Golden Sunrise (Farlith's MAIDEN)

[Raelyn]

Josie stood silently on the ledge, looking out over Sky Lake contemplatively. She knew Farlith would Rise soon - the Gold's hide had been luminous and faintly glowing for the past few days. The young Goldrider wished it wasn't at such an inopportune moment. The man she loved, and whose dragon got on so well with Farlith, were both far away and would be for some time.

She missed them dearly, but whatever they were doing in the North was important. Next time, surely, they would be home, right?

Either way, Josie knew it was going to happen soon. Griffith had Risen the day before, and that was likely ot make Farlith more eager to Rise. (and yes, Josie and Farlith had gone between to a location far enough from the weyr that Farlith wouldn't rise at the same time, thankfully) The shy Goldrider, however, didn't expect that day to be today.

Farlith, who had been down in the feeding pens already, not yet choosing prey, stalking around it in a predatory manner, sudenly leapt on a buck. And it was at that moment that the telltale passion and matinglust hit Josie. She had just enough thought in her head to move away fro mthe edge and further into her Weyr before the waves of lust filled her.

And she could feel the return emotions from the males that would soon show up.

Farlith trumpeted, the loud brassy note turning into a roar at the end.

Blood only, Farlith! Blood only! Josie managed to say the words loudly and with force behind them. A change of pace for the normally quiet young woman. She had it in her, of course, and she needed it to deal with regal and proud Farlith.

The gold's emotions washed over and through Josie and she returned them, eyes glazed. She was already in two places at once, though she wasn't quite with Farlith in that way yet.

Farlith bucked and fought but then relented, gracefully dipping her head and blooding her first kill. She moved on to a second with little hesitation, and did not need more encouragement fomr her rider to blood that one as well.

Males of Moonlit! Gold Farlith calls you to Chase! My challenge will not be easy! Prove yourselves!

Teal Evarielith and Y'lil

Evarielith raised his head when he heard the call. Y'lil knew it was coming, his teal had been on edge for a while and with two it hadn't really helped.

My beautiful ray of sunshine. I will answer your challenge. I will fly. And I. I will succeed.

Y'lil loved it when his dragon got really caught up in the whole flight thing, he became more like himself. Which many would say is definitely not a good thing.

The TealRider made his way to Josie's Weyr. He stood outside for a moment, readying himself. "It's showtime," he muttered quietly to himself, a cocky grin spreading across his face.

"Hello beautiful. Unfortunately you might not have had the pleasure of meeting me yet. I am Y'lil." He reached down, took the young GoldRider's hand and kissed it, his lips grazing softly over her smooth skin. His hand lingering in hers and he straightened.

[wildfire]

R'kevel was rather bored. Honestly he had wanted to sleep in but Wachieth had demanded a bath and oiling. That done the pair were lounging in their weyr not really doing anything. Then the call hit them like a waterfall. The call of a goddess beckoning her males to come to her side. Wachieth's head lifted a growl rumbling in his throat. R'kevel could already feel the lust settling in his veins and with a sigh gave the bronze a mental push.

Get on you big beast. he ordered a playful smirk on his lips.

My fair Farlith, I answer your call. the bronze roared as he joined the gold in the feeding pens. He took down two bucks and drained them in a few moments before lifting his head to study the gold before him. Such a pretty thing she was. Yes he was glad he had answered this call. Meanwhile R'kevel made his way to Josie's weyr mostly on instinct. It wasn't too far from his own weyr so he arrived in time to see the Tealrider's greeting. He gave a snort shaking his head a bit before giving Josie a warm smile.

"You must be Josie. I've heard a bit about you." he spoke as he gave her a bow. "The name's R'kevel, at your service." he added straightening with a cheeky grin. He was hoping for some fun but well that would be up to Josie and Farlith wouldn't it?

[Raelyn]

Josie turned around and watched the man as he approached. She listened to his Teal's words and smiled a little, but she raised an eyebrow at Y'lil's greeting. She pulled her hand away but nodded.

"Nice to meet you, Y'lil." She assumed he knew her name, and did not mention it to him. "It's probably best to avoid physical contact during the Flight. Beign a HAD I can't promise to distance myself emotionally from my dragon- or the other dragons - at all." She said in her soft voice. She got a hard glint in her eye. "But that better not give anyone ideas." She turned back to the door and blinked as she heard Wachieth's words to Farlith. A bronze, hmm? She smiled at the Bronzerider. He was handsome enough, and the cheeky grin on his face made her smile more than Y'lil's actions did. But then again, this was up to Farlith. She didn't want anyone but G'rei, but he wasn't here so she'd let the Gold choose as she was fit.

