Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

R’nd couldn’t stop smiling at Phinarion’s enthusiasm. It made him recall the day he had been Searched and the freedom and possibilities that moment brought him. It freed him from a life of misery –in his opinion, though he knew he was probably being dramatic – as he had no real love for the seacraft but to live and work with dragons? That was something that called to him. Returning North had been such a mix of emotions for him on a personal level with seeing his family again but he only had hope and even excitement for everyone in the North to see dragons again. He wanted children to feel what he had, be in awe of dragonriders, and one day dream of being one themselves. He had no idea what it would have been like to grow up believing all the dragons had died and to never have seen their beauty.
Phinarion was everything R’nd wanted the new generation to be and it filled him with hope that given enough time, more and more people would come around and be happy with the reappearance of dragons and want to be among their ranks once more. The fact that Ayyonth had been the one to help give this boy a chance at a new life that he seemed more than ready to have filled R’nd with pride and he looked forward to future Searches all the more.
“An excellent idea. You don’t want to get stuck with the last bed that ends up beside a known snorer or in a cold draft,” R’nd vaguely remembered his time in the Candidates’ barracks considering he had been Searched only months before the plague struck. He didn’t have any issues with making friends given how much of a social butterfly he was and growing up on the shore had him used to cool breezes at night and even strange smells. But he also knew how much kids could be horrible to each other and he wanted to make sure Phinarion was settled into a good location both for sleeping comfortably and safely surrounded by good people, not those with an attitude and likely destined to be brownriders. Even as he had that thought R’nd frowned at himself. Not all brownriders were dicks but it seemed the ones that were jerks were the loudest ones and most noticed.
R’nd led Phinarion to the barracks, pointing out a few random things as they went, knowing if he didn’t give the boy a more detailed tour of those areas soon that someone else would. When they got to the room, R’nd was pleased with the selection. Seemed there was a little bit of everything open from top or bottom bunks and their locations. He saw a few Candidates lounging around and greeted them all by name and a smile. “All right. If you like a breeze at night, take one closer to the entrance but if you like to be warm, go to the back. Once you found the perfect spot, I’ll show you the baths, dining cavern, and anywhere else you’d like to see today. Oh and ask questions as well.”
