Zanglith
Ah, and now more dragons were joining in, including more blues! Zanglith bugled a cheery welcome to his fellow suitors. The more the merrier! He was busy enough surveying the company that he missed it at first when Sharath dove again. He let out a blort of surprise before diving to try and follow, but he was too slow to make any headway.

Neptanth watched as his brothers blue went to chase after the gold too. He was going to watch out for Troiseth. He watched as the glorious gold posed for...SOLATH??? What did that little pip squeak have that...The large blue watched as the smaller blue brushed past him. Show them, Solath

Troiseth watched. It seemed him and his wery companion were lagging in the flight. Roaring his complaint about this..unfairness, he pushed himself forward even more. Eyes on the prize.

Solath crooned at Sharath. He was pumped with pride at even being noticed by the gold. He watched her go up in the air, even the pose that seemed for him. He wasn't sure though. Giving the bronzes and browns a bit of a small run, the blue pumped his wings to follow. He knew that as a blue he wouldn't be as high up in the air as them, but he can work pretty fast on the lower areas.
He spun and dived, doing a dance while chasing after. Glorious, Sharath. Show us.

Calanoth continued to press himself forward, He wouldn't close the gap just yet... the flight had only just begun! But he wanted to be close, to be ready for when she either revealed her choice, or signaled that she was ready to be caught. In the mean time he'd fight for his lead, keeping Pippith and Brumilth (The only two he even considered as potential threats to his success) behind him.
He admired her pose, even if it wasn't for him. She could tease the blues if she wanted, so long as neither came between him and her. He folded his wings, arcing smoothly into a dive. Now he could work on turning her attention towards himself. He flicked a wingtip, sending himself twisting through the clouds beneath them and leaving swirling trails of vapor behind him as he exited. Always, he kept his eyes locked on her and thrummed deep in his chest.

Pipith roared back, delighted by the acknowledgement, and pushed himself all the harder for it. It was tempting to take a swipe at one of the others, an upstart blue or, even more appealing, the larger bronze, but he could feel his rider disapprove as he considered it; no one had done anything to warrant that, and fighting could slow him down. He indulged in an ominous rumble, but nothing more.
The little bronze saved his attention and energy for Sharath, twisting as he dove after her.

The sky was really filling up with suitors now, and how was a dull brown to make himself noticed? Well he might not have a striking hide but he fancied he could weave words better than these youngsters and he had experience that they lacked; it would be the Queen's choice in the end, as it ought to be, but he saw no reason he should not be the one.
Eyes focused on the gleaming queen Brumath strove for greater height.

Sharath trilled at the boys that chased her, rolling in the air to flirt before dipping low to gain speed. The queen roared with joy and desire, delighting in the rush of the Flight. The poetry the males behind tossed at her filled the queen with pride and urged her to fly harder... but then a pair of male, two bronzes, broke ahead of the pack and her attention shifted squarely to them.
One, a smaller bronze, was obviously exerting himself but, from stubborness or pride, he refused to give ground. And the other... the cocky bronze from before, was thrumming at her... trailing the clouds as well.
With a bugle, Sharath turned her attention to more serious matters as she turned her attention forward and made for the sky, her great wings beating strong and steady as she climbed nearly vertical. It was a strenuous climb for any lesser dragon and a chance for her stamina as a gold to shine. She was largest, strongest, and she could outfly any unworthy male!
Let the one who could challenge the sky rise to her and the rest would fall away.
Back on the ground, Amelia sighed. It was drawing near the end now and Sharath was making her choices... the queen did so love her drama. Opening her eyes, the goldrider looked at the streak of dragon rising like a geyser into the sky and smiled.

Aware that he was falling behind Brumath focused on gaining height rather than talking, probably the influence from his more sensible rider as their minds drew closer together. The powerful bronzes were drawing ahead but the Queen had not yet chosen, there was still a chance for him. His hearts hammered, his muscles strained, his chest heaved like a great bellows and he flew onward.
Brumath bugled back at Sharath and sent his now wordless admiration of her and an image of herself through his eyes, beautiful and strong and glimmering in the light of a new day.
F'itz came to a halt near the gold rider's weyr and turned his head upwards, watching the dragons as they climbed.

Neptanth waited in the back. He could feel the muscles straining to just keep up with them like he was. It wasn't much and he knew it. All he could do was watch and wait for a prime time to pop in to give the bronzes a run for their gold

Troiseth was not going to be the butt of this flight. His maw opened in hiss as Neptanth started to get a lead on him. How could that larger...It didn't matter, SHE was going high. It was time to test his skills at reaching those heights.

Solath chuckled as he saw the gold was going for height. Ah what a shame that it could be what sets him apart. He caught a glimpse of the other two blues slowly catching up.
Wait another pose? No it was the straight climb. He was far enough behind that he started climbing the air at an angle to keep his stamina up. It might go to a bronze, but this blue was going to show them that he could get close.

Z'fer drew close to Amelia's weyr, the small part of his consciousness that wasn't entirely wrapped within Calanoth's desire leading his feet and gauging the other suitors gathered.
Calanoth thrummed again as she pulled out of her dive and rocketed back into the air. Their initial climb hadn't been that taxing but now with the momentum of his fall behind him, Calanoth could really push himself to gain on her as they rose back into the air.

Pipith would never be able to compete with the more charismatic males, and knew better than to try; when poetry was bad, it was very bad. He did croon to the gold, admiring, small and quick for her color as he was, not that he would ever actually say such a thing. It did hold appeal, though, and while she would never have his loyalty as another did, he fully intended to give her his best.
The presence of the blues continued to be a minor irritation, but he doubted they would be able to last much longer. Sweeping his wings and putting them out of mind, he bugled and twisted in the air as he rose.

Sharath's rise into the crisp morning air was long and steady, great gusts of breath billowing around her as she reached the peak of the climb and hovered just long enough to be tantalizing. Her attention turned to the males below, a monarch casting judgement over her subjects, tail lashing in defiance even as her choices narrowed.
As the bronzes drew closer, Sharath twisted in the air and started a dive towards the stream of dragons, hissing and lashing out at anyone who was unwanted or too brazen. She chose, not them.
Amelia shifted her weight onto one leg as her attention returned to the queen above, the adrenline-rush inducing freefall and the smug power of cutting towards the males making her grin rakishly. This only happened once a turn and it was the one time she indulged in the primal nature of the dragons... as much was clear when she turned a smouldering gaze on the men gathered around her.
Queen indeed.