"I'm sure more will join us, yes?" She added, tilting her head.

Farlith trumpeted a challenge once more before blooding yet another kill - her third. Farlith swung her head towards the Teal, eys whirling purple and red.

Do not be overconfident, Teal! I am the one who chooses, you see. You are handsome, we will see how you do. She told him, her snarl turning to a scoff and then a croon. The young Gold's eyes whirled faster. A Bronze as well?! Perfect, she would take nothing less than the best of Moonlit. Though that, in her mind, really meant Dewluth, she would have to pick someone. Yet that could wait until more males came and she started her Flight. IUt would not be easy - she would be hard on these males, as great as they were. They would have ot be up to her challenge or she would not take them!
A fair greeting, Bronze Wachieth, and I can see that you are here. Are you up to my challenge? She taunted him.

[inkith]

Y'lil scowled noticing that he had made a fatal error in touching the Gold Rider without her permission while her flight was happening. His expression darkened but he none-the-less took a few steps back from Josie. "My apologies Josie." He would keep it strictly formal then, if that's what she wanted.

It also didn't evade his notice that Josie was much warmer to the bronze rider.

"Stupid bronzes." He mumbled under this breath.

Don't doubt me yet, mine. Even though he's a bronze I have a chance. He mumbled back to his rider.

Sweet Farlith, forgive my pre-emptiveness, I was just so dazzled by you that I forgot to filter my thoughts.

[wildfire]

"Honestly I don't see why they'd want to stay away." R'kevel replied flirting shameless for once. Flirting was safe. He could flirt without touching Josie. He was glad that the Tealrider had apologized and simply smirked at the scowl he was given. He chose to ignore the muttered words turning his attention back to Josie. "But perhaps its best not to discount the competition?" he suggested winking at her. It was a mild effort to diffuse the sudden tension in the room though he would drop it if it didn't seem to work.

I shall prove that I am up for your challenge, lovely Farlith. Wachieth replied a warm rumbling bass of sound. Talons flexed as he waited for the queen to take off. He ignored the Teal for the moment focusing on the golden goddess in front of him. She was all that mattered anyway.

[Raelyn]

Josie smiled at Y'lil, trying not to show favoritism. She'd heard what he'd muttered, but it wasn't about that at all!

"Thank you. I think Farlith's ready to get this show on the road soon." She told the boys with a wink. She raised an eyebrow.

"If any more are to come, they'll be way behind. I doubt any but your two will get close to succeeding. But thanks, R'kevel." She tilted her head.

"I didn't mean to sound harsh, Y'llil. Only I would not like anything ot influence the Flight besides Farlith's choice, as my Weyrmate isn't around." She relented. Josie was a sweet person at heart, and she couldn't be angry with anyone.

"You both have an equal chance..." Both rider and dragon said simultaneously, words and voices melding together for a moment.


Be ready for me! I'm Rising like the sun! Farlith said with a roar as she finished blooding her kill and suddenly launched herself into the sky, winging away with powerful thrusts of her yellow-gold wings. She let out a second roar as she whipped her way in a circle once before shooting off, carefully avoiding the males as she tore away from gravity and into the air.

Lust boiled in her ichor, and it filled Josie as well - she felt it from the males and from Farlith, and she leaned against the wall a little at the powerful emotions.

[inkith]

"Wow. That was really cool." Y'lil was temporarily distracted by the sensation that both dragon and rider speaking simultaneously through his dragons mind-link and through his ears.

Evarielith leapt into the air, close enough to the Gold to not get lost if perhaps she put on a sudden burst of sped, or started some evasive manouvers. And yet, he was still far enough away as so not crowd her and disturb her flight pattern.

He spun after her watching her form glowing in the sunlight. Lighting his way.

((Sorry it's short. But whatever))

[wildfire]

R'kevel simply nodded at Josie's words a light smile tugging at this mouth. His eyes widened a touch as both gold and rider spoke in unison, momentarily stunned hearing it with both his ears and mind. Yes if any others showed up they'd be far behind indeed. He didn't envy those chasers much in all honesty. Shaking his head slightly, he realized the line between himself and Wachieth was beginning to blur. The bronze took off with a challenging roar, wings powering him after the golden beauty that was Farlith. He would win her!
