Quests & Challenges

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][b][u]Day 5[/u][/b] [item=glittering lacewing][/center] So one of the modifications I made to this challenge was the right to reserve fodder rescues and add them as new recruits. Despacito now has three more recruits to train: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/31180410][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/311805/31180410_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/31180410]Gharil[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/61930391][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/619304/61930391_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/61930391]Martini[/url] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/623757/62375647_350.png[/img] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62375647]Bonanza[/url] Food items is coli time, so Despacito took the two new Gaoler recruits to the Mire, and after the requisite 15 battles the Gaolers are now level 7. No exciting drops; we got a Heartred Croaker drop which is Bonanza's new familiar.

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 6[/b][/u] [item=grey basalt][/center] Verzeihen was a long way from Dragonhome. He was used to seeing snow on the mountains, but he'd never seen so much ice and snow in his entire life. He still felt homesick, and a bit uneasy in the new land. Gharil was the total opposite, relieved to be away from the Shifting Expanse. He was the oldest dragon in the group and full of stories of his lived experiences of working himself to the bone, hearing "GET BACK TO WORK" on intercoms whenever he tried to take a break or a nap. Even the rigors of training for the Night's Watch seemed like a vacation to him. Verzeihen envied Gharil's positive attitude, though he certainly didn't envy the circumstances that informed it. Now Verzeihen was standing outside, looking out at the snow, watching the snow fall, once again thinking of the mountains and boulders and rockfields of his home. After a few moments deep in thought he noticed he wasn't alone, and Gharil was there too. "You always seem so sad," Gharil said. Verzeihen felt that Wildclaw bravado rear up, wanting to fire back with [i]I'm fine[/i]. But Gharil knew he wasn't fine. So he just nodded. "Here," Gharil said. He took Verzeihen's claw and Verzeihen felt something pressed into his palm. Verzeihen looked down and saw a grey rock. Nothing fancy - but then, in its unremarkable plainness it looked and felt very much like a piece of home. Before Verzeihen could say thank you, Gharil wandered off, singing to himself.

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/small] [center][u][b]Day 7[/b][/u] [item=seabed pincher][/center] It's coli time again! This time Gharil and Verzeihen were brought to the Mire together and have achieved level 7. No exciting drops, part from a Sickle Kamaitachi which is now Gharil's familiar. Also like an idiot I forgot battlestones are unlocked at level 4, so Gharil and Verzeihen each got one piece of apparel: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/31180410][img]https://i.imgur.com/v5KrngH.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62677210][img]https://i.imgur.com/kBvNUqJ.png[/img][/url] fancy bois [emoji=heart size=1]

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 8[/b][/u] [item=dustfeather sphinx][/center] Awww yeahhhh, you know what time it is? [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/G4dmeJz.gif[/img][/center] Wait, no, not that... IT'S TIME FOR A NEW RECRUIT! Between 1 and 16 I rolled a 3, soooo our latest recruit is a Mirror! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62839535][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/628396/62839535_350.png[/img][/url] Khimera is Shale / Cantaloupe / Spearmint, and she received the Dustfeather Sphinx as her familiar. *boops her snoot*

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 9[/b][/u] [item=navy aviator gloves] [img]https://flightrising.com/images/nests/6/2healthy_0dead.png[/img][/center] Bonanza and Martini, the clan's two Gaolers, are on a nest! We'll see if either of the two hatchlings get to stay in the clan or not. Also, last night I was having the sads and hatched an egg. I decided what came out of it can join the recruits: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62882503][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/628826/62882503_350.png[/img][/url] This is Farin, a male Bogsneak. He is Maize / Avocado / Orchid. (Yes, his colors are a disaster. You'd think I'd have learned by now not to hatch eggs.) Also the gloves went to Jager, who is also wearing a Black Satin Tunic and a Cobalt Filigree Tail Guard that came out of chests, and was given the Tigerlily Flower Crown when he unlocked a battlestone slot: [img]https://i.imgur.com/p8PEkct.png[/img] Stylin'.

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][b]Day 10[/b] [item=discipline][/center] WELP. HAPPY THUNDERCRACK CARNIVAL TO YOU TOO, PINK. [emoji=ridgeback angry size=1] Jager and Martini both rolled a 1. Jager will be leaving tomorrow after rollover (or whenever I get up, if I'm not already awake) unless someone claims him, and Martini's nest will be ready to hatch after 3 more incubation periods so when her nest hatches she will also be going to Icewarden unless someone wants her. Booooooooooooooooo.

