Toxie gave Lyra a life! - A lot of coli battles and I'll be honest I zoned out for most of it. Berry, Apple, and Moria are level 8 from the large quest! - skipping lore in favor of my bigger writing project I have motivation for today, this stuff is rare for me. Will say that tomorrow's post will be another Manik letter, though

Toxie: you get a life! and you get a life! EVERYONE! GETS! A LIFE!!!!

Both me and Ripley, my Mother, read your letter, and furthermore the letter Yseult sent us. It's nice to hear that we have family out there. And, trust me, I'm dying to see you too. I look a lot like my mother, who thanks you for the compliment. My wings are a lot paler, and with a red, starry hide. The stones on my wings are even brighter of a red. I'm.. not great at describing myself, though. Combat is more of my go-to, I'm a Knight where I live. There's a lot going on here, too. Being a Knight never has a dull moment. Just today, I had to break up an argument between two of the dragons I work with. I fight creatures all the time. It's nice to know I'm making a difference. I'm far late writing this, but best of luck with your training. Remember that rest is just as important as the work you do. Ripley and I are sorrowed by the attack on Yseult. Over anything, though, we're glad you're alright. It sounded really dangerous. You're always free to write. Or cry, for that matter. Taking care of yourself isn't just rest. [right]Your Brother, Manik.[/i] [/right] Manik tapped his claw. "I feel like it's too short, Ripley." The older sighed, shrugging. "I'd assumed she knows by now, but honestly, I wouldn't want to test it..." He nodded silently, and got the letter ready to send. [/font][/size][/columns] [rule] Rattle, Haunt, Tropics, and Gust are level 8! Toxie gave Malvina a life! Ottilie gave Toxie a life! Ottilie and Mug are level 8! Breeze is level 9! - Bloody duel between Benitoite and Kintsugi. They both lose a life! - Reeling from.. a few events. Want to write though so only doing one pull. As always, check out [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3140606/1]this Kingdomlocke[/url] for some more more context!

AAAAAA! HELLO MANIK AND THANKEE *bundles up the letter for the post* And hullo Ripley! You are a lovely lady. <3

I will be writing on the post for later today. Still itching for those last few jobs.. I promise you I rolled the hatchling's name before the events lol. I know I have a scribe but I am lacking name creativity.

Breeze was pacing across the crystal floor, footsteps eerily silent for the force behind each step. "Thank goodness I knew what poison they used this time- I've been doing some research, ever since.. you know." Strongwing dipped her head to the royal. "I've already launched investigations. Manik and Tumble are searching, and soon, I will be too." Breeze's dull eyes glinted with something, something that Strongwing thought was just short of madness, as she faced the head knight straight-on. "And you [i]trust them?[/i]" The mirror stood for a second, choosing her next words carefully. "They're exhausted after yesterday, sure, but they're both under my Command. I've seen through with their training, and I'm the one in charge of their duties. If they unloyal, that is a direct reflect of me, your Highness." Breeze thought about this answer for a while. Strongwing stood stiff, waiting for her response. "And you'd put your life on it?" Strongwing breath caught for a moment. She did trust the other knights, truly. However, to risk her life on it seemed excessive, especially with their history. A new face and another with a traitorous line of family? Breeze's wings twitched. The knight's hesitance didn't go unnoticed. "My life is tied with another," Strongwing answered, "so it might not be my life to give. But yes, I do." Breeze nodded, turning around. "Go join the search, Strongwing. Don't worry about Kintsugi, as well. If you are lying to me, I'll have Rattle tend to him." A chill danced down her spine as Strongwing nodded, and exited. She never thought the Queen was ever this paranoid before. [/font][/size][/columns] [rule] Neasa grew up today! Storm and Emlyn are level 5, Avid is level 4, and Dapper is level 3! Toxie gave Rattle a life! Ottilie gave Storm a life! Begonias gave Emlyn a life! Strongwing & Kintsugi laid a 3-egg nest! - Breeze survived being poisoned, but is unable to find who did it. Welcome Band the Spiral. Strongwing, Rattle, and Malvina went for a hunting trip! Emerald Webwing: Mug +1 Life Zephyr Acuity Fragment: Ripley +1 Life Malvina lost a life. - Storm: Alchemist (Needed this!!) Emlyn: Artist - Pinkerton & Crim might be giving me the final push I need to finish this locke up..

