Incase I ever decide to come back. Or, I may sell it. I dunno.<\/p>\n<p>But lets go back in time to where Dragon Forest(or as it was named &#8220;Benie&#8217;s Homestead&#8221; in the past) was just a baby. To remember the times, good and bad, I&#8217;ve had with it.<\/p>\n<p>It first started after I had moved from the camp, that me(as Benie), angry, and Matty lived at. I wanted a place to call my own, and thought the 2nd lake above Rockcliff would be a good place to be, since I loved living by a lake due to the shear beauty. Sparkyrich, one of the members of Greenside, had other ideas though. And after going up there proved to be more than I could handle, he got me on the right track and showed me a flat area near a lake.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve passed by this area quite alot of times when I was still living at SoTR, helping vixeyrose with water. But never would of thought that some day I would own that piece of land.<br \/>\nHe showed me around the place, and told me of these two mines that where already made. So I wouldn&#8217;t have to make my own mines. And I remembered how BIG they where. It blew me away. And then he showed me the view of the lake that would one day be where my house is.<br \/>\nI pretty much&#8230; just died when I saw that view. How incredibly beautiful it was. How could I say no?! And so, I took it.<br \/>\nA few days later, Sparkysgal, the owner of Greenside, got the HS deed for me, because I was low on cash at the time. She gave me it and I tried to found it. But alas, the village north of us, known as &#8220;Apple Bs&#8221;, was blocking this from happening. Fortunately she was able to contact the owner and got her to enable the option to allow deeds, and I finally planted it.<br \/>\nAlittle time after that and the stone slabs began to be removed one by one and replaced with grass. And then the houses went up. Sgal thought that I would want three separate houses for my HS. But found out that I just wanted one and let me do what I want.<br \/>\nIt was from then on, and to this very day, I&#8217;ve been responsible for this homestead.<\/p>\n<p>A few months passed, and my HS grew. I littered the place with my favorite tree in Wurm; Pine. The ramp to the lake was made. And I still remember going north of my HS one day to visit Oakvale. At the time we didn&#8217;t have boats, so I had to vacation on foot. Once getting there, I noticed it was on an island inside a small bay. I was amazed at the way it looked, and wondered if I could do it back home. Because at the time, my desire to keep my HS the way it looks was fading rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>When returning home, I desperately wanted to try to redo the idea Oakvale had and tried to get to work. But my lack of knowledge of flatraising would cost me. Over and over I remembered desperately trying to seek help from kchat for a flatraising expert to come down here. Though I got a few, and even got some help for digging, it still wasn&#8217;t enough and it drove me past the breaking point.<br \/>\nSo I gave angry the deed and quit&#8230;.<br \/>\nAnd where that is, is now known as &#8220;The Scar&#8221;. Because it hurt so bad.<\/p>\n<p>4 months later, I came back as Dragonhead. It was at this time when boats came into Wurm. And I regretted quitting so much. After a long time of suffering, I finally get the HS back.<\/p>\n<p>But sadly, all the love I put into this place&#8230; was pretty much a distant memory when boats came out. They would fuck up everything I have ever worked for. As in, boats where useful for not just hauling goods across the ocean, but for people. Boats are known as &#8220;super carts&#8221;, or &#8220;floating carts&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>With the rise and fall of Beelzeboss, my hate for plank-making increased. Back when Dragon Forest was named Benie&#8217;s Homestead, planking was actually fun. Now, it&#8217;s&#8230; geh.<\/p>\n<p>Dragon Forest has gone through alot of changes. Possibly even alot more when the goons where living on it. And sadly, it&#8217;s lost it&#8217;s beauty that it once had when I moved in. Because of my relentless changing to the land.<br \/>\nAnd now it&#8217;s pretty much lost it&#8217;s function because of boats. Ever since the tunnel was made from NewTown to Small Bears, it was like a calling that one day I would try to live by the ocean, instead of by a lake with no access to the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>And as I look down, standing on another failed idea to improve the HS at the pier, staring at my rowboat. I can only hope my new life will be just as good as this place was to me. Though I don&#8217;t have any ideas at the moment for what is known now as Annaysoan Point, I hope to get some soon when I finally make my move.<\/p>\n<p>But. What made me snap and realize what I was doing was pointless, and made me wanna move away from a great place? I&#8217;m still trying to figure that out.<br \/>\nIt could be several factors. Depression. Boredom. Loneliness.<br \/>\nI think when I finally started to realize that living by this lake was bad, was when I had moved from Neveron, to the Northwestern side of the lake. Tried to make a boat pier due to an idea I saw on the west coast, and saw it was pretty much&#8230; pointless to even make a pier. Since I was the only one that would use it.<br \/>\nThen again, maybe it was the trip around the home server.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone I knew in the past has either quit or moved far away, making me the only one living by that lake. Which could be another contributing factor.<br \/>\nBut I think the number one thing was probably the fact I love being out on the water. I felt.. free. Like I could control my life as well as the boat taking me anywhere I wanna go. Letting the wind guide me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As all of you may know, angry got me to wanna move to Annaysoan Point and found a new deed, named &#8220;Dragon Haven&#8221;.
