Mythical Beings Class

Professor Washington, my Mythical Beings instructor at Greenbrier Academy has posted a lesson on our new website, http://Destineers.com. It’s in the discussion room in The Cybrarie so go ahead and check it out if you get a chance.

I wanted him to post a lesson on dragons – y’all know how I feel about dragons, but he went with a lesson on goblins instead. Did I mention Professor Washington is a goblin? At least he gave me some great advice on what to do for my dragon, Firewing. He’s a hatching and seems to be getting a new tooth. Dragons are not very happy campers when they are cutting teeth, believe me! At least the leaves he told me to have Firewing chew on seem to be helping…and ice cream. Firewing loves ice cream. Well, I gotta run. See ya in The Cybrarie !!!

Dragons Are Sooo Cool!!!

            Dragons are sooo cool. One of my classes at Greenbrier this year was dragon training. We haven’t really worked with the live dragons yet. I’m still workin’ on learning Dragonese. It’s a really a cool language but some of those low growls are really hard for my voice. Professor Roardan says they can still understand me, but it’s harder. They have to really pay attention. Ever try to get a dragon to pay attention? Not easy. Really short attention spans unless they are hunting for food or after treasure to add to the horde. The Professor says they are very focused then. I guess it’s kinda like when somebody talks with a really strong accent, like maybe they are from another part of the country or English isn’t their main language and the accent is a little different than you are used to – you can still understand them, you just have to listen harder and pay attention. Same with the dragons.  Dialect. That’s what Professor Roardan calls it. Anyway, the Dragonese lessons have helped me a lot already. You see, I found a dragon egg when we were in the Netherscape.

 

            My dragon hatchling is so cute – his name is Firewing cause when he gets excited, well, his wings kinda have this flame fringe. Yeah, about that…he kinda gets excited a lot. I don’t know if he’ll outgrow it when he gets a little older or not. I hope not. It looks really cool. You know, my friend J, Vampire Hunter  over on MySpace was blogging about superheroes. Who knows, maybe my dragon has this as a special power or something, you know, like a dragon superhero. How cool would that be?! He’d be kinda like The Torch.  Flame on!  A dragon superhero would be cool. Bad guys don’t mess with dragons. Well, the Clan of Ares sen Feear tried…they thought they had killed all the dragons in their Realm. Boy, were they surprised to see Firewing!

 

            Professor Roardan said he’s never heard of a dragon’s wings flaming like Firewing’s, and his family has been dragon riders in the Realm of the Coldrone since like his  great, great, great, I don’t know, I think it was like five or six great grandfather’s ago.  He’s going to ask his grandfather if he’s ever heard of flaming wings before. The Professor even said he might take me to Scotland to meet his grandfather and talk to him about being a rider! That’s where Professor Roardan’s family lives since they came to our world a couple generations ago.  I can’t wait till I can ride a dragon. I can’t imagine anything cooler, can you? 

Hey Y’all, S’up?!

Hey y’all, s’up?! I’m Sean.

Summer is here. We’ve gotten back from the Netherscape and settled back into our lives in our own world. Don’t know ’bout you guys, but I’ve been spendin’ my time chillin’ by the family pool with a nice tall glass of Mom’s ice cold homemade lemonade. I’m just enjoyin’ the summer break kickin’ back, takin’ it easy and watchin’ the skies for a cloudwalker or two that might just wander into our world.

There’s a holiday weekend comin’ so I’ll probably head over to the Destineers new website and hang. I’m pretty sure they’ll break out the dragon and fire up the ole bar-b-q…. I know Brady snuck that dragon back here. Gotta admit, they look kinda cute together, those two are inseparable kinda like…what’s that old TV show? You know the one, with that little kid Timmy and his dog Lassie… Of course that kid didn’t have to worry about carryin’ a fire extinguisher around with him.

Anyway, come and check out the new website at http://www.destineers.com there’s all kinds of stuff to do. I’ll probably be hangin’ at the forum boards. Maybe I’ll even teach you how to make your own fire extinguisher; you never know when you’re goin’ to need one with a dragon around!

Summer Vacation is Almost Here

Hi, I’m Brady. Well, summer vacation is almost here. I remember when school started this year and we found out about our new “beta testing curriculum” and our new classes – they sounded weird, but boy, they have been awesome (by the way, I love dragon training!). We have had so many adventures it’s going to be hard to leave Greenbrier. Still, it’s gonna be great to see my friends at home and hang out at the arcade. I’m gonna practice real hard so I can get my name at the top of the high score lists like my brother, Ryan.

I’ve learned a lot this year and made a lot of new friends. Professor Roardan is letting me keep the Dragonese Berlitz tapes to practice…I just can’t seem to get the accent quite right. I think you have to have a deep voice to speak Dragonese right, my growls still sound funny.

I wonder if I can sneak Firewing home for the summer….he’s still pretty little… hmmmm…maybe I can get Sean to build me some kind of fireproof carrier and I can rearrange my backpack… hey, I gotta go find Sean, but you guys have a great week!

OMG!! We’ve Been Blogged! This is Soooo Cool!!!

Wow – what a week!  

Just call me M [over on MySpace] is truly amazing. Can you believe she blogged about us? Really!  Check it out!  [The Destineers and The Netherscape Legend] That is Soooo cool!! She is a great new friend, if you haven’t met her yet, you definitely want to add her to your friends list.

I’m gonna check with the headmaster to see if we can borrow the incarnation chamber to pop over to her world sometime…or…I could always buzz by on a dragon…how cool would that be?!?!

 

Waving to all my friends — watch the skies, you just never know when I might hop on a dragon to fly by to say hi!

 

We Are Not Alone

Hi! Kylie, here.

I don’t know about you, but I love to read and immerse myself in a good book. I used to think this was the best way…actually, the only way to explore other worlds. But, you know what they say…truth is stranger than fiction. You’d be surprised how many worlds there are out there, just waiting to be explored. We are definitely not alone!

As the writer of our group, the Destineers, I keep a journal of our adventures. The journal was a gift from my favorite teacher, Professor Ginger Sinclair. Perhaps you’ve heard of her — she has won oodles of awards and has been published loads.

Maybe someday I’ll write a book about all of the Destineers’ adventures. Even though all the stories are true, I’m sure no one will believe them. They’ll probably keep the book in the sci fi or fantasy section. But we’ll know the truth, won’t we?

Hello world! Welcome to the Destineers Site

I’m Ryan, one of the Destineers at Greenbrier Academy. What’s a Destineer? Well, at Greenbrier it’s me, my brother Brady, and our friends Kylie and Sean. That doesn’t really answer your question, though, does it? Webster’s Dictionary defines destiny as the power which appears or is thought to control events; fate. I never was much of a believer in destiny or fate – then I met Wiliam Derrnz, the new headmaster at our school and life just hasn’t been the same. My brother, friends and I definitely found our destiny. What is our destiny, you ask?  We’re saving the worlds, one adventure at a time. Yes, I said worlds. Plural. You’d be surprised how many are out there…
