Drachorn Apprentice

[Burns]

It's better to burn out than to fade away

 

Today, as i climbed out of my Lair to check the latest news, i've realized that i started doing the one thing i never wanted: Despite my name, I'm fading away.

 

Once upon a time, i've had discussions with Morgana le'Fey about the meaning of life, i've forged plan to sabotage head contests after hearing that Amoran should get a second chance just because MRV and Lighty played better than her, i've been the last Wodin and extorted Mur to close the account, i went to MP6 and put a 180 hour movelock on Akasha within 5 days of deciding that i'd like to do that, i won quests, i made quests... I used to be an adventurer, illusionist, and daredevil, and i dare say that i was amongst the best.

 

But today, as i stepped out on my front porch and read the papers about some wanna-be, whom i wouldn't even send to fetch my bathwater for fear that he might unknowingly draw it from Khal's chamberpot, getting named King of the Maze, i took a sip of drachorn tea and moved on without the smallest of shrugs.

 

This is not my world anymore. I've played my part, and i'm looking forward to being the grumpy old master, sitting in my comfortable rocking chair, and silently laugh about the quarrels of the kids playing at being king in the yard... But there is one more thing that must be done, one last scene to be played before my script ends.

 

I've been the Drachorn Guy for a long time, but to become a true Drachorn Master, i need an apprentice. And with this thread, i want to announce that a plan that has been made over a year ago is now being set in motion: I will pick an apprentice, who might hopefully one day be my successor. I will give them shinies, both from my inventory and from the lair, i will try to introduce them to the right people, and i will try to make them be almost as good as me, so that, once i'm out of the way, they might become the best drachorn master MD ever saw.

 

To find one, i'll start a series of little 'quests', which are barely even quests in a mechanical sense, but which will hopefully reveal the best apprentice. I'll see to update this thread regularly with my thoughts about the candidates.

The application turnout hasn't been as great as i hoped. Maybe i'm not good enough to be a master after all...

 

The ones i got were rather impressive, though. I'm tempted to pit them all against each other in a knife fight for life and death, and take the one that's left at the end, but there must be a smarter way to handle this... And i have no intentions of letting them know who they are up against just yet, either.

 

For now, i'll just let them all think that they are my first choice, and see what happens from here...

[Muratus del Mur]

i thought its envy..but i see its not.

it does look as envy however...and i don't like even the faintest trace of envy..but i guess i have my issues too.

 

 

however..i am confused

your new years wish made perfect sense, yet it comes so late and i don't really know why it was needed to be as a wish, when you could have just claimed it a while back

 

you must know i am not always aware of whats going on in the realm, especially for the past several years.

 

 

dd's role was fully earned, and if a vet becomes angry on someone newer getting super powerful role ...i really don't care... i will give anyone what they deserve, new or old..but i can't give everyone ..its simply a matter of attention and time.

[Curiose]

Mur, are you responding to the right post?

[Burns]

I am a confusing person :P

 

Seriously though, i think it doesn't lead anywhere if you, Mur, try to understand how i think, we're too different for that. I rarely ever understand why you do the things you do, and it's likely the same the other way around... and i spent a lot more time trying to understand you than you can put to understanding me :))

so burns can any one try at this.

Obviously, the quests are always open for all to enjoy, and i don't think there's anybody who has absolutely no chance to become my apprentice in the end, either...

Though some people have better odds than others, of course.