Instead, Castor pounced on it with feline-like form. "So, let me get throw straight," Moria turned her gaze to her sister. Ottilie was pacing across the nursery floor. "You've somehow managed to deathbond. With a hatchling." Moria shrugged. "Yep, that's exactly it." Ottilie scoffed, "And how do you know this, exactly?" The coatl blinked. "I don't know, its just a thing that happens, Ottilie. Why am I being interrogated-" The mirror sighed. "Because I want to find a way to fix it. This is.. This is dangerous. Maybe Toxie can help, she's been in a deathbond before-" Moria rolled her eyes. "Rumor on the street says Toxie didn't even know it was a death bond. I don't need fixing, Ottilie. It's fine, really." "Rumor on the street is also that Avid poisoned her ex-lover." "And [i]she probably did[/i]." "It is- Ok. Doesn't matter." Ottilie was becoming increasingly frustrated, and Moria just stared on blankly. "Overthrowing attempts aside. I just.. don't want to say I told you so. Don't want to be able to." Moria faked a pouty face. "Awh, does little baby sister worry for my safety?" Dropping the act quickly, she added, "It wasn't like this was my choice anyways. You do enough, Ottilie. Relax a bit." The mirror rolled her eyes. Whether in a playful or annoyed sense, Moria wasn't about to make out. "I'm not going to [i]not [/i]think about it, you know? But, fine. I'll at least leave you alone about it." "That's a good place to start." [/font][/size][/columns] [rule] Avid and Dapper are level 5, and Neasa is level 2! Ottilie gave Avid a life! - Avid: [b]Royal[/b] Dapper: Name scribe Not again.. Avid does not survive, rolling a 3 twice, and Breeze remains on the throne. - Moria & Castor are now deathbonded! Emlyn rolls for a new job. She gets a Familiar caretaker! I only need [i]one more job!! [/i] Gust and Summerspirit have a 3 egg nest. - I'd be sad to see this 'locke go, but honestly super excited to finish it, as well! There other lockes I've been looking at, after all. Avid is rather pretty, so at level 5, ill give her 24 hours until I exalt her. Feel free to claim her in that time.

[/sup][/font] [/size][sub][img]https://i.postimg.cc/dQxS5skW/Headpiece-right-60x60.png[/img][/sub][/center] [center][item= Small Block of Granite][item=Crushed Petals][item=Seabed Pincher] [size=1][i] Assassin Discovered! | Studied the blade | 30-40 matches[/center] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/43s8Ynq3/Odds-2-too.png[/img] [/center] [columns][img]https://i.postimg.cc/TYmMmL7j/Vert-divider-640.png[/img][nextcol][font=Book Antiqua][size=4] "I don't know if you want to be here for this, Toxie." Rattle's warning was solid, genuine, as she started at the spiral tying herself in and out of knots. Rattle wasn't fully confident. Honestly, she never was. But, something like this made her nervous. The guardian knew how much this meant to Toxie. The spiral grinned, "Why wouldn't I?" Rattle's stomach lurched, another wave of nerves washing over her. She gave a brief nod of understanding, and turned to her work. It took way too much effort to hide a deep breath or two she needed to calm her thoughts down. She had yet to touch the ritual that brought Toxie back, but even still some of the ingredients had gone stale and scattered around. Rattle focused on fixing that up first, adding fresh feathers and cleaning up glass-like shards. Now came the candles. She lit the ones on the left, opposite of the ones that were out when Toxie was brought back. (Rattle still couldn't pinpoint [i]that [/i]mystery.) Rattle held her breath, staring at the ritual. Then the haunting figure that formed, filled up as smoke, and suddenly became animated as more. The guardian sighed in relief, thankful for how smooth it was. An Aberration, sandy-like mane a stark contrast to the darker body. No major patterns, at least none that Rattle could spot before Toxie flung herself at the ancient with a squeal. "Toxie, maybe you should-" Rattle's eyes lingered towards the ancient, the two heads looking around numbly. Taking in the account of their surroundings, no doubt, but possibly wildly jarred by the time they spent in whatever is beyond. He lifted a talon to touch where his mate from the crags wrapped around him, gentle. A hug, of sorts. The right's head was hoarse, full of emotion and uncertainty, ".. Toxie?" Rattle saw herself out, then, waiting just outside of her workspace. She let the two be emotional together, as she could barely imagine the stress they've been through. While eager, Rattle assumed Toxie would fetch her if something was wrong. (As she exited, Rattle caught a different voice, higher pitched but still full of emotion. "That's one way to travel across Sornieth, I'd say.") Something clicked inside Rattle that day. A charge, of sorts. Not a person, place, or a thing. An activity, something that made her feel more whole. To reunite the lovers of tragic endings. [/font][/size][/columns] [rule] Neasa and Honour are level 4! Toxie gave Ray a life! Begonias gave Rattle a life! - Griaule was discovered as an Assassin! No more Librarian.. add that to the list of needed jobs. Welcome, Dolan! He joins us at level 5, and comes from, you guessed it, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3140606/1#post_3140606]this locke[/url]. Tumble, Honour, and Neasa go brave the woodland path. Honour and Neasa are level 5! - Dolan: Fortune Teller Honour: Ambassador!! Neasa: Nesting helper - local idiot had driving courses to do (Thats me. I'm the idiot.) Sorry for the lack of uploads, they basically took up the whole day :'D. All my writing projects are behind, but hey, I can at least start this back up again. Rolled a d6 for Quest & Fizz for some fairness, they survived. Also Ah! I'm going to miss the Librarian + Scout combo.. but we got ambassador! needed that Both nests hatch tomorrow!
