I once sent [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3304054/58#post_56694100]Sadko[/url] off to a Plague nest to hatch a nest with some dragon. One of the dragons I named [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/41104045]Illarion[/url]. I guess I sold him, and I really wish I hadn’t. In retrospect, I should’ve asked to buy him back as soon as I realized I regretted selling him, but it’s okay. Lessons learned. So at some point I bred Sadko again in hopes of getting a dragon kinda similar to Illarion.
As you can see, I didn’t really succeed. But Aleksei is the result of that breeding, and you know? He’s alright! He takes after his father in that he’s a hunter of sorts, and he also inherited his Gembond condition which prevents him from flying. But it’s okay, because Aleksei doesn’t need to fly. He sets his traps and waits around for some unsuspecting whatever-those-pelts-are to walk into them.
A true wilderness survivor. You’d think the inability to fly would make this harder - and I’m sure it does. I imagine most dragons just fly away from the wilderness. But Aleksei can’t do that, and that makes him strong.
Show me a dragon with [b]Gembond[/b]! The gene.

Gembond! The gene.
I'm honestly shocked - I don't seem to have any dragons with gembond anymore. It's weird, because I really do like gembond! It's a fun gene.
So I hope it is OK to share my plans to gene a dragon with gembond, as soon as I can breed a triple-sand male water dragon. I have parents that [i]should [/i]make it fairly easy, but no luck so far... he's a recreation of a dragon I sold years ago and have regretted selling ever since. (High five for regrets today, lol, I feel you. Aleksei is really cool though!) The person who has him now appears to be inactive, alas, so I'm not holding out much hope of ever getting him back. But that's OK, I shall build a new man out of sand and gene scrolls :D
Here's [b]Arrakis![/b] I have a beautiful accent waiting for him that makes gembond look extra-sparkly.

[center]I have one permababy with gembond! It's a good gene but there's better ones imo. Keel is kind of the 2.0 version in a way. Aleksei is cool! I love how every weapon/tool ends up being bigger than the fae wearing it. Faes used to be my favorite breed when I first started playing.
Anyways. this is Artemis!

Due to my oldie collecting I have a lot of gembond despite never thinking to scry with it. It can be really useful for plant and earthy dergs! Sonna wears hers as rough lichen covered bark, in her role as an ancient old apple tree dryad.

[center]I love your lad's outfit! [emoji=familiar heart size=1]
This is my custom progenitor, Oka! She's had gembond for a few years now and is still sporting it currently. ^^

that skin is so cool!
With a little luck I glimpsed the skin number in the mouseover text
13553 which led me to the name Accent: Barufo's Gift but that was the easy part, how do I find one when there are none on the AH?!?

[center]Aleksei definitely looks like a wilderness survivor and 'wavy' at the same time! He makes me think of waterbenders from avatar for some reason :)
Warden is my ice rep and I think gembond really makes his tert color pop!

I know, right? It's one of my faves. It was designed by a user named Snastle, and their info does say they'll reprint most of their skins & accents. Unfortunately they don't appear to be active anymore; their last forum post was from 2022 and they were selling most of their dragons at that time. Still, could be worth sending them a message! You never know, they might check back.
Sparkly stuff is my jam though, and I'm learning to do digital art. I'm definitely not planning on copying anything, but I'd love to try and make some different tertiary-accentuating accents one day. We'll have to see!

I love Aleksei's outfit, it brings out the red of his eyes so well!
I used to have so much gembond. Aloran is, I believe, the oldest dragon I still have with it - I just can't imagine him without his sparkly gemstone accents. It gives such good [i]texture[/i] in a way that few other terts do.

What a cool little guy! Love his outfit ^^
Here is my dragon, Vergil! He's a stern tactician that was a former mercenary!
