Within a span-less sea of glimmering blooms and sweetly wavering briars, you find yourself walking at a brisk pace along a well-trekked path, the whispering trees of the Starwood Strand seeming to curl their boughs closer towards your form with every passing moment. "This had better be worth it," you mutter with your next breath, your salvation from these increasingly frenzied shades and sounds that flit about your periphery appearing as a stark slice of what you can only hope to be sunlight a distance ahead. And though it is rather suspect, you're willing to take a chance with it than wander throughout these woods for any longer than is necessary.
Your steps keep pace with the shrilly-fluttering beats in your chest as you finally break free of the oppressive gloom and find yourself catching your breath along the edges of a clearing, the other side of which seeming to fall away into a steep drop to nowhere. The quiet rumble of the ocean nearby helps to ease your nerves, and with a final huff your eyes raise to a truly charming (if odd) sight. Varying tones of earth and green, with pops of yellow and red softly blend with kaleidoscopic flares into the lovingly-kept image of a garden: a ragged crescent with its central piece being a mirror-like pond crowned by an old willow and a bridge which gleams as though it has been painted with not even half a day past.
You tuck that thought away as your eyes sweep over countless rows of flowers (cycled and blended from the familiar to the outrageously bizarre) and lovingly sculpted hedges that guard a sea of white sand before you take in a prominent structure which by all rights you should have noted before now. An equally out-of-place house sits ahead of the garden, its overall curved and statuesque appearance something that you would normally only see within Wind's territories; nonetheless, it too radiates a quiet warmth that just seeps from these surroundings, and you come to wonder how such a spot could exist alongside the dreaded beauty from which you'd escaped. Choosing to see if this is the place you've come to find, you cross the bridge with several cautious steps, following along a pathway which curves around to the house's proper entrance before taking a few steps up to a massive set of doors. You wrap your fingers around one of the knockers and with a few bangs draw back to await a reply.
It is a short wait indeed when footfalls reach your ears and the right door swings inward. A Skydancer draped in flowers and lustrous chains appears in the doorway with a murmured question of, "May I help you?" while a peal of laughter drifts from behind their pallid figure. A bit taken aback, you stutter out your own inquiry on this building's status. The edges of the Skydancer's mouth seem to quirk as you finish. "Why yes, you've come to the right place, stranger," they trill while retreating back to allow you entrance. "We are still setting up shop, so please mind the boxes." You are led into a room filled with low, plush couches overlooking a wall of windows, the quiet drone of distant voices just affirming this place's homey vibe. One of the voices grows nearer, and a soft pink Pearlcatcher glides through one of the many doors. Though his eyes are shut, he unerringly walks right up to you with a growing grin.
"Welcome, welcome! Another lovely soul longing for their other half. Or third, fourth, twenty-ninth, what have you. Never really cared much for splitting those hairs. Anyway! I'm getting off track. Allow me to introduce myself: I am known as Eroti Phima, but you can just refer to me as Eroti, or even by my nickname, Eros. The lovely who let you in is my assistant, Wing."
Eroti's shuttered eyes tilt with his mirth. He ambles towards a couch and appears to just sink right into the plush, nodding towards the seat nearest him. You sigh as what is possibly the softest cushion you've felt in a long while (or ever) melds around your weary form and look towards your host.
"Care for some tea? It's a blend picked and brewed straight from our gardens. And we grow it perfectly pre-sweetened," he inquires, inclining his head to "glance" down at a polished table; the air is perfumed with honeyed jasmine and spices as you find a pair of tall cups overturned in their saucers and a teapot standing neatly in the tray that you are sure had not been there before. You politely decline, a growing urgency to get through this before sundown weighing in your gut, knowing well of the Strand's dangers that only increase as its gloaming creeps. "Well then. I can see that you are on a bit of a time crunch, so I shall go ahead and ask,"
"How may I service you?"
(TL;DR: You escape the Starwood Strand, find an odd house and garden resting along a seaside cliff/sloping hillside, and meet one of the business' owners (and their assistant).)
(Wow this turned out much longer than I had intended;;)

Welcome to my humble shop! I am glad to finally have this open after so many months of letting it drift from my mind. ^^ This thread is for matching your dragons to a mate (or two) to either love or to simply breed with. I'll try to answer (and post) any questions that you may have so that others may see them. To gather the proper data for my offsite notebooks (which will be linked later in the day), please fill out this quick form for each of your dragons. :) Here's a quick rundown of things:
- Just submit a form if you are seeking a match or a studding partner (or both!)
- You can request as many listings as you'd like, just be prepared for small wait since I'm doing this solo for now
- You can choose to have me message you if/when any matches are found
Another quick thing before you go on ahead: there is a small monthly fee of 15k to have your dragons listed, but to commemorate the soul-breaking beauty of love, there will be a -5k discount all throughout the month of February. I can also offer a "Pay Me Later" plan where you won't have to worry about paying me every time, but instead the accumulative total every 3-6 months. ^^ Just let me know what you'd prefer. With that out of the way, I hope that you'll find what you've been seeking!
