either resell or exalt it, then you are not held accountable for it; after all, the matter at that point would have been out of your hands. However, it might be wise to not sell that person another hatchling for the duration of the challenge. 5. Repeat the process from finding a new mate to sending the hatchlings off to find long-term homes until all 100+ hatchlings have found a place they belong! [/quote] [size=5][font=century gothic][center]If you would like to donate your dragon to the challenge please have a look below! [center][color=E965BF][size=5][b]Lore Rules[/b][/center][/color][/size] [quote]1. If you want your dragon to get involved in this project they must obviously be ready to breed! They don't need to be RTB at exactly the same time as the matriach, but I don't want to be waiting for too long. Any breed, shape, size or colour of dragon are welcome. 2. The general idea is that you write some lore yourself however this can be as long or as short as you want! It can be a short paragraph or a full story! Write this where you want too - the forum, your dragon's bio or on external site, it doesn't matter! I am also open to RP if you would like to. 3. Regarding nesting - As this dragon is precious to me, I won't be lending her out anymore. I am part of a nest network so I am trusted to return dragons and regularly take in dragons for fellow hatcheries. If you do not wish to give your dragon however, I do understand.

There wasn’t much happening around the clan recently and oh how he longed for battle. He supposed that that should have been a good thing, peace and harmony, but he missed the rush that fighting gave him. The others had declined his request to go to the coliseum. Even the reward of treasure wasn’t enough to awaken their desires lately. Fighting alone seemed worth it, if only in one of the lower tiered venues, but he couldn’t outweigh the risks – his clan needed him. So what else was there to do? He picked up his sword and armour, which were never far away and set off.

The Fae turned to the source of the voice, smooth and warm, like honey to her ears. Standing there was a handsome green and silver Skydancer, carrying himself with a bearing as regal as his elegant, shining armor. "Yes, I am. Are you here to break my curse?" she replied hopefully. He smiled and nodded. "I have heard of your plight and traveled far to meet you. Ah, but where are my manners. I am Prince Regulus."[url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2280921/5#post_30129196][MORE][/url] [nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35779250] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/357793/35779250.png[/img] [/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=36500290][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/365003/36500290.png[/img][/url] [nextcol]Skif began to wonder to herself if her curse would ever be broken. Her heart feeling empty and defeated, she let out a long sigh. Several days went by completely uneventful and just as she was about to lose hope, she heard a nocturne nearby belt out with a huge laugh, talking with some of the other local dragons. What an interesting laugh, she thought to herself. Just as she turned to walk off and continue on with her day, she heard a voice call out to her.[url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2280921/9#post_31193068][MORE][/url] [/columns] [columns]Skif sighed heavily as she watched the sun dip behind the mountains, turning the blue sky to a dreamy lilac. The pale Fae had her frills drooping down at the side of her cheeks, 'Will he even arrive?' she thought to herself sadly. Immediately after her doubtful thoughts, rustling broke the lonely silence and from within the bushes a crystalline Fae walked out. His amber eyes darted all over the clearing before landing on Skif. His frills immediately perked up and he respectfully dipped his head to her. "Skif?" he asked, though he quite clearly knew that it was indeed her. The petite dragoness nodded shyly - she was not used to dragons showing such a gesture of respect towards her.

It has to." Skif muttered to herself, suddenly there was a noise behind her. She turned around to see an intimidating looking Guardian standing there. She let out an involuntary gasp of surprise. The Guardian took a step back as well, "I'm sorry, did I startle you? I didn't mean to, you must be Skif."Skif nodded, "And you must be here to break my curse."The Guardian shifted awkwardly, "Well sort of."

He hoped one day it would be as big as himself. That way the clan wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between his shiny scales and the treasure he stood beside. He imagined himself diving into a big pool of it one day, disappearing amongst the treasure. A small cough brought him back to his senses.

Zaahir was one of these dragons and he made a point of climbing above the trees to see the other beauties the world has to offer - stars. Upon one such occasion, Zaahir was shocked to find himself with company. Sat upon the top of a tree was a small female Fae, sat with her arms in her lap staring up at the sky. He approached her as gently as an imp could approach a Fae but it seemed she was truly lost in the stars.

What they hadn’t concentrated on was where the dragon was and who she was with. For nevermind Skif, she was with Ambrosia and he was sure of it. Ambrosia had sneaked away a long time ago now and all of his leads so far had led to her being in the forest. Who is Ambrosia you might ask and why did she matter?

"May I invite the cursed lady for tea?" Connecting the deep guardian voice with the subject of tea was quite a surprise, but he seemed serious. Even a big, burly, jaguar patterned guardian could have a gentle side. "I have heard of her beauty, and would like to get to know her heart as well."

His time back in his homeland had proved most profitable; several lairs he had spoken with had been surprisingly open to the idea of exchanging information with a small but growing Water lair. He was not necessarily expected to report back to Clan Aquaurora any time soon, but he felt that the good news deserved sharing.[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2280921/29#post_41832340][MORE][/url] [/columns]

Those around wonder if there's a visitor or if it's just mother nature having a slight tantrum. They wait and watch, but nothing happens. Most will go back to their activities; others stay on alert. They will not notice the movements of a wildclaw along the shadows in the wall; no sound, no missteps.[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2280921/29#post_41815565][MORE][/url] [/columns] [columns]Spectresong belongs to a small but growing clan in the arcane domain, but recently has been growing restless.

He was contemplative to a fault, sometimes he overthought everything that it got other dragons worried. It was Ruth who literally had to knock him out of another starry stupor and go set off and find something worthwhile than staring at balls of fire and gas (Which Ruth was scolded for a few moments later, being the representative he is).
