Hi everyone!
          	
          	Hope you've all had a nice fortnight. It's been crazy hot around here for the last few days , but there's been a few hints of a storm approaching so hopefully things will cool down a little after that!
          	
          	As always, I've another part of The Dragon Princess and the Cook out and ready for reading - Chapter 43!
          	
          	Feel free to check it out if you like and be sure to let me know what you think, in the meantime, I think I'll grab myself some dinner ;)
          	
          	Hope you're all having a nice day too - I'll be sure to see you all in July!

DragonsDwelling

@GeneralZarax Yeah, he's a maroon bellied conure, I think he'd be pretty pleased to hear you think he's cool. I'll have to post some pictures of him sometime. :)
          	  
          	  As for painting, I'll have to see if I can find some old craft supplies around the house. My Mum used to love stuff like that so it shouldn't be too hard to find some paint.
          	  
          	  Enjoy your day out too!

I'm sorry, you can't just drop the bomb that you have a parrot. (I'd italic that for emphasis if I could) So cool though. 
          	  
          	  And hey, no harm in trying out painting. Just start simple, literally a shaded ball is a perfect starting ground. The really only reason to avoid it is the cost. Like holy cow paints and brushes are expensive! I was just so fortunate my dad had some in storage. 
          	  
          	  Speaking of my dad, we're going out tomorrow since he was busy today. Celebrate then. Also trust me, you don't want Midwest storms. Some of them are like the size of Britain I swear .

@GeneralZarax Could you send some over here? It's been WAY too hot these passed three days, I think I'm cooked!
          	  
          	  Glad to here you're doing well, the paintings you posted were fantastic - it makes me want to pick up a brush myself, though I'd probably only make a mess! 
          	  
          	  Just finished work and I'm currently celebrating Father's day with my Dad, it's been nice. We're finishing off with some cake and my parrot won't leave it alone, probably the mango flavour XD

Heyo. How’s your week been? Hopefully the heatwave is letting up a bit.

CaptainMemes

@DragonsDwelling Oh no! I thought it might cool down a bit and that the heat would let up for even a little bit. I hope you stay cool…
            
            Take your time! I just know the chapter will be good. I’m doing alright. Driver permit stuff, family stuff, and sketches of Sybus. I have four facial expressions of him here on the back of the paper, though there’s little inconsistencies about them. I’ll post it when I have all of them down. It’s decently warm here, but it’s been messy with rain and thunder. On and off…
            
            I hope you get plenty of water and stay cool! :)

@CaptainMemes Still very very hot, I'm afraid I might be melting... 
            
            Also busy! I've had to cover a couple of shifts and I've got a health and safety course to take on the 13th.
            
            Sorry to say, I haven't been able to get much of my book done so far this month. I have got one picture done but I've been struggling with the other. 
            
            It should still be out by the end of this month though, Hopefully I'll have it ready before the 20th, well see ;)
            
            How've you been? I know you said it was starting to get a bit hot over there too! Hope you're keeping cool ^^

Hey…
          
          I hope you are alright. I know it’s wickedly hot out there in Europe. I hope you are staying cool.
          
          How’s the zoo? Hopefully the critters aren’t too harmed by the heat either. 
          
          Say…watched any movies as of late? I’ve watched Toy Story 5 recently.
          
          Again, stay cool and drink plenty of water. It’s beginning to get rather hot here too…humidity doesn’t help. Have a nice day. :)

DragonsDwelling

@CaptainMemes Oh yeah, I forgot that was a thing in America - Happy Independence Day!
            
            That food sounds amazing! Hope have a great time.

@DragonsDwelling That’s nice to hear! Sorry for the late response. I’m a bit busy with 4th of July stuff. Father is smoking brisket with homemade Mac n cheese and baked beans! Thanks for the good wishes, I hope you stay cool too! :)

Well…I’m receiving a notice to ‘not click on suspicious links’ and that ‘Wattpad does not ask for information’ or something along those lines. It seems like that rather bad person that sent you that spooky link is gone along with the conversation they started. They seemed to have got to them. If so, then it’s what they deserve. People like that are scummy. 
          
          I’m just happy they don’t have to annoy you and hopefully anyone else anymore. :)

CaptainMemes

@DragonsDwelling Okay. I hope you drink plenty of water and have some fans lying around. I also use my pitcher to cool some water in the fridge if the water is not super cold from the sink. I hope you stay cool! :)

          I just wanted to give a personal thanks for your kind words in while I was in the process of finishing the thesis. It means a lot. I’m happy to have a great friend like you. :)

DragonsDwelling

@CaptainMemes No worries! I'm glad it worked out well for you. 
            
            And I'm honoured to have such great friends like you and Zarax too. It's been a bit more than two years now and you've stuck with me though it all, so thanks.
            
            I'm sure you'll do great with whatever comes after your thesis too :)

Hey…
          
          How’s everything going? How’s the zoo?

CaptainMemes

@DragonsDwelling It’s nice to hear you’re doing well! It’s sad to see your porcupine go…but that’s how life is I suppose. At least you were all able to give it a good life. And some Australian critters? Cool!
            
