Silver Queens flies! (Dearyth's flight)

[inkith]

Hanrak and Dearyth were lying on the grass by the side of the lake. It was nightime but Hanrak couldn’t get to sleep he couldn’t do that often lately. They were just chatting. Not really about anything on particular. Hanrak was really too busy thinking about Dearyth’s soon to be coming flight, he was nervous about it. He had never, been, with anyone before. He had never, done, anything like that with anyone. He was also worried about the fact that the only two riders of the dragons which he thought Dearyth was likely to choose, were males. And he wasn’t that interested in them. I mean of course, he and M’kal were friends, but he just didn’t like guys that way. And he hadn’t got to know the WhiteRider, so didn’t really know how he was inclined.

Mine, I know what you are thinking. So before I say anything else I am really sorry. So I know this probably isn’t a good time to spring this on you, but you should probably make your way back to our room. As others shall probably soon be arriving there, and it would be hospitable for them to get there before you.

Dearyth’s eyes were swirling fast and a deep purple in lust, but Hanrak could tell she was worried for him.

Well I wish you could have picked a better time, and yes, I am worried. Just make the right choice He didn’t want to make his little dragon feel too bad, but suddenly a wave of dragonlust overtook him. Fly high and far, mine. Show them what the only Silver queen can do.

Dearyth jumped up. Standing upright on her hind legs and bellowing to the sky, projecting her challenge to the males.

Males! Prove that you are worth the Silver queen!

Dearyth jumped upon the smallest wherry she could find. About to rip into the warm flesh of its belly until Hanrak realised she mustn’t gorge.

NO! DEARYTH! To fly high and far you WILL blood only.

Dearyth was not too far out of it and listened to ‘hers’ when he commanded knowing what he said was true and still not wanting him too distressed, although she knew soon she would not be able to help herself . Latching onto the neck she sucked out its blood. The smallest dragon then took to the sky. Her hide glowing like a bright white light, shining against the black night sky.

Hanrak staggered shakily back to his quarters, nervously awaiting the other riders soon to come. He hoped that Dearyth would make the right choice. That was his last thought before he let himself meld completely with Dearyth, not even waiting for the other riders before he did that. He just wanted to be with Dearyth. With the wind beneath their wings, he would be in the clouds soon.

Rinath was suddenly alert in his fur-lined bed.
<what's wrong, Riny?> M'kal lifted his upper body off his cot where he had been taking a short nap.

I am sorry, Mine, but Dearyth Flys now! And I shall chase my silver-shining beauty!!!

"You WHAT?! b-b-b-but... Hanrak's dragon?! Oh Great!!" M'kal forgot to mind-speak in his surprise.
He realized he'd been yelling at his dragon for liking another dragon... which was, supposedly, a rare thing.
"oh, sorry Rin'! If you want to Chase Dearyth, then i will just have to go along, because iwouldnt dare keep you from Dearyth!"
M'kal smiled slightly.
Well, as Josie told me, love and personal preference have nothing to do with Flights.

I come, Dearyth, my silver gal! I shall Chase you- i shall Catch!

[inkith]

Should I wait in case kandykat comes on?
'Cause none of POTM'S charries are interested....
Does Fene have any charries yet?

[Raelyn]

ill npc a few charries, so we dont have to wait for her- shes... somewhere, i saw on nyocia, so...

i fergot those names i wrote in chat --_--

a blue rider and a tiny brown, i think both male riders

[Raelyn]

blue Morelth of T'birn (mae rider)
and sand Ugrayth of J'emmay (female rider)
-----------------------
Morelth and T'birn:

Morelth swung his blue head to the area above the weyrbowl.
T'brin followed his blue's gaze, and saw the little silver shape dipping through the air, one dragon already swooping around her, the Flight not yet begun.
T'birn laughed. "okay, Mory, go an' get her, i know you want to chase her!" he chuckled to thelarge blue.
A rumbled of happiness came from Morelth's short muzzle. He nudged His lightly, then crouched and leaped into the air, flying quickly to the weyrbowl.
<<Heello dearyth, i am in the mood to catch you!>> The blue crooned. he was very full of himself for a blue, T'brin smiled at that...

