The story and the world of Draco (including its inhabitants) are entirely mine.
Another year is drawing to a close... It's time to go back to old habits.
A Diary Entry
HEAVENS GATE, December 24, 2024
I know it's been a while since my last diary entry... quite a while to be honest.
My mom advised me to keep a diary, to record certain events in my life so that I could call them up later and reminisce.
As we all know, things are a little different these days. Nevertheless, I find the idea charming and for her sake I would like to continue this tradition in the classic way on paper and not digitally with the help of Sheila.
Because when she was still out there, she had done the same.
Almost all of us in the cities believe that they live out there like animals in their caves and all that. But hardly anyone knows that there are also certain traits of cultivation.
Although I take after my old man in this respect, the fact that I am a direct descendant of a wildling and therefore somehow half-blood is still deeply rooted in me.
I experienced this three years ago....
Maybe I should go and see her at daycare later and talk to her about how we're going to spend the holidays. Maybe I should bring something for all the kids too, things that a certain red and white dragon grandpa has lost in my house.
Because tonight is already the "Night of the Wings".
Aylin is always full of anticipation and can hardly wait... especially when my old man gets dressed up for her to bring the presents. The outfit certainly suits him! I could burst out laughing every time.
The last three years....
I can hardly believe that time has passed so quickly and that we've already been together for more than three years. My firefly and me.
I remember how difficult it was for me to find a woman with whom I could harmonize as well as I do with you now, it seemed impossible to me, yet I practically fell at your feet.
It's still so surreal to me that I, of all people, was pulled through this portal and then woke up in a cave where your sparkling eyes greeted me.
I fell so madly in love for the first time, I haven't lost an ounce of it. I want to grow old with you like no one before, and even after that, whatever comes next.
When you followed me back then, I don't think there was a day when I was happier.
Today you can hardly be distinguished from the other city dragons of Draco, you have integrated as well, as urbanized as me and the others.
Nevertheless, one essential factor sets you apart from all the others, you have regained some of your supposedly lost magical powers. Although your access should be sealed, as Galvatros once told you. I don't know what it means, and to be honest, I don't really care because you are what I want.
I think I'm going to do it soon... propose to you, I don't want to wait any longer for anything. I want to marry you! Take you as my wife.
I just don't know when and where yet.
I will warn the others, especially Shira and Rhokas, that the time is coming soon, because I also know that they will be our witnesses.
I'll keep a low profile with Jhara, she can be a chatterbox sometimes.
I'm getting so restless just thinking about it, I can't wait any longer.
Starting a family with Aylin.
It's still early in the morning...
I'll probably grab a quick breakfast and then go to daycare as I said before. I'll quickly get a huge bag of sweets beforehand, then there'll be a lot going on afterwards!
Aylin is also on shift today, she is training to be an educator there with my mother as her trainer. She really likes it there. I remember when we were there together for the first time, she gave the kids big eyes.
Yep! One day I want to have kids with her and establish the name "Starwing" in Draco.
Because, as you know, I'm not allowed to pass on my name. But I don't give a damn.
On the way back, I'll stop by Kendrhal's workshop later. He's currently tinkering with a pretty cool retro machine and I want to have a look.
This oldsack had his fiftieth birthday this year. He still looks as grumpy as ever, but I don't care. He's my cousin and he's damn important to me.
I would have loved to have met his parents. My aunt Keirha and Davis too.
I remember when I was just 14 years old and he was half torn to shreds and barely survived. I was terrified that he wouldn't make it.
Since then, I have had great respect for the work of the border guards and the task forces such as the "Black Wolves", of which Kendrhal was also a part.
Maybe that's why my relationship with the outside world is different from that of many other dragons, even if it is dangerous and unpredictable.
That reminds me, I wanted to bring something to Yasriel. I'll take it with me and give it to Ken to pass on. The little brat is good for him, everyone can tell. Let's see if we can crack his personal quest at some point, we've already been able to translate half of his runes. Maybe they'll reveal his origins. Nobody knows where he comes from or who his ancestors are. With his blue, colder flame, he is certainly an exotic character in Heaven's Gate. Aylin has her own peculiar approaches... but I can't imagine that.
This afternoon I also have an appointment with "XCC" himself.
Let's see if it goes better today than last week. Xeleth and I wanted to record again and slowly finalize his new track. He'll be over later, then we'll go to my studio and invest some more time today. Maybe I can use the track for the New Year's party the following week.
I think his relationship with Jhara is really bothering him at the moment. It was almost blown in front of her mother. This secrecy isn't good for either of them and it's not good for the rest of us either. We really need to come up with something, because it can't go on like this.
They go so well together, there's really only one choice.
I sincerely hope that her parents can forgive her... one day.
But the two of them, especially Jhara, have to take matters into their own hands.
Maybe I'm just making it far too easy for myself. Because my relationship with the Silverclaws isn't the rosiest either. Even if the bankiers are a few notches less relaxed about the situation.
My old man has not been banished either and has a high position in the clan, I was even allowed to take over the name.
Maybe I should ask him exactly what it was like when he was dragging mom around.
Whether there are parallels and how they can be transferred.
Speaking of Xel, I'd better tell him again later that on the "Second Day of the Wings", when we eat at his parents' restaurant, they should serve us extra wild boar. Last year Aylin pounced on it and devoured it all. I'm beginning to think that our wild boar tastes pretty similar to the scale boar in Daracoss. At any rate, her smacking is the same.
Shortly after the holidays would be the last game of the year for the Heavens Gate Bulls.
Let's see how the game goes, the season is going very well anyway, also thanks to Rhokas.
This douchebag still manages to score as a front player. I think they'll soon make it into the first division thanks to him. Then it'll be "Bulls vs. Maniacs", that'll be awesome!
He's already thinking about giving up his job as an IT guy at "HG Skypost" and focusing entirely on his strikeball career. As long as he manages to get out of the scene as a result, I'm all for it.
Lately he's become more like himself again, also thanks to Aylin. I'm really happy that she supports him so much. I never thought the two of them would get along so well, especially because he can be so quick-tempered sometimes. The two of them are becoming like I am with Shira. At least that's my impression.
The only one who has undergone little to no change in all this time is Shira.
Does that worry me? I don't know. Because on the one hand, there's no bad news, and on the other, she's the only one who's been in one position for a very long time.
All of us had moved on in recent years, but not her.
And that kind of worries me as her brother. Maybe I'm just worrying too much unnecessarily, she's a strong dragoness. She knows that she can come to me at any time if something is weighing on her soul, as she showed when her grandmother disappeared.
The crowning glory of this year will be the big New Year's party at Aurora.
Alexandrhoar is letting me run the mainstage all evening and we're going to party the night away.
Before that, I'm going to have a proper pre-glow with everyone - Aylin, Shira, Rhokas, Jhara and Xeleth - at my place.
Hey, Yasriel has also turned 18 now, so I should ask him if he wants to come along. The shy little guy with the big mouth online can join in.
I'm going to hit Kendrhal up again, but I know he doesn't want to. It's not his thing to celebrate with others.
2025 will be a big year. I already know that.
Well then! I should start getting ready

Bro, I want to see that moment, the moment when Aylin and Ravey get married and in the future have a family. They are soulmates, they deserve to be together.
I can only imagine Aylin pregnant and what the little ones would be like..... and what Ravey will be like with her during pregnancy LoL