Thankfully though nobody rolled a 1 this time. [emoji=ridgeback deadpan size=2]

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 12[/b][/u] [item=Fir Branch][/center] "Whatcha doin'?" Gharil's nose twitched as he came closer. Verzeihen paused. "I'm making a crib for Bonanza's hatchlings." He gestured to the wood and his tools. "That's very industrious of you," Gharil said approvingly. "Beats sitting around and moping about being homesick, right?" Verzeihen gave him a filthy look. Gharil chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. "I didn't mean to offend," Gharil said. "I just don't like to see you so unhappy." Verzeihen's expression softened a bit. He saw Gharil inspecting his handiwork, and felt a bit sheepish, when Gharil had so much experience with building things during his days in the Shifting Expanse. But at last Gharil just nodded and said, "Very nice. The wood smells good, too. And I have to say, that's very sweet of you." Verzeihen's face flushed. "Thanks. I just felt it was... right and all, to make something for the impending arrival." "Must be nice," Gharil said, sounding a bit wistful. "You've never had hatchlings of your own?" Gharil shook his head. Verzeihen found himself surprised - Gharil was the oldest member of the trainees, it was strange to him that Gharil wouldn't have had any children of his own. Then Gharil gave Verzeihen a look. "Get back to work," he said, and walked off, leaving Verzeihen alone with the wood he'd gathered from the forest.

[size=2]@Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 13[/b][/u] [item=dust slither][/center] Coli time! Despacito took Lisabet and Khimera into the Mire. Lisabet is now level 9, and Khimera is level 7. They had both each gotten some new swag from chests this past week, and Lisabet was given a new piece of fest apparel because the holiday, and since they both have unlocked battle stones they each get one more new piece of apparel. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62839535][img]https://i.imgur.com/iu64Y3R.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62498177][img]https://i.imgur.com/K7GdXLH.png[/img][/url] Lisabet is turning out to be a very pretty girl if I do say so myself. [s]It's too bad her tert color is so unfortunate.[/s]

[size=2]@/Tynethyne[/size] [center][u][b]Day 14[/b][/u] [item=almandine][/center] Verzeihen forgot all about being homesick as Bonanza's new hatchlings climbed all over him, purring and headbutting him. He petted their fur before carrying them over to where there was a dish of plant mash that Bonanza had prepared for them before getting some much-needed sleep. Verzeihen once again felt honored that the bright Gaoler had asked for his help with the babies, which he knew required a lot of trust. "Here comes the birdie," Verzeihen said, putting some mash on a spoon. "Open wide for Uncle Verzy." A soft chuckle came from the background. Verzeihen didn't even have to look; he knew it was Gharil watching him. Gharil sang to the hatchlings to help put them to sleep after their meal. After the tiny Gaolers were asleep, the Wildclaw and Coatl lingered for a few minutes, just watching them. Verzeihen gave a happy little sigh and Gharil took his claw and squeezed. "It looks good on you," Gharil said. "What?" "The mash." Verzeihen glared, then Gharil laughed again and said, "Happiness." "Oh. I suppose I am." And it wasn't just because of the hatchlings, either; he felt that inexplicable giddiness in the presence of the Coatl standing beside him. Gharil reached into his pack and pulled out another stone for him - this one a rich red, and translucent, glowing softly in the light of the den. "What's this for?" Verzeihen asked. "I think you already know," Gharil said, and patted Verzeihen on the back before he walked off, singing. [center]~ ~ ~ [/center] So today Martini has gone off to serve the Icewarden. Farewell, pretty girl. Bonanza and Martini had a boy and a girl. Here's Kylas, the boy: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62985515][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=0&body=29&bodygene=33&breed=17&element=6&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=70&tertgene=36&winggene=33&wings=151&auth=668321025f1123fc9e2046af67e5c951d7bc098f&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] And here's Zyrephon, the girl: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62985516][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=0&body=145&bodygene=33&breed=17&element=6&eyetype=1&gender=1&tert=71&tertgene=26&winggene=33&wings=39&auth=86ad2a2e01630c615c9ae04fe891b61a14cf0b93&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] They both, amazingly enough, got Heads with the coin flip so they get to stay in the clan [s]till Pink decides to be a tool[/s]. *boops their snoots* There are also two new members of the clan, one of whom I added a few days ago but didn't get around to introducing, and one of whom was a fodder rescue from last night. The first is what came out of an egg, and maybe I should really stop hatching eggs for awhile. Meet Selene: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/62893713][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/628938/62893713_350.png[/img][/url] And this is my fodder rescue, CherrySkies. I normally don't go for female Imps, like, at all, but I thought she was pretty.
