Flights

[Note: This flight happened at Starburst Weyr but Aoaoth decided to lay her eggs at Darkling Dawn due to the upcoming Spring Frenzy at Starburst. Also, the males in this flight are all my own, Aoaoth wanted Nunkith to have a challenge in this flight.]

When the time came for Aoaoth to rise, many male dragons began to notice, including some of the sparkling Flurry dragons and a couple of normal colours as well. Blue Nunkith was among them, perhaps not as handsome as some other blues and browns, but still there, and Aoaoth admired that in him.
Tristya, she called out, her eyes as fiery as the Red Star. The time is now for me to rise!
Immediately the greenrider responded to her dragon. Blood only! I�m rounding up the children and H�ran. Choose well!
There was a mischevious smile in the green�s eyes. That shouldn�t be a problem, you can rest assured.
Tristya gathered her children and searched intentively for something to keep the four occupied while Aoaoth struck down and blooded her second kill. After about five more, she rose into the sky, glowing and with flaming desire to get away from those males.
The two Flurry males she recognized as blue horned Zevziic and siamese silver blue Opivith. Fine young males, but could they catch her? Maybe, she thought as her eyes probed the rest of the males. Zevziic was handsome but he would have to win her.
The other males, as she looked them over, were blue, blue and brown. She identified them quickly as they blooded their last kills - bondless blue Brith, brown Polth bonded to another dragon, and blue Nunkith. A tinge of passionate purple swirled into her fiery eyes, but it was overshadowed by her harsh bugle and her racing up into the skies.
Brith was fast, zipping after her in a multitude of well-planned curves. His well-developed intellect was helping him gain on the green, while Aoaoth despaired somewhat that she would not be caught by he who she most desired. Suddenly she felt a shadow on her back, and seeing Opivith descend from above at increasing speed, she dropped in altitude and banked sharply to the right. Unable to stop, Brith and Opivith collided, dropping them out of the flight.
Thought you were smarter, huh Brith? she taunted, not looking as she sped to the east. An abrupt collision with Polth left the brown stunned and confused while Aoaoth made a getaway.
Well, that was close... she murmured as Polth dropped dizzily to the ground.
Nunkith was meanwhile avoiding the range of Zevziic, who intimidated him a little with those shining ivory horns of his. Despairing that Aoaoth would not love him, Nunkith didn�t notice when Zevziic made his move, headbutting his chest and sending him reeling backward and out of sight.
Nunkith! screeched Aoaoth, barreling toward the younger Flurry blue and headbutting him with all her strength in the chest. You menace! You hurt him!
Patience! begged Zevziic, taking several blows and scratches. I only wanted...
I know what you wanted, Aoaoth growled, backing up a bit. You wanted me so much that you hurt my brother! I cannot possibly fly now!
Zevziic�s eyes flashed and he flew towards the green, claws brandished and ready to catch his prize.
He never made it to Aoaoth�s side. In fact, the last thing he saw was a blue body before his and then he was on the ground, his rider just arrived as he�d discovered his dragon chasing without his permission.
Back in the skies above, green like the lush grass and blue like the sky reflected in a stream were brought together once more, the first time since they hatched. Meanwhile, Tristya had come out with her family to watch the glorious sight.
Well that settles it, you got the one you planned. Tristya said to her dragon as she looked on.
Wonder if they�d call our children inbred, brother? queried Aoaoth in her bliss.
Not inbred, Aoaoth, just unique. And think of our white mother. I have a feeling she�ll be contributing to our children...
Joy.
