[size=5][color=#2F83FF]Introduction[/color][/size][/center]
I was inspired to start this Pinkerlocke thread by @/JonSnOwO and his wonderful [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2888197]Night's Watch Training Camp[/url] Pinkerlocke thread. On December 5, 2020, when two of the dragons from his Pinkerlocke party went up for adoption, I spoke up for them because I wanted to explore the setting of the Southern Icefields by continuing their story. (I also really like writing about Mirrors. [emoji=mirror laughing size=1] ) You don't necessarily have to read that entire thread to understand this story, but it might help to read the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2888197/1#post_2888197]intro post[/url] and the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2888197/27#post_45575372]first story post[/url] after the two dragons in question left his party.
For my Pinkerlocke, I will be following the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1904162]standard rules,[/url] but with the following modifications, some of which are similar to the ones JonSnOwO made for his thread:
[list]
[*][b]Food:[/b] Both Cucumber and Unwegg, who had already reached levels 10 and 7 respectively in their old party, will serve as trainers for this new party. As such, they are exempt from the rule that dragons who faint in the coliseum are dead and must be exalted. [s]However, if either one [i]does[/i] faint in the coliseum, she must take a hiatus from all Pinkerlocke activities for the next 7 days.[/s] ([b]Edit:[/b] Never mind. I've decided to prioritize keeping up with tasks over narrative realism, at least on this one point.) I will be counting my battles according to the standard Pinkerlocke rules, using Medium mode.
[*][b]Battlestones:[/b] I like JonSnOwO's idea of rolling a d6 for each dragon who isn't exempt from being exalted, then exalting every dragon for whom I've rolled a 1, so I will be doing that instead of following the standard rule. (My last two Pinkerlocke threads had very few to no coli deaths, and frankly, it was getting a little boring. I hope this rule shakes things up.)
[*]Any hatchling born with Primal or Multi-Gaze eyes is exempt from exaltation for the duration of the challenge. (I may change my mind about this, depending on how quickly or slowly my party grows.)
[/list]

[color=#2F83FF][b]Cucumber[/b][/color]
The youngest child and only daughter of Despacito, Commander of the Night's Watch Training Camp, and his late mate Khimera, Cucumber was raised to be a fighter and a survivor. She had her only hatchling, WeggJr (called "Junior"), shortly after the unfortunate loss of her mother. Junior grew up to have several hatchlings of her own.

[color=#2F83FF][b]Unwegg[/b][/color]
So named because she came from the first nest in three generations of her family (on her mother's side) that had more than one egg, Unwegg is Cucumber's eldest granddaughter. She is curious and adventurous, but also prefers to let actions speak louder than words, as Mirrors tend to do.

In the interest of avoiding spoilers for the story, I will borrow a technique I've seen many other Pinkerlocke challenge participants use, and represent deaths with clickable images.
Clicking on the [b][color=purple]flowers[/color][/b] takes you to one of the posts in this thread in which a death takes place.
Clicking on the [b][color=brown]tablet[/color][/b] takes you to that dragon's exalt page. (If it isn't clickable, the dragon is still pending exaltation.)

Dainty Lilypad

Though inedible, it imparts a mild, sour flavor when steamed with other foods.

Lost Lute
Trinkets
The forgotten instrument of a passing bard. The strings are fraying and the wood paneling is starting to dry up and pull apart. A sad sight for avid musicians.

@BarbaraFett oh my Icewarden can you pinglist me for this? :D
