Entry Fourteen

Previous Post | Master Post | Next Post

House of Thistles:

The nest has hatched and I now have two delightful daughters. I am so happy and so proud that they have hatched in pretty good health. I would have dreaded it had they not hatched in anything less.

The elder of the two, Joikila, especially shows some promise.

~Jodijo, Fourth Heir to the House of Thistles

House of Thorns:

I've had two daughters. They aren't blessed like me. They are surely blessed, just not blessed in the same way that I have been.

I only hope that they cannot disappoint the Gladekeeper's will. The pressure for me to be the best is crushing. It all is depending on me. What sort of dragon could I be if I fail at this despite the Gladekeeper's own Blessing.

~Kalvese The Blessed, Fourth Heir to the House of Thistles.

Entry Thirteen

Previous post | Master Post | Next Post

House of Thistles:

I have nested and there are two eggs. It’s not a bad number, the two hatchlings will likely grow close to each other. I hope it does not come as a disappointment if one gets selected over the other, that is the nature of how my line rules.

If it is any consolation, at the very least the figurative crown we wear shouldn’t bee to heavy for them. Hopefully with each coming generation things should get easier and better for them. That’s all any dragon could hope for, a brighter future.

~Jodijo, Fourth Heir to the House of Thistles

House of Thorns:

I have nested with the most suitable and adequate mate that could be found. Two eggs are a fine number, neither every nest nor every dragon will come to bear a full five. It is interesting, I can’t bring myself to care more about this then I should. I am a blessing unto our clan. A meager and small blessing perhaps, but a blessing nonetheless.

I should hope that this is good. I hope that I can live up to the legacy of the leaders before me, to the expectations I imagine the Gladekeeper herself has of me. After all, everything must weigh upon my decisions, my choices. I hope this meager nest is not a sign of an approaching ill fate for this clan. Everybody before me has worked so hard to get so far. I must not mess it up now. Not that I would, anyways. I am blessed by the Gladekeeper. Surely that must account for something.

~Kalvese The Blessed, Fourth Heirto the House of Thistles.

Entry Twelve

Previous post | Master Post | Next Post.

House of Thistles:

My heir has grown and come of age to inherit the clan, and I hope he will grow and prosper.

I am so proud of Jodijo. He is bright and keen and I can see great things in our clan’s future from him. While the clan is meager, we are driven and devout. He will take things in a good direction, and I have faith in things to go well.

~Zanril The Blissful, Third Heir to the House of Thistles.

House of Thorns:

I have done everything right, and the Gladkeeper herself honors this by giving this clan a truly blessed heir to inherit this. I have worked so hard, and surely, with this blessing, what I have worked for must be correct. 

The clan will be glorious, and Kalvese will lead it into prosperity.

~Calathea The Paragon, Third Heir to the House of Thorns

Entry Eleven

House of Thistles: Entry Eleven

We are doing okay. Three promising children have emerged from their nests, with the Ridgeback being the one that seems most magically inclined of the three, as well as being the physically strongest of them. 

Already I can see things becoming more prosperous in the future. Surely it must be a sign.

~Zanril, Third Heir to the House of Thistles.

House of Thorns: Entry Eleven

We are truly blessed and Prosperous. The eldest hatchling shows this and his endless potential through his eyes alone. We will prosper, and it will be glorious. 

~Calathea, Third Heir to the House of Thorns.

Housekeeping: Mild adjustment to the rules. Just that Heirs with Primal eyes may go into the hibernal den rather than face exaltion. Didn’t give it too much thought when writing the rules, but now that I’ve bred a dragon with primal eyes (and my first one nonetheless), I’ve decided maybe I should be a bit more flexible with that rule with regards to rarer eye types.

That being said, getting a primal hatchling as an heir really put the Thorns ahead of the Thistles. It’s a bummer because they aren’t a triple-gened guy like the third hatchling of that nest, but hopefully I will be able to at least have the final dragons be triple-gened.

Entry Ten

House of Thistles: Entry Ten

I have nested with the mate I have taken.

It is a modest nest, but I don’t doubt the potential that any of these three have. They must certainly, as I would hope that we are doing right by our parents and lineage by continuing to pursue magical talent throughout our endeavors while leading a sizeable clan by ourselves.

I have done nothing for the best and I have proven to at least be talented enough to have my parents’ time. I hope that these three will not need the same sort of expectation, as we will succeed.

~Zanril, Third Heir to the House of Thistles.

House of Thorns: Entry Ten

I think the Gladekeeper smiles upon me and my prosperous clan.

Three eggs. At least one more than my own nest. I’m quite happy that they will come to grow in a prosperous clan and will not have to deal with any issues, like competing for the title of heir. Still, only good things can come from the hard work and the prosperity my clan has in it’s name.

~Calathea, Third Heir to the House of Thorns.

Entry Nine

House of Thistles: Entry Nine

My heir has come of age, and I couldn’t be more proud.

He has grown into his powers and into his role with surprising ease. He seems competent enough to lead, and quite eager to do so. He’s got many great ideas to help our clan truly prosper. All in all, of the two children he’s taken to it like a fish would to water. I know that when I am gone, the house and the clan will be in great claws.

~Kelsul the Reliable, Second Heir to the House of Thistles

House of Thorns: Entry Nine

My heir has come of age, and and it is quite the joyous occasion.

She is a bit soft-spoken, like me, but she is quite charming and kind. I can see her becoming a great leader in the future, and fit to be my heir. She is sharp, and her skills with magic far outside those of her sibling. I hope it does not hurt her, but I would think her skills and general disposition make her the better leader of the two. In any event, I can see her uplifting the house and the clan once I’m gone.

~Yeni the Quiet, Second Heir to the House of Thorns

Housekeeping: The legacy is still quite close at this point in time, with there not being a particular house that’s managing to pull ahead. If it weren’t for the fact that I simply don’t have the lair space for it, I might consider pushing it out to twenty generations rather than ten. I similarly don’t really have the time between other things i’m planning to do as well as real-life obligations.

Still, the scores are currently at a net 79 point draw. The thorns got 32 points in their nest, but with how well the thistles have been doing in general, 27 points was enough to get a draw.

Entry Eight

Previous Post | Master Post | Next Post

House of Thistles: Entry Eight

My nest has hatched. I hope that they have potential to make up for the fact that there's only two of them.

The eldest of the two, Zanril, shows the most promise of the pair. His magic is very strong, and I think with proper training, it would grow stronger than mine, or perhaps even my predecessor's predecessor. It has been most helpful that the clan the house runs has been doing well enough to hire somebody to appraise their magical ability for sure.

Whatever the case may be, I am proud of my two sons.

~Kelsul, Second Heir of the house of Thistles

House of Thorns: Entry Eight

After tending to the nest, the two eggs have finally hatched.

After tending to the nest, the two eggs have finally hatched.

Two delightful girls, both showing great magical potential as well as the energy and quick-wittedness that may come to serve them well in the future, regardless of what may happen. Calathea, the younger of the two, shows much more promise for this than her older sister, but nonetheless I shall help the two with their magic when the time comes. It's especially nice that our house's clan managed to accrue the resources to get someone to properly appraise their magical potential.

Whatever may happen, I know that these two daughters of mine show promise.

~Yeni, Second Heir of the house of Thorns

House keeping: Sorry for the slightly late update. The 2nd update will come later this week. School gets busy and all of that.
