What a week, sheesh!

Third quill pen broke. Couple of lame group projects at the Academy due. Weird, dank fog for days - where's the sun??

At least my Alchemy & Potions class is interesting.

Ugh, I don't feel so good.

Were you here yesterday, @thebluewizard.bsky.social ?

I don't really remember. What day is it? Isn't school starting soon? Or, do i come report to you at The Tower?

Hey @thebluewizard.bsky.social we are almost done the bridge designs and have even installed the first one over the Wandybruck tributary. Wanna come see it?

Also, do you have any more of that enercorn potion? I think we might need to pull an all-nighter to get these bridges in by the deadline!

@thebluewizard.bsky.social

Where are you? I swung by the Tower and the The Great Hall, but no signs of you and Fox.

I'm enjoying the Magineering course this semester! It's pretty intensive, though.

Just wondering- you have any more of that Enercorn tincture?

I am just getting back from Drundle now from visiting my parents. I have to give a talk to the whole school when??

@thebluewizard.bsky.social I barged into Dean Umbrella’s office to demand that he respect your authority as HoC and let me back into the program — he had no idea what I was talking about!

Surely you spoke with him about my enrolment? Term has started already!!

@thebluewizard.bsky.social Dean Umbrella won’t let me enrol! 😤

I said I missed last semester while we were climbing Mount Khrumbh so we could find Ruby and clear our names. He just laughed and said I should retake Persuasion Magiks 101!

I’m thinkin you flex your new title and set him straight!? 👏👏

@thebluewizard.bsky.social Ruby and I took care of all the serpents except one. We just saw Silusa riding it… she had a saddle?

They slithered out of the duck pond and dove into the blood canals, they’re gone.

Oh well, wow what a day! 😄
April 28, 2025 at 7:45 AM
Did you see that, @thebluewizard.bsky.social ?!

We did a big loop around the mountains and saw these red clouds back over the village. This made Ruby Dragon so mad and we came back and did a second pass!

I could hardly see as we DOVE down, blood rain in my eyes!!

OMG i cannot believe what I just experienced. @thebluewizard.bsky.social did you see that?? Did you see what we did??
April 26, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Hurrah! I'm not a criminal. Thank you, @thebluewizard.bsky.social and @therubydragon.bsky.social!!

But... hmm.. you should come check out what's happening down at the village.

Where is this water coming from?? Why are there.. sea serpents in the 'canals' (streets)??
April 26, 2025 at 1:23 AM
Hi mom and dad, we are on our way back to see the Council. Ruby Dragon is going to help clear our names!

Can't wait to see you for Pantry Day!

Maybe you can come up from Drundle to stay with me?
April 21, 2025 at 2:48 AM
I got to give a dragon a very special gift today!

A magic box from a mysterious Minstrel @mountainminstrel.bsky.social

I think it's fair to say Ruby Dragon was overjoyed, circling up above the clouds, lighting up sky after opening it.

Pretty cool!
April 19, 2025 at 5:44 AM
I haven't seen The Green Wizard since yesterday... I think he might have left?

I don't consider myself a religious person but even I need to thank The Big Tree for this incredible blessing 🙏
April 6, 2025 at 11:35 PM
@thebluewizard.bsky.social you must be out flying with Ruby Dragon…

I know you think I’m just whining but I need to try sounding the alarm one last time - The Green Wizard is up to something!

For one thing I’m certain he cast a Chubbing spell on me.

We've made a little home in the dragon's den, entering through a huge ledge in the side of the mountain.

It's pleasant! not what I expected.

No huge piles of gold or treasure (just a little).

Lots of piles, though!

Piles of vegetables, rugs, bones, wood, stones...

I've learned so much about dragons. Our friend's name is Ruby Dragon.

Ruby Dragon is ancient - older than the mountain we are on - AND they're a vegetarian!

Ruby Dragon says that eating meat cuts short the joy and the mess associated with the struggle of life, which they observe from afar. 🐉
April 3, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Hi mom and dad, please know I am fine. I am having a great time, actually. We have been hanging out with a dragon!

Don't fret - they say they are an artist and seem nice!

If you get any letters, they are not from me! The Green Wizard seems obsessed with impersonating and discrediting me.
April 1, 2025 at 3:10 AM
@thebluewizard.bsky.social I know you're occupied with Ruby Dragon but @thegreenwizard.bsky.social ate all our food. And he keeps calling me names, like 'beef' and 'hammy'.
March 25, 2025 at 9:40 PM
Ruby Dragon rescued us from the Grimsen Owl! 🐉

It's a bit harrowing, but beats the monotony of the Academy!

I hope the dragon has some food because The Green Wizard ate all ours. 🙄
March 25, 2025 at 6:14 AM
@thebluewizard.bsky.social uh you should come up here… the Green Wizard just tried to cast a spell on these eggs but it bounced right back and got him in the leg…

Now his leg is… stone. He’s not even really upset though he’s just muttering under his breath.

It's such a clear afternoon, I can see from the nest on this cliff all the way to King Tarallel's castle.

If it weren't for the impending threat of being consumed by owlings I'd be relaxed.

Where are you, anyway, @thebluewizard.bsky.social ??
I think we should get out of here soon!!
March 16, 2025 at 1:19 AM
The Grimsen Owl has been kinda nice to us...

...but I think she just wants us nice and healthy so her chicks can eat us when they hatch 🙄
March 13, 2025 at 4:08 AM
Whelp...
In a Grimsen Owl's nest.

Waiting to be a meal for some unhatched chicks in the eggs next to us, apparently.

Just another day in the life of a wizard's apprentice!
March 10, 2025 at 10:16 PM
I've never seen @thegreenwizard.bsky.social do anything remotely athletic, but he is doing a pretty good job of keeping these frost rascals in check!

These nasty guys are impish little cackling ice-goblin things. They seem to think everything is hilarious but also really want to eat us.
