Welcome to Gaia! ::

NPCs - R'yer and Bronze Korvath


Korvath trumpted again as yet more males flew down. His great bonze head whipping back and forth, half excited by the growing croud and the challange so many males would present, and half possessive as he siddled closer to the brilliently shining Gold, wanting, wanting, her for himself. And then suddenly she was up and away! Not swiftly perhaps but smoothly and with such power! Another excited bugle exploded from Korvath as he launched himself skywards, his wings snaping wide and forcing the air in a great downdraft under his large bulk. Easily catching up with her he slid into a wide spiral so as to not foul her flight path, his ringing call eager and encouraging. Fly for us Uridith!!!!

R'yer, having watched his dragon retreat, and feeling the familiar curl of flight lust starting within him groaned loud and long, frustrated that Korvath couldn't even try to keep at least some of it from bleeding over. They had spoken about this! Thumping his forehead with the book in his hand, hard, the bronze rider retreated into his room, hell bent and determined to read until this whole silly thing was over. Resolutly ignoreing the rumbling of an empty belly he sat down and re-opened the leather bound volumn.

NPC T'sla & Bronze Oelorith

T'sla tugged at the bottom of the girls shirt but part of his mind wasn't in this present moment. No he was keeping an eye on Oelorith. He knew he'd already bagged the girl, this was just some fun playtime until the gold flight was over. For Oelorith, he had pounced into the air a little too quickly. T'sla mentally poked him to dial it down if we didn't want to over do it and miss this opportunity.

NPC V'Kenti & bronze Takarath


You do us a great honor, Uridith. I hope I can prove my worth. He finally spoke after the gold's launch. Taka had been ready though and her acknowledgement of him just increased the tension further. The balanced bronze launched himself into the air rather quickly but was still about average. "You have some tough competition." V'Kenti said before going quiet as he watched from afar. He would let Taka concentrate at the task on hand while trying to keep himself out of trouble at the same time.

He had to wrinkle his nose at the feeling of his dragon watching the Gold launch. God, it felt strange to feel the flightlust. He had only felt it one time before, and honestly? He wasn't all that fond of the sensation. Being a male who kept apart from others on purpose. His dragon's energy was infections, a bugle following as he tried to take off from his standing position. It didn't work quite as well as he would like, legs falling back down as his wings failed to draw enough power.

/Do not worry Mine. I will enjoy this./

"Just...do not fight your wings too hard, I do not want the tears to worsen." This was whispered, his eyes glancing away as he let his eyes close, keeping himself grounded. Another attempt or two, and he watched the brown gather himself and launch, feeling almost worried that his Nessuth might find himself behind the others after the injuries sustained not all that long ago.

Roll:

Such eagerness to show off for her! Louder even than the bellowing of the gold and all her suitors was the combined rush of some twenty-odd wings pounding through the air to thrust them all skyward. She basked in the almost tunnel-like cloud they formed around her, swirling and diving and reflecting the last few rays of the sun in all directions. It was stunning, radiant, and the gold was slower to soar skyward than she would normally be, so stricken by the view of it she was.

A gentle but firm mental thrust upwards through the bond she shared with Lestenna cleared some of the dazzled fog from her mind though, and she chuckled to herself. What a terrible first impression to make for herself, her first flight at High Reaches and she was barely giving these dear males any challenge! Well, that just wouldn't do. She spied an opening between the brown and bronze swirling bodies and slid sideways, ducking through to escape the cloud of them all. Picking up speed now, and unhindered by the mass of them all clouding the sky, she rocketed upwards to pass the cusp of the caldera. The air was colder already, the sun's warmth fading now that the blazing sphere itself had set, but she found it bracing. Cool air to temper the fire in her heart, and give her a clear head to remember to fly farther, higher. She swiftly left the weyr behind, swinging out over the countryside towards High Reaches Hold, trailing her brown and bronze followers behind.

As her gold and the males passed out of Lestenna's range of sight, she sighed and pushed off the stone wall of her weyr's ledge. She couldn't give chase herself, but she could still lend her aid. She had a duty as well, and sharing her mind and strength with the gold in this moment was one of them. A brief pause in passing to reassure herself that the door to her weyr was unlocked should any of the chasers' riders be clever enough to realize that they ought to come to her, not the other way around, and she settled herself in a somewhat rigid, if nice enough chair. Her eyes fluttered shut as she let her mind find the gold's, letting their shared emotions pulse, crashing like waves back and forth between them.

Across the distance against the darkening sky, the queen trumpeted again, reveling in their moment of shared bliss.



Looks like Uridith's off the 'spread the love' to the nearby holds! Sorry to any holdfolk hoping for a relaxed, calm evening! Keep it up, chasers, you're all doing great so far!

Already he was lagging behind, outpaced by the other dragons present. Even several of the browns had outflown him at the start! But Kraketh wasn't daunted. Speed and strength, after all, weren't the end-all and be-all of catching a rising Queen. While it felt like the others were going to not just outfly but simply surpass Uridith, Kraketh felt he was simply keeping pace, saving his all for the end when it mattered most. He let out a bugeling call to her, as if to get her attention... Or to distract the others.

In the Weyr, Jacomus was feeling the effects of the flight. He shifted, tapping his fingers on his thighs as he looked around, then started through the Weyr in search of the queen's rider. If anybody noticed him, and knew who and what he was, they made no comment. Despite his scattering thoughts, his mind did focus on one fact - If Kraketh caught the Queen, Jacomus would have to stay at the Weyr. He'd have to give up his life of freedom and piracy in favor of the duties of a rider. At the moment, his mind told him, he'd do anything asked of him.

T'nor and Bronze Tarenoth

While he could have likely soared past her he stayed with her easily, following her moves as she dipped through the moving bodies, keeping himself close, but not too close to her while he thrummed and bellowed a call back to her own.
