(Probably. We’re talking long-term stress too. It’s just bad… I really want it to be over, and because I can’t handle the stress, I’m even starting to have second thoughts about medical school.)

@Becfromthedead group

(Yeah, I just kind of want to get on with my life, ya know? I'm not really up for seven more years of school and then three years of residency. I might look into becoming a Physician's Assistant or something instead, but we'll see. This semester has just been really hard on me, and in a few months, I could be back to my normal, ambitious self.)

The plot I have so far:

  • The village is burned down
  • Characters trying to take refuge in another dragon village, but it seems many of them have been targeted as well
  • They find refugees hiding in a cave/rock formation and stay there briefly, but being the closest to their physical prime, they are the ones who have to do the fighting/spying
  • The characters go to spy, break up into 2 groups, and try to find out information from the "bad guys." Things go completely wrong; they leave with little to nothing, Aurelius is captured (among others if anyone wants), and they have to retreat
  • After retreating to the cave, they make sure any wounds are treated, and they try to regroup and come up with a new plan, since the people at the hideout will now likely expect more attempts to infiltrate.
  • However, captives are being tortured for information, and eventually, someone slips up and spills where the refugees are hiding
  • Luckily, around the same time, the refugees decide it's a good time to move on, and they go to inhabit an area in the northwest of the continent.
  • The "bad guys" go to where they were camped and see evidence that they were there, but are angry when they find out they're too late. They search for evidence of where they might have gone, but without luck.
  • Our characters try to figure out another angle to attack from, and they also want to get Aurelius, Mara, and any other people who have been captured, back. They get help from a nearby kingdom whose motives are sketchy at best and malevolent at worst. However, they are not dragon riders, so they may make better help. (They ultimately want military alliances with powerful dragon riders, which is a whole other problem that we're probably not going to talk about.)
  • The kingdom sends spies while refugees are left to train.
  • The "bad guys" catch word of this kingdom that has protected dragon riders and is hosting them, but our characters don't know that.
  • They try to attack the kingdom, but the kingdom is too big, and the infrastructure and military too strong for them to push through; they lose a few people, then retreat to come up with a new plan. However, they have exposed themselves.

After that, I need a little help on figuring out how this is going to resolve, but we have enough info to move on at least. If anyone wants to suggest changes, that's fine. Subplots are good. Plot twists are also fun, just ask first. Also any of you are free to make new characters any time for plot stuff, just run them by me first I guess?

@ElderGod-Carrots

(I don’t know how this’ll fit in but I have a character who’s a dragon-shifter and is like the prince of his race. Maybe he could be help the baddies that are attacking when they come back with a new plan or they could help the good guys, idk, just an idea)

@Becfromthedead group

(I don’t feel like he’d quite fit in, as dragons and humans are completely separate races with no overlap, and there isn’t really magic exactly. But if you want to add a character who’s royalty, that’s fine, as there are kingdoms and such scattered throughout the continent. You can put him on either side though. That part is up to you.)

@StarkSpangledMayflower_Mad_Elder

(I feel like Cerulean and Lucky can both use some character development. Maybe I'll have them related. Cerulean can manipulate darkness thanks to his dragon who created a blood bond. Maybe his aunties wont let him hurt those he cares about and he "unlocks" memories that remind him that he knew Lucky and lived in their village years ago?)

@Becfromthedead group

(People don't have "powers" exactly, but I'm sure there's a way to work something out there. I definitely like the idea of them being related, or at least knowing each other. More drama.)

@Becfromthedead group

(Okay, cool. I'm a little busy at the moment, and it might be that way for a bit longer, but I'm about to finish the semester, so we can get started back up then, maybe sooner.)
