Intro It's been a rather exhausting day. As of late, your eggs haven't been hatching on time, and your hatchlings have been weakening as well. At first you blamed illness from claustrophobia, but leaving them be to recover only caused their conditions to deteriorate. Out of a want to find some cure for these creatures, you wandered out of the village and started exploring.
That was earlier today, quite early in the morning to be a tad more precise. Now the two moons Aurax and Cirion seem to be glaring down at you as you stumble through the forest with a limp hatchling in tow. It's the dead of night, with only partial light of the twin crescents above to show you the path ahead. You've heard of this trail just recently, and you can only hope your destination is the same as the rumors. Just as you were told, the wall of trees broke to show a grassy clearing, and up ahead was the bottom of a cliff face. Now for the rest of what you heard. You cautiously approach the cliff, analyzing the rock. Though there isn't much light to work with, you can make out what appears to be the mouth of a cave leading deep underground. You take a deep breath, look down at the hatchling cradled in your arms, then proceed down into the unknown.
Though you expected it to get darker the further in you traveled, it appeared as if things were lighting up below from what you assumed was fire, perhaps even some magic from a light-affiliated dragon. You continue downwards, making sure not to slip, and check on your hatchling's condition every few seconds. The hatchling in your arms perks up a moment and tilts its head to peek over your shoulder. Following its gaze, you turn around and find yourself face-to-face with a silvery dragon.
You restrain yourself from panicking, and this dragon picks up on your unease. He glances down at your hatchling, then looks back to you. "Do not worry traveler," you hear in your mind, "you are safe here." This dragon introduces himself as Silvanha, and listens to your explanation of you and your dragons' plight. The dragon is silent for a moment, seemingly mulling over what to do.
"... Perhaps I can help you and your hatchling, traveler. However!" Silvanha's eyes glinted as he looks you over, "I do implore you to give assistance with raising the younglings I am overburdened with in return."

Explanation For those who are unaware, this is a Dragon Cave nursery/hatchery thread, a thread in which a user posts their young dragons and eggs, they are added to these main posts to receive views and clicks from visitors, and the dragons successfully hatch and mature due to the positive attention. If dragons don't get enough attention or grow ill from too much, they perish. If you don't know what Dragon Cave is, it's a virtual pet collecting site in which a user collects dragons eggs, raises dragons to maturity by giving them proper attention, then breeds adults to create your own dragon dynasties. The website for the game is dragcave.net . As of current, this thread is run by myself, UB₀₁: 𝚂𝚢𝚖𝚋𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚝. , with a bit of additional help from Невыносимая коммунизм . I plan to update it around once every day, or at least once every two days. Expect more frequent updates at night, or very early morning. Each update will be announced on the News section under updates, with dates given.
Additionally, you may notice a few dragons or frozen hatchlings on these official posts, such as this little guy, Melleus:
These dragons are considered "Staff" dragons- if this were to be a story or RP, these dragons would fill the positions of caregivers, guardians, teachers, etc. I guess in real life they could be seen as mascots in a sense. I added them to give this thread a bit more detail, and flesh it out a bit. If you wish to have a "Staff" dragon, you could mention it to me, show me the dragon in question and what they'd do, and I'll decide on whether or not that dragon will work. Please note that "Staff" dragon owners other than myself are not staff of the thread, hence the quotation marks around 'Staff'.
One last thing- There's the possibility of milestone raffles, where after reaching a milestone on the thread (50 pages, 100 younglings being raised/grown up, 1 month since opening), I'll open a raffle for an egg or a few, depending on my success with breeding my rare dragons or any desirable eggs someone has to offer. I'll mention it in the News section after the updates portion, with drawing slots displayed and going first come, first served.

Rules - Follow all forum rules AND Dragon Cave rules.
- Don't curse/cuss- I know we all get frustrated, but that language won't be tolerated or allowed here.
- Don't add another Dragon Cave user's hatchlings or eggs without their explicit permission. It's against official Dragon Cave rules to give "aid" to a user without their permission.
- Remember that water mana is coral pink.
- Don't spam here- I'm human and have a life outside my computer, and sometimes it takes a while to add your younglings.
- Keep it courteous- I ask that all sensitive topics (religion, politics, etc.) stay off this thread, as to avoid starting arguments or conflict.
- Please don't click or view sick younglings.
- PLEASE, when adding younglings, use the share BBCode option to paste them into the body of your post/reply! If you just say, "they're in my siggie", 1) I don't know which dragons are ER or regular or not, and 2) I can't actually get the code for the dragons from the signature, as when I quote a post to copy/paste the code, it doesn't include your signature.
- Please, when submitting younglings, separate your ERs (4 days or less) from your healthy (more than 4 days remaining) dragons.
Forms/Formats
Adding younglings: Simply post your eggs and hatchlings, then request something along the lines of "Can you add them?" I'll like your post once they're up. Make note of the ER rule, or else your ER eggs may be placed with the healthy ones, which may results in less clicks.
Offering egg(s) for raffle: Notify me in PMs, linking me to the egg(s) so that I can see the lineage and species, as that will be advertised during raffles. From there I will either approve or veto the eggs, and if approved I'll then start working out with you on how to get these eggs to the right people with Magi dragon transfers.
Entering in the raffle, getting a drawing slot Follow this format! Screen name (typed out plain letters) @ yourself so I can see your user profile for PM purposes Identify what egg you want to get a chance at Passwords: What color is water mana? What are the names of the moons?
Becoming a WCRP affiliate: Simply PM or post here, linking to your thread and telling me if you want to be affiliated with the Dragon Den Nursery! I only ask that if I promote you, that you should promote me back. ^^

Emergency Room
Upon entering this part of the den, an imposing Bolt Dragon observes your every move. She says she is Lightning, and that she is the guardian of the younglings here that are close to death yet desperate for survival. Younglings with 4 days or less remaining go here.0
Eggs sit still; their lustrous shine fading away. The chicks are dying inside, shells growing colder with each passing minute.
Some of these eggs have only one day remaining.
The peals of young dragons call to your ears. They are innocent hatchlings, in need of your aid.
[insert dragon here]

Hospital Ward While wandering about the caverns, you come across a chamber that puts you at ill ease. A shroud of fog, opaque and sickly white, sits in a dense layer that rises up to your waist. A flicker of ochre contrasts against this milky flood of mist, and you soon find yourself staring at a rare, regal-looking Shimmer-scale. You suppress the urge to cry out in surprise as the dragon hastily introduces himself as Chickorita and shoos you out of the sick room. Younglings that are ill from softshell or hatchling illness go here to be added later. Additionally, fogged younglings go here until defogged.TQJTk[a href="http://dragcave.net/view/TQJTk"][img src="http://dragcave.net/image/TQJTk.gif" style="max-width:100%;"][/a]0 owner, codedragon code here0

Raffles/Giveaways A surprisingly tame Vampire Dragon sits before the records of past events, most likely there to keep any delinquent hatchlings from ripping the scroll to shreds. Apparently his name is Mikey; a rather unusual-sounding name for a dragon. Currently, nothing's going on, event-wiseWe had a Raffle in the past, in Sept 2016

Also, I may append youngling submissions slightly... Please separate your ER younglings from the ones with over 4 days' time left! It allows me to add them more quickly without having to check each one for ER when I make submissions~
