| Cathair Fionabhainn Flight! -- RESULTS of the flight, 8/28/02! Once again, the Nexus records room was alive with activity. Somewhere between the Kshau Isle on Paniya/Alskyr, the Healing Den, and Zekira, this nebulous room that exists upon many levels of reality seemed to attract all sorts of people. The blue skinned and heavy-tailed Zekiran native Ten stared at the two others in the room. One was the lushly beautiful Ambrosia, a red-panda morph, and the other a Blackbottom-haired woman named Trin. "I thought I felt some interest in coming here this afternoon," Ten said, when the trio had tensed up and then abruptly relaxed. Apparently they'd all come from different parts of reality. "I think we all have an idea about why we're here." "I do," Trin announced. "This pink monster I bonded a couple years back happens to want to fly a mating flight. She's being totally annoying." "They're insufferable, when they're like this," Ambrosia said, "I can't believe how much I want to--" she abruptly stopped talking, and if she'd had skin instead of fur they would have seen her cheeks blushing tremendously. I want to join you all, but this room is much too small for me... Spoke a voice into the trio's heads. Ten furrowed his silvery eyebrows, and turned to look at the more Healing Den side of the room. Though it was dark, he could see the vague outline of a dragon, standing in a narrow doorway. "We'll include you," Trin said. "I just got the oddest thought... We need a place where our dragons can meet properly." By this time, Ambrosia was sitting at one of the computer terminals in the large room. She moved her deft fingers across the ergonomic keyboard, and the screen above her hands came to life. "There, see, all you need to do is this little search..." "How do you know that?" Trin asked, but Ten stepped in and relayed the visual images to the rainbow colored male in the doorway. "I don't even know... But anyway look, there are a lot of flights, but there are only a couple that they'd all be able to fly. Your dragon is female," Ambrosia said to Trin, who nodded. "And pink? Hm, pink dragon!" She giggled a bit. She typed something in. "Mine is a female rainbow, and yours?" She looked at Ten. "Gold." He said. Both women were startled - then he added, "Male gold, from Vella Crean." The girls nodded, "that would be an unusual clutch, but whatever... Gold male. And, our friend out there?" Ten said, "rainbow male, named Nimbus I believe." Ambrosia typed those things in, gathered the names of the dragons, Arumdaoth and Luyuth, and her own Amaryllisth. Then, they waited a bit. Shortly the screen became bright with information. Flights were common on the old world, but becoming far more interesting the farther away from it they looked. One in particular caught their eye. Ten said, "on Danach, click on that listing." Ambrosia did so, and came up with an odd name. "Braethas Raug?" She said, "did I pronounce that right?" "Who knows," Trin said, "but it looks interesting. Rainbow colors, big planetary conjunction... Looks fun. Looks like a bunch of people will be at that." What they didn't know was that she was thinking, 'lots of pickpocketing to get in on!' "It does sound interesting. Nimbus? Would you care to comment?" Ten asked. I think it would be a good flight zone. Who else is participating? "So far?" Ten said, examining the screen, "oh," he said, eyes wide at the image provided for the extremely beautiful rainbow queen Tassanadrath. "Look at her." She is worthy of our attentions, your dragon's and my own. Certainly! "There's a lovely lavender," Ambrosia said, "and a large green... Oh, a blue female!" She giggled. "Copper bronzes, punkin oranges, wow... This is quite the flight already!" She was becoming giddy with excitement. Or was it Amaryllisth? Both - sign us up!! Please! The rainbow dragoness pleaded with her rider. "Done and done," Ambrosia said, clicking on several interesting links. "They'll want some of our dragon's information, so maybe you could type it in for Nimbus, Ten?" Though his tail got in the way - moreso than Ambrosia's thick one did, he added his information. They wound up with a print out - how the computers in the Nexus libraries had their images was well beyond their vague understanding, but they got images printed out and their listing went up on Cathair Fionabhainn's flight board. Four dragons, three riders, and high expectations! ((Below is their printout. I have tried to make their scales correct for rider-to-dragon, but each dragon is NOT in scale with the others.)) |