            Take all the time you need for the chapter. I’m sure it’ll be good. And…four sketches?! Wow! Hopefully one of them is of our favorite couple. :)
            
            And…thanks for the good wishes for Tuesday. Anxiousness might get a hold of me, and I unfortunately can’t move stuff out at all since the main entrance is completely blocked off from people digging in front of my apartment building for the landlord, but…I’m hanging on. Thanks for your kind words. They mean a lot. :)

@CaptainMemes Doing good thanks! The zoo has been keeping me very busy, I think this is my first day off in eight days.
            
            We did unfortunately lose our porcupine last week. He had a nasty gum infection so we had to mash up all his food but it recently got to the point where he refused to eat at all. He's had a good life though - he was originally rescued from a circus and has been with us for twenty years since.
            
            We've also got four Wallabys now! Two mums with joeys in their pouches. They're really nervous at the moment, but I'm sure they'll settle down within the week. 
            
            As for my book, I haven't had much chance to work on it this week, but the newest chapter is written, and three out of four sketches are done. 
            
            All I've got left to do is colour in the last sketch and proof-read everything - with a bit of luck, I may be done today ;)
            
            How are you doing? I heard you've got an exam on Tuesday - hope it goes well!

@DragonsDwelling Nope you are not! I’m quite excited to see a new game with our favorite purple dragon! I don’t know if it’s a Crash 4 situation where everything after 3 is noncanon, but I’m excited to see where they go with this! To be honest, I’m super inexperienced with Spyro, but I’m happy he’s back! I’m definitely curious about our favorite purple guy’s next adventure! :)

@CaptainMemes YEEEESSS!!! My brother sent me a link to the trailer and I've been ecstatic for the passed hour. Is this real? Am I hallucinating? IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS!!!

Hi again everyone! 
          
          Thank you all so much for your patience. I am pleased to announce that after a slight delay everything is ready for publishing...
          
          Dragon Tales
          
          • Dragon Tales - Part 8
          • Dragon Tales - Part 9
          • Dragon Tales - Part 10
          
          Art Book
          
          • TDPATC  - Chapter 38
          • TDPATC  - Chapter 39
          • TDPATC  - Chapter 40
          • TDPATC  - Chapter 41
          
          • Dragon Tales Recap
          • TDPATC Book 1 Recap
          
          The Dragon Princess and the Cook 
          
          • Chapter 43 - A Stranger in the Castle
          
          You might have noticed that I've added a couple of recaps to my art book. I figured that considering how long it's been since I published anything ( Dragon Tales especially) that they might come in handy.
          There's also a chance they could help with anyone who's interested in reading some of my latest work but is feeling a little daunted by the previous 40+ chapters involved. 
          
          Hope you're all doing well too, feel free to let me know what you think to my latest work and with a bit of luck, I'll see you all in another fortnight :)

Hi folks!
          
          I've been aiming all week to get everything ready for today - the second year since my first bit of content was published.
          
          Unfortunately, I've still got a bit to go so it's looking like it might end up being tomorrow now, sorry about that. 
          
          Here's what I've got left to do:
          
          • Write a recap for The Dragon Princess and the Cook
          
          • Colour in illustration
          • Draw and Colour another Illustration
          
          • Proof-read EVERYTHING
          
          It's 9:30pm here right about now so while I plan to stay up for a bit yet, I think it'd take something incredible to get everything done today...
          
          Either way, thank you all so much for your patience. Just wanted to let you know that there is DEFINITELY some content coming soon ;)
          
          Hope you're all having a great day too!
          
          

DragonsDwelling

@GeneralZarax I am indeed alive - barely. It's 4:00 am XD
            
            Proofreading can definitely wait till tomorrow now! 
            
            I'm doing well enough though, been doing some clearing out in the garage and whatnot whilst simultaneously wishing my holiday could last a little longer - one more day left!
            
            It's great to hear from you too! Fingers crossed for tomorrow, but first - sleep!

GeneralZarax

He lives!
            
            Figured as much anyways. Take your time with whatever you have baking in the oven. Proofreading is an absolute pain, so my condolences. 
            
            It's good to hear from you as well. How's everything doing besides the design process you have going on? Great I certainly hope. Can't wait to see what the results are!
            
            So suppose you'll hear from me again tomorrow if what you say is true? 
            If so till then!

Hello again. Just asking how you’re doing. :)

@DragonsDwelling It’s nice to hear that you’re doing okay. I’m excited to see what you put out! Also, thanks for your kind words, I feel a bit better today. I’m also sure anything you put out is going to be nice! :)

DragonsDwelling

@CaptainMemes Hi there! I'm doing great thanks! Just yesterday I started my week-long holiday! 
            
            I've been working hard to get some decent content out for the 28th, I'll let you know if I need to postpone anything but so far so good ;)
            
            The three parts of Dragon Tales I'll be releasing amounts to around 26,000 words in total! I've also been getting back into drawing which has been fun.
            
            Hope things are going well for you too (and your feet are feeling better!) Thanks for been so patient with me. I know it's been a while since I released anything, but hopefully it'll all be worth while!