-----------------------------

Ugrayth of J'emmay:

J'em walked side-by-side with her smallish Sand dragon. Ugrayth mumbled to His.
J'em had never experienced a Flight before, but she recognised the wild violet color in her dragon's gem-like eyes for what it was. shaking slightly, she nodded to her sand, and Ugrayth bugled softly.
<<Thank you, Mine! i would not put you through something uncomfortable without reason. as well, for your First, the rider of Silver Dearyth is a boy.>> Well, that was a relief. she didnt think she could handle a female rider-female rider relationship with her first Flight.

[inkith]

Dearyth saw the dragons arriving. Three. She was only expecting two, and only one of the expected was here. This was a good turn-out, good enough for her to fly...

She leaped into the air broadcasting
I am ready to fly. But are any of you ready?

And with that she darted off over the lake skimming it with her wing tips and splashing one too near. But as the lake ended coming close to the towering Weyrlings Volcano. She stopped fractionally and sped vertically up into the sky, stopping her upward flight only when she got level with the top of the volcano. She couldn't see any of the males yet, and ducked slightly below the rim of the volcano, so that if they did come they would have to find her first.

She broadcasted this quietly so only they could hear it and so they wouldn't be able to locate her from this small broadcast.

Are you guys good at hide and seek?

[Raelyn]

Rinath and M'kal------------------------------

Rinath grinned his lopsided grin and took off second, speadinfter her. but he wouldnt have it that easy, and couldnt find her where she hid.
<<Dearyth, my silver gal, why dont you come out and race with me?>> Riny had come quite a ways from practicing in front of a drawing of her.
He heard her broadcast, but she was a good hider.
<<i will find you eventually, silverheart!>> Rinath crooned to her, he flew higher, over the volcano that slept for a million turns.
<<I hav always been good at finding you!>>

------------------------------------
Morelth and T'birn----------


Morelth had just landed with enoughime to steady his breathing. he'd been on the other side of the Weyr, and wouldnt dare go *between* in case the female felt threatened.
He took a deep, long breath, and saw Dearyth take off. He let out the breath and leaped off the ledge he sat on, third behind the gray dragon.
T'birn Grinned as he saw the blue take off after the silver, and then he noticed the dusk dragon in front of his blue. <oh, well, you're not first in back of the female, but you're closer than the sand!> He told Morelth. T'birn was halfway to the SilverRider's quarters, and just his luck, the Duskrider-- the BLIND one-- got there before him, just like with the dragons.
T'birn had to control himself. no fighting allowed... especially over something like that!

[inkith]

Dearyth saw Rinath fly overhead looking for her. She didn't think she would have seen anyone so soon. He was better at this than she thought.

Hello Rinath, I see you have found me first. Do you think we should wait for the others?
She asked teasingly.

Dearyth flew underneath him and ticked his belly with her wings. She could see the blue fast approaching. Knowing she would have to choose soon.

Should we try for a race?

She flew back towards the blue but stopping when she was somewhere in between the two dragons. Dearyth could see the two dragons now straining to get to her. Hovering in the air, her wings steadily tiring, she could see an obvious winner, and her with one final beat of her wings, she pushed herself in Rinath's direction.

Catch me Rinath, you are the victor.

___________________________________________________

Hanrak knew who Dearyth was going to choose even before she annouced it. He looked at M'kal when she annouced it, seeing the dawning realisation in his eyes.

"M'kal?"

He didn't really want to fling himself at M'kal without full consent really. As it was awkward enough as it is. Although Hanrak knew that he wouldn't be able to hold it in for long..... DragonLust was taking over and he knew in the back of his mind that Rinath and Dearyth were now intwined somewhere in the sky.

The other riders had exited his quarters as quickly as possible when they realised who had been chosen.

This is going to be awkward...
