| Kymis looked up as her golden
fire lizard screeched in anger as she took off. Sharding fire lizard was rising
again. She put down the book she had been reading, marking her place in it, and
watched the blue-winged beauty.
Taliesin screeched at her suitors again, and
was answered by five fire lizards, three bronzes, a lone little blue, and a
large brown. Kymis smiled. The brown had to be her own Aderyn. She knew the
brown had been getting rather protective of the gold-blue queen.
She was a
bit surprised to see a blue there, but the tiny fire lizard soon dropped to the
ground, followed by one of the bronzes. It wasn't long before the flight was
over, and Kymis smiled as she saw gold-blue twined with brown. She picked up her
book again, and began to read.
Taliesin screeched crankily, eyes whirling
red. Kymis just shook her head. "Silly wherry, why'd you rise, if it always
makes you so cranky?" She said as she scratched the eggheavy gold-blue's
eyeridges. Taliesin responded by snapping at her hand.
"Hmmph. Fine then."
Kymis said, and left her pregnant gold-blue queen to brood alone. Aderyn met her
outside, perching on her shoulder. Kymis smiled. "Is she mad at you too,
Aderyn?" Aderyn crooned as she stroked his head. His blue-green eyes whirled
excitedly, and he chirped, staring at something in the sky, off to her
right.
Kymis turned, and saw three dragons circling in the sky, a brown,
blue, and green. She frowned, there must be a search going on. She wandered
closer, curious to find out where they were from.
Three dragonriders climbed
off their dragons, two males and a female. Kymis blinked, staring at the woman
standing beside her large brown dragon, and the even larger blue dragon, almost
the size of a bronze. Strange bunch, these three were. The oldest, the
greenrider, walked up to her, followed by the brown rider, obviously a relative
of his, from their resemblence.
The greenrider smiled as he shook her hand.
"Hello, I'm C'fron, on green Trith. This is my daughter, Cris," He motioned to
the female brownrider. That explained the family resemblence. "And her brown
Tusath. And he is Ar'wen, with blue Camoth. We're searchriders from Seiryuu
Weyr. We're here looking for candidates for Vazilth's clutch."
Kymis smiled.
"Pleased to meet you, dragonriders." She said as she nodded at them.
The
bluerider cocked his head, listening to his large blue dragon. He grinned and
looked at her. "Camoth says you may be to stand. Will you come with
us?"
Kymis blinked in surprise. "Really?" As the man nodded, she grinned
happily. "Of course I'll stand!"
Kymis shuddered from the back of the
blue dragon as they came out of between. She
gasped as she stared down at the Weyrbowl below her. "It's-It's shaped like a
dragon!"
Ar'wen grinned in front of her. "Yeah, weird freak of nature, I
guess." He said, and shrugged. "Hold on tight!" He yelled to her as Camoth
backwinged, and landed neatly on the ground. Releasing her grip on the flight
straps, she gently slid to the ground.
She looked at the Weyr around her in
awe. Aderyn chirped as he popped out of between,
followed closely by Taliesin, her belly now quite round with eggs. The brown
hovered around her quite protectively as the gold-blue dropped wearily to the
ground. Kymis rolled her eyes. "You shouldn't be going between, you're
too eggheavy." She whispered to the gold-blue as she picked her up. Taliesin
just crooned from the girl's arms.
Still carrying the blue-winged queen flit,
Kymis followed C'fron, who led her to see the eggs. "But don't touch them!" He
told her as they entered.
Kymis gasped when she saw the eleven smooth ovals
lying in the sand. A brooding green dragon lay curled around her clutch of eggs,
guarded by a large brown dragon. She crooned at her mate, and turned her slowly
swirling eyes to Kymis, staring at the dragons in awe.
"Those are the
parents." C'fron said. "Green Vazilth and Brown Doroboth."
Kymis smiled.
"They're beautiful." She said. And dearly hoped that she would
Impress.
