One of the yet-to-be-introduced hatchlings rolled a 1 today. I will wait until they're an adult, levelling them up to 5, and exalting.

Apologies for the delay - this is pretty common with me unfortunately :')
I see opt-in pinglists have been introduced nowadays, so here's one for the locke. From the next post onwards, I won't be using the old pinglist anymore, so please feel free to subscribe if you're still interested in following the story. Thank you!

[font=fantasy]Dhamballah’s time in the prison passed in an uncomfortable blur as the Spiral and Nocturne entertained themselves with his misery.
On some days, Glade coiled her tail around him and tossed him around the woods as if he were a toy, screeching in joy anytime a new cut appeared against his scales. When she got bored of that, she liked to use him as target practice. Sharp rocks scraped and pierced his body, but he was usually too exhausted to move by that point. He slipped in and out awareness, unsure if he’d ever blink his eyes open again. The Spiral’s deranged, fanged smile haunted him, not letting him escape even in unconsciousness.
Reign was a lot more slow and deliberate with her torture. Once, she took hours to meticulously pin his wings spread open against the ground. Sharp, wooden stakes pierced the membrane of his wings, digging into the earth and trapping him as if he were a pinned butterfly put up for display. Reign’s smile was cold and amused as she stared down at her creation, before turning away to abandon him to his fate. He screamed for her not to leave him like this, but she only laughed without even looking back, and he realized his fear only satisfied her further.
Dham wasn’t sure how long had passed—it must’ve been weeks—before their sick games finally began dwindling. They’d leave him alone for hours or even days at a time, during which he blindly stumbled through the woods in a desperate attempt to get away from them. Even then, he could almost feel their gazes piercing into him from the darkness, could hear their cackles echoing in his wake. Were they really stalking him, or was his mind tormenting him with delusions? He couldn’t tell anymore.
Eventually, a full week passed without him ever seeing either of them, and he’d finally started calming down. His body was bruised and sore, and his once bright mind was slowed by hunger and fright. He’d almost forgotten where he was, what had happened—but as his memories sanity slowly trickled back to him, he tried to steel his focus again. Right, he was in prison… and he knew now more than ever that he [i]had [/i]to break out, before more of these lunatics went after him.
But right as Dham was starting to get a hold of himself again, a red glint flashed against the darkness of the forest, and a familiar figure glided towards him.

[font=fantasy]Dham flinched at the sight of her, cold fear gripping his veins and rooting him to his spot. He opened his mouth to say something, but all he could do was gape at her mutely, his throat too tight to let out a sound.
Reign smiled mirthlessly. “Oh, no need to be so dramatic,” she cooed mockingly, causing a spark of anger to cross Dham’s features. “I’m just here to drop off what you left behind.”
He shot her a suspicious look, but before he could question her, she stepped aside and two small Pearlcatcher hatchlings stepped towards him. Dham’s eyes grew wide. “What is this…?”

[font=fantasy]The Nocturne rolled her eyes. “They’re [i]yours[/i], foolish toy. And mine, I suppose, but I have no interest in toys that cannot even comprehend their own circumstances…” She chuckled lowly as she eyed the hatchlings. “Take them, or I’ll kill them here and now. The choice is yours.”
Dham stared at her in disbelief, his mind reeling. He had no memory of how this happened, but the little Pearlcatchers did resemble him in some ways, and their large eyes gazed up at him with innocent curiosity, as though they truly didn’t understand where they were, or the fact that their fate was hanging by a thread. Seeing their little faces reminded him suddenly of Siva—gods, what had ever happened to that boy? He couldn’t recall. He spent a day with the young Imperial before his captors hunted him down again and dragged him away, and that was the last he’d seen of him.
When the silence stretched for several moments, Reign lifted a claw impatiently. “Very well…” she said coolly.
But before she could move closer to the hatchlings, Dham quickly stepped in and drew them closer to himself. He shot her a venomous glare, the hatred blazing in his eyes. “You really are insane.”
The Nocturne shrugged, smirking again. “Before long, you will be as well. No sane souls can survive in this prison—I look forward to the day you realize that. I will be sure to witness the moment utter despair takes you over.”
And with that, she dashed back into the darkness and vanished. Dham glared after her for a few seconds, then turned his gaze down at the two hatchlings. He let out a long, tired sigh. “Let’s go,” he murmured reluctantly, and began leading them; to where, he knew not. All he knew was that things just kept getting worse.
