Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tia nodded her head "They grow more and more every day and gain their independence, it should make us proud and as such it does. But we also know with every passing day they need us less." Sighing she flicked her wings then lay them to her back, curling her tail around her. "If I am honest... It was very difficult to accept Parvati's independence and acknowledge her becoming a very competent Darastrixi. Leaves a void of time, tell me what are your plans as they require less of your time?"

She asked out of curiosity, as the idea of more growing up and her time returning worried her. How long would these short distracted work? Was it far fetched to wish the herd to have drakklings all moon cycle round? Yes... she knew this, but what else could she immerse herself in, the flight did need new members.. there was hunting... she felt like sighing she needed a hobby but nothing came to mind.

It was almost a relief to hear she wasn't the only one at a loss with what to do now. Before Parvati and this world she seemed to always be immersed in some task or another but here things where calm and nothing compared to being a mother. Looking at the two teens she nodded, enough of this dwelling and feeling sorry for themselves when they should be enjoying the emotions! They had wings now the teens where beginning to use theirs what better time to exercise theirs?

"I think perhaps today is a fine day to flex our wings, let the wind slide off our scales" Also flight had always served as good therapy for Tiamat, clear minds in clear skies. "Whilst the males discuss Flight agenda, I propose enjoying the very thing, perhaps we shall even come across new recruits and your teens are welcome to join."

Oribelle was taking a few trots before extending her wings, the slight breeze in the cavern buffering but not entirely enough to help the yearling take flight. Her ears perked as she overheard the adults discuss flight, very eager at the idea she looked to Kieran with a grin, with a good gust of wind she knew she'd take off before him.

Rising up onto her feet Tia nodded "We shall walk the tunnels to allow them to follow." With a look at the teens she smiled before turning to start up towards the base of the mountain where the tunnels would loose many unwanted guests but for them was a well memorised route.

Space, yes! As the adults made the decision Oribelle contained her excitement as she waiting a brief moment to give her brother another quick grin then she followed.

Smiling Tia looked back briefly as the entered the tunnels before looking straight back ahead, she remembered the look all right. Though her own experience had been from the other dragons of the flight, she was a litter of one not uncommon for the home world. She had been an only child, but there had been a number of others around her age, as was the size of the flight back then.

"I would not wish to take such wagers as to which will take flight first, that is certain." Looking to Tanith she chuckled, her having five had been wonderful and a new experience, until then she hadn't even known it possible to carry and deliver so many! For that she had respect for the other dragoness, regardless of placement in the herd perhaps that was another reason she found herself 'helping out' so often? No it really wasn't a reflection on Taniths mothering skills, definitely on Tia having her own grown up.

"That is a very wise story, one I have no doubt you'll be sharing with your litter before the sun sets." She smiled to Tanith "And you fly strong and fast now? A beautiful example for the young." Tia had a feeling this was a good point to share something of her past but beyond the flight and Marek her memories where hazy. An elephant may never forget but a dragon lives for so long...

"I don't recall being first... or last, simply that it was a race for so many. I was content to do things as I was intended, Oh and Mishaelion was most definitely flying before I." She chuckled, she'd always looked up to him despite their vastly different ranks in the flight they where about the same age weren't they?

"Many reasons indeed." She mused, her tone fought to stay neutral and consistent but she had so many feelings for him it was truly becoming difficult to keep them suppressed. However she had to stay professional about him, they led the heard together and though it was no secret they where friends and shared a daughter it would do no good to rouse other suspicions.

"Ahh I am glad to hear it, and I look forward to seeing our best flier in action." She looked to Tanith with a grin, was she baiting? She suppose she was a little, it was a might big claim to say such a thing but she would find out soon enough of her companions skills in flight.

Keeping a respectful distance behind the adults she wasn't exactly trying to hide from them but she wasn't trying to appear too eager and intrusive. Though she hadn't been outside the flights territory many times she knew they where nearing the end of the tunnel system. Looking to her brother she grinned it was almost time, to get out in the big world, and she knew there would be a good breeze perhaps even wind to assist her in beating him to the skies!

The queens wings where starting to itch too, she had no desire to prove her own skills more simply just to be up in the skies feeling the breeze on her fact and mental freedom it would hopefully bring. It still seemed like only yesterday she was a normal dragon back in her and Mareks world and now she was a queen indeed, something she could never of even dreamed of!

"As I'm sure you shall, ah." They had come to the tunnels exit, the base of the mountain still a distance to go but it was a small one. Entirely worth it to give the young dragons the space to practise even though the two adults could easily take off and maneuver where they were. "Not long now, ode to feel the wind brush against our scales." She mused, giving voice to her and she was sure the teens desires.
