I feel as though I'm cheating somehow by writing this entry, but it can't be helped...I finally have a mount that I've been after for years! He's so special to me, in fact, that he has the honor of being the first mount I've ever named...he's even developing his own personality. Since I'm treating him as one of my pets, I figure he can nudge in here and share a bit of the spotlight. ;)
This actually happened many weeks ago, but I'm just getting around to posting about it now. My eternal gratitude goes to the wonderful Petopian guildies who participated in the mount run. With my atrocious RNG luck I never would have imagined winning the roll, but somehow there I was staring at the Reins of the Black Drake sitting in my bag.
I've always loved the history of the Black Dragonflight, and I secretly longed to have a black dragon as a companion early in Vanilla WoW. I managed to obtain the Dark Whelpling minipet which mostly satiated that desire, however when flying mounts came into existence I slipped back into daydreaming. Lo and behold, a black dragon mount arrives in Wrath of the Lich King and I knew that one day I'd have to get it. :D
*huggles her dragon*
While pondering a name for him, I considered the standard conventions used by the black flight. Males often end in -on, so that gave me something to work with. And then Damion popped into my head and it just felt right. Further contemplation reminded me that dragons often abbreviate their full names, so I added a syllable in the middle to make his full name Damarion, with Damion being the casual form. It worked perfectly.
And now...screenie spam! ^_^
