Dragon Cave - Valentines in the Cave

Well, first off, happy Valentine's Day to everyone (and to us Singles, like myself, Happy Singles Awareness Day!). As usual, when we talk Valentine's Day, it means a new Holiday Dragon is dropping in the cave. So, as I did, as always, I headed to the cave around 9:00 PM last night, so I could get ready for the madness to begin.

Beforehand, like always, I had to check up on my dragons.

First off is the Golden Wyvern gifted to me by my friend Saori_Nightstar, who had gifted me it earlier. It had matured into a male. I'd already decided, based on his lineage, that he deserved an Egyptian name... but what? Then I thought back to one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh cards, "Horus the Black Flame Dragon", and thought "That would be a great name, just change it a bit." Thus, this is how Horus the Golden Flame Dragon got his name.


Next, I started to hunt in the different Biomes in the cave, starting at the coast. At one point, there was just 18 people (myself included) waiting on eggs, but I would never in my faintest dreams think I would be catching a wishlist egg that day. Then again, with new eggs coming around the corner, not many people were grabbing.

Then, I saw it... A rare Paper Dragon egg. I thought I'd try for it but figured that someone else would get it, so I clicked it... There was a lot of lagging at that time, but I was HOPING I'd get it after the bad day I had at work... And before I knew it, I had the "Get Code"... and the egg on my scroll! I was so happy and ecstatic I got it... Maybe my "Lucky Vampire" WAS really lucky!


Now, I did get a couple more eggs after that, a Moonstone, Moonlight, Cinder (sent that one back later), and a Finned Dragon, but I told myself that until I grabbed my two Valentine's Eggs, I wouldn't be getting any more eggs for a bit.

11:00 PM CST (12:AM EST for you folks on the east coast) came, and the mayhem began. I decided that since I'd had my luck on the coast (after getting that Paper Dragon earlier), I'd stay there, so the first big drop of the beautiful eggs (though I wouldn't know until later, since the forums lagged a lot) came and went... Two more small ones I believed happened at the 5 and 10 mins after, but I didn't see them (New eggs always go fast when they release, especially if they're one-day only eggs).

   

Then, the 15 minute drop happened. Figuring I'd not get my eggs this time around, I was surprised when the amount of people waiting had dropped significantly. Most had gotten their two eggs in the first drops, you see, so I clicked on the eggs as fast as I could. I missed a few, but before I knew it, I had my pair of eggs as well. Now, everyone has their eyes on TJ's two eggs (since his always hatch first) to see what the new dragons will look like.

Another thing that started this year was giving of valentines (why they didn't start this earlier, I'll never know), so I sent one to Saori_Nightstar as a bit of a thank you. Later, I sent another valentine to the one who had gifted me my first Golden Wyvern and one also to MysticTiger, who'd glomp gifted me my first set of Tinsels. Then, before I knew it, I had to head to bed for I could get up for work the next day for some fun as well (since we got our Valentine's Day things we'd ordered that day).

Well, come today, I got an alert on my cell phone that Saori_Nightstar had sent me a personal message, but I couldn't see what it was, so I had to wait until I got home to see it... I'd be pleasantly surprised when I'd get home.

There, waiting for me to teleport to my scroll, was a Valentine's gift of another Paper Dragon egg! Unlike my first one, this one had already started to hatch, so I'd get to see the new one before my other one hatched. This one would be frozen, as my first-caught one would be allowed to grow up. I've already decided on names for the little ones as well.

So, it's been a great day for me so far in Dragon Cave, and I hope that everyone else is having a great Valentine's Day as well! Take care, everyone!
