Canoake sat deep in thought against her dragon's deep green hide. There was must change and unrest going on in Benden. She was having to rethink her strategy and plans for the future. She had missed her chance to apply for Candidate. Master since she had been ill. But that didn't mean she couldn' find another way to get into a position of power. She was going have to scout out who to put her marks behind.

Tatath grumbled at missing out but she had heard through the dragon rumormill that other positins would be available for the taking soon. The green, though brightly colored, had a wat of not being noticed until needed just like her rider.

The big question was which Gold to support and who would rise first. Maybe with enough prodding, one could be motivated to fly first. So many plots and schemes to work out. On the outside, the green rider was calm and had a pleasant look on her face. But she was distracted enough that she didn't noticed one of her current thoughts approaching.
