I don't know, but I can't believe I took this long, either! Maybe it's because I'm getting old.
Yeah, being in reserves is...well, a little frustrating. I found it really hard a lot of the time when I started in the league. It's worth it, though - you'll be all the more ready when you're finally out there!
I wish I could help! But I know absolutely nothing about dragons except that some of them are very beautiful, and all of them are very deadly. At least being on the reserves gives you more time to devote to that, for now? Trying to balance both would be so hard!