| Gold Male Arumdaoth Hatched at: Vella Crean Age: around 6 Ridden by: Ten of Zekira Arumdaoth is a very large dragon, at least the size of a hefty bronze. He has a distinct bronzey attitude, but knows that his coloration is something out of the ordinary even if his rider doesn't realize it. He is a strong flier, and very determined. When he sets his mind to something, he usually gets his way. He is set on trying to mate with the incredible Tassanadrath. Ten is a Zekiran, formerly a Slave of Vanya Sengihr, and an experiment created out of two very talented male donors - but they didn't give their permission and didn't really acknowledge the boy until he became Dragon Tuned. Ten is in his 40s now, though his life expectancy is more than 150. He has strong mental abilities, such as telepathy and a large amount of emotion control which he can exert over even unwilling subjects. He is tall and elegant, more cute than handsome. He is a well respected member of his society. Ten is also a bit cruel, and loves to make his old Master Vanya's life complicated. |
| Rainbow Female Amaryllisith Hatched at: Calyeni Age: around 5 Ridden by: Ambrosia A small rainbow dragoness, but very healthy and somewhat burly. Her strong, large wings will carry her quickly, and she has a good amount of stamina for flying. She is used to long distance flights, as her rider is a merchant. This will give her an edge in the length of her flight, though she is quite small so her suitors might have to be of the smaller size groups. Amaryllisith is not a demanding queen, like many golds. But she is picky beyond belief. When she is denied something, she often pouts loudly. Soon enough she's found something else to keep her interest up, though. She has her eye on one or more of the smaller males, or perhaps even the rainbow Nimbus coming along with her. Perhaps the handsome Kyoto, the red-black male, but she will first have to pry his golden-green partner away from him... Ambrosia is a furry-morph Red Panda, daughter of a well known merchant. Her sickly mother left her duties to her daughter at a young teen age, and Ambrosia has excelled in her work - be it math, accounting, distribution of duties, ordering, and commanding people. She is a likable, very beautiful woman. She is around 23 years old. |
| Rainbow Male Nimbus Hatched at: CyDragonstake/gifted Age: around 4 Ridden by: No one - this dragon is unbonded Nimbus was brought to the Healing Den at a young age, but not so young that he was required to bond to a rider or another dragon. Head Knight Sherra bestowed this lovely rainbow dragon upon Baeris, who immediately put him to work helping to organize and clean up the Cross Gender Frenzy hatching sands - something that he relished and did well. Nimbus is a strong willed male, a little too curious for his own good, and certainly has his nose in places it might not belong. Headstrong and full of himself, almost more than Arumdaoth, he is a good flier but has little experience in real large open flight areas. Whenever he can, he gets outside of the Healing Den to stretch his multi-colored wings, but he has never chased a female before. He is about the size of a brown, with wide wings capable of long flights, but his turn radius leaves a bit to be desired. He will attempt to chase the silver-rainbow queen, however it is very unlikely that he'd catch her, since he has little experience in doing so. Maybe she'll think he's charming. But then too, there are lots of other females of the appropriate size or type for him too. He'll have fun. |
| Pink Female Luyuth Hatched at: Keandyn Age: around 3, first flight Ridden by: Trin of Blackstone Of average size or a little small for a female, this brightly pink girl is ready for her first flight. She is quick in the air and on the ground, and has a way of second guessing other dragons in flight. Her long tail may be an asset, she turns quickly with it - but it may turn out to be her bane, if a male latches on to it too soon! Trin and her sister Mira bonded together, and they are both a bit of thieves, a little bit of informants, and little of whatever they want to be at the moment. Trin knows that her dragon wants her to settle down with someone, have a slightly more calm life, but Trin knows nothing more than the thrill of chasing, or being chased, by something unknown. Luyuth would love to see what the big Ryslen born berry-blue could do in the air. She's heard things about those Ryslen dragons. She hopes that Trin will like the rider of that dragon, but she doesn't have really high expectations of any long term pairings. |
