GOOD NIGHT SWEET DRAGON PRINCE... (And you too Rook, you're a trooper lol)

♜ [I cannot believe I am awake rn never doubt my love for you all.]

[xkleos-blog]

♜ [Alright, gonna close questions there.]

[I’m honestly astounded by the amount of love the dragon man and I have gotten tonight, and I’ve had several people come to me and make me realize he made a bit more of a mark than I’d thought. Nerdy side-project or not, I’m really honored that he was able to gain the notice and investment that he has, and I only hope that I can do just as well on the next projects I’ll be doing as I’ve done here. If you’ve enjoyed this blog even half as much as I’ve enjoyed running it surrounded by your company and support, I’ve done my job here pretty damned well.]

⤧ ‶Of course. There always is, but that is the nature of moving on.″

Volga; what is the most painful event you can recall? And, what is your most cherished memory?

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶The first death I faced, the one that earned me that black scar.″

→ ‶I’ve lived for thousands of years, fought battles beyond count, and no pain has ever compared. The thrill of first discovering my true form was still worth that suffering.″

♞who was the hardest foe to beat

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶The chosen hero, and all the divine aid he’s afforded. In four lifetimes I have faced one of that bloodline, but I have only slain him once.″

♜ [Like legit the hardest foe I’ve ever been up against is the biological need for rest like do you have any idea how much I could get done if I never got tired I’ve thought a lot about this.]

[xkleos-blog]

♞ ok but how good was midna ( I HAD TOO ROOK IM NOT EVEN SORRY like this is the first one i ask. priorities are 100% in order )

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶Her power and dedication in battle were magnificent, and she had a true air of leadership, but seldom fought fair. She was harder to trust than she was to best … though her companionship was well worth it.″

♜ [Idk why the fuck you’re asking us both this it goes right over Volga’s head and I could only answer it in my dreams.]

[xkleos-blog]

That's exactly how I expected him to interpret that actually. Lmao

♜ [Glad to be of service]

[xkleos-blog]

Volga! How big is it?

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶I’d estimate … nine feet and six inches.″ He regarded the hand-forged spear with some measure of pride. ‶But I see no point in measuring it.″

[xkleos-blog]

[on mobile so can't put symbol but question for Volga] You're leaving for good? Where are you going?

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶To my caves, and my kin. It was not my desire to mingle with humans, and their conflicts no longer take ‘no’ for an answer. I hope I’m never made to return.″

[xkleos-blog]

♞ PLEASE WE NEED MORE ORIGIN STORY

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶I had my throat slit by a Dinolfos and slept with an incarnation of the Demon King. There, you’ve been told more.″

♜ [Surprise surprise I have too much idle thinking time on my hands and Volga’s origin story diverged from the canon so much that I pretty much plan to strip it bare and turn it into its own thing (it’ll work a whole lot better that way). So I’m not gonna dump the whole mess here, especially not while I’m clearly too tired to be typing, but by all means, follow my personal or portfolio blog for upcoming content from the new and improved version!]

[xkleos-blog]

♜ [You lot all show up when I'm too tired to type straight I see how you’re playing this]

[xkleos-blog]

⤧ ;What is Volga's greatest regret?

From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

⤧ ‶When first I took up a blade and became a soldier, I fought for Hyrule. I fought deceitfully, for a long time, convinced it was for the good of my kingdom. My greatest regrets are the battles I should not have won.″

The Final Challenge

[I hit 333 followers while I was gone, and in honor of Zelda’s sacred number, both the character and the player will be practicing full disclosure before we depart. From now until this blog closes at the end of the day, all questions will be answered with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.]

UPDATE: Gone Battling

♜ [I mentioned this might be the case a month or two ago, and now that the academic year is over it is confirmed to be so. For the time being I will be CLOSING the dragonblog and venturing off to other things.]

[Not gonna delete, it’ll stick around for archival purposes and I’ll keep my inbox open and check + answer messages for the next few days.]

[After that! You can get in touch with me on my personal blog, ROBOTROOK, or follow my art on my portfolio blog, EXROOK. I’ll be opening commissions and starting new projects, including but not limited to a small novella game ... ish .... thing(?), over the summer. If you liked what you saw here you should catch me at one of the above two places for more of the same (and hopefully better).]

[And if we’re mutuals and you feel so inclined please send me your Skype or ask for mine! Even if you feel we didn’t interact much, I didn’t get the chance to know you guys as well as I would have liked to, so add me by all means.]

[I’ll be doing one final inbox game for the hell of it, so if you have any unfinished business with dragonman feel free to stick around for the day.]

[It’s been a pleasure roleplaying here, and I hope to see you all around.]

Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it.
