With all of the new skins, I find myself still attached to some of the older ones.  This little Zaetus with the Ruby Smolder, for instance, was once a very costly smolder to obtain, and my non-breeding friend gifted a $10K Zaetus with the rare marking to my partner. My Partner was trying to get the Smolder Ruby on his new project at the time, the Ukienths, and the sheer stubbornness of this Zaetus skin drove him insane. Every egg laid with the Zaetus as a sire, came out purple and red. I used to laugh at the sheer frustration of the number of deep purple coats littered within the black and red coats, in an attempt to simply move the Smolder Ruby.  Amusingly, within the month, I was the proud new owner of the purple and red Sire. His coloration would not fit into any of the coats I was breeding, but I simply kept him fed because I thought that he was gorgeous.  

This was long ago, and the sire is long gone. Sent to Dragon Heaven in my adventure to get the Ascention dragon. Today, through some fluke, somehow in the past round of eggs laid by my Partner's new and unassociated broods, we find this 5T Zaetus with the Smolder Ruby marking. Nostalgia at it's finest, I asked for the egg to save it from his clean up. Hatched this sweet girl to eventually immortalize, so that I may always hold this sweet memory close.
