MIND PAIR
It was late in the afternoon when Einaki
emerged from the deep cavern where she had been alone with her eggs for
the past night and day. Three hatchlings toddled behind her, still a bit
clumsey on their feet, but following determined to make a pairing.
The second drak, following her ore brother was a happy little forest drak.
Skipping, she hopped from one place to the other. She didn’t even fall
once, apparently the first sniffs of outside air had thrilled her enough
to forget about her uncertitude. She was rather handy for a newborn drak.
Balancing on one paw, the forest drak looked at the girl.
"I can ssssee that you need ssome Madalloski
in your life." she chirped happily.
"I believe so Madalloski. My name is Rhaeen."
"As if I didn’t know that."
The green drak snorted, and then skipped after her brother toward the
feeding tables where she promptly showed off her skills by juggling some
pieces of meat and then diminishing the amount as she swallowed one after
the other with happy licks of her agile tongue.
KNIGHT
Philip had waited a long time to pair at Castle
Drockh-Tallahn, Rhaeen had managed to pair a good year before him so she
was the one that had been flying in to visit. But today things would be
different. Naldtan was all grown up and ready to make the trip to Castle
DesCas where both he and Rhaeen would join an armada. All of the Pioen and
Viooltje siblings had put in the request to return closer to home and
though they'd argued at times, Philip was actually looking forward to
seeing everyone on a more regular basis again.
"Lost in thought, I see?"
Naldtan asked.
"Just thinking about moving back home."
"Do you think I'll like it there?"
"Well it is warmer than you're used to." Philip shrugged.
They took off and portaled to Castle DesCas, using the coordinates and
images their trainer had supplied them with. It took some concentration
still but that would ease as they visited more places.
"Look, there are Rhaeen and Madalloski!" Philip shouted.
Madalloski and Rhaeen had noticed the other two at the same time and moved
a little to the side so Naldtan could land safely. Though saftey was a bit
overrated. The two of them had been training as jousters and Rhaeen loved
the thrill of the danger the sport brought. She'd become stronger and
fitter over the last years and hoped Philip would not be taken aback by
the extra muscle she'd developped.
"If he doesn't like it we can just look
elsewhere." Madalloski noted.
"I've known him since we were children." Rhaeen said, "I
doubt I'll love anyone in the same way."
"Every love is different but as
precious." the forest drak told her.
"Look at us being so serious." Rhaeen smiled, "Must be old
age creeping up."
"Try to give advice and this is my
reward?" Madalloski joked, "Well
let's just hope you don't ave to use it."
But they needn't have worried. Philip had bulked up a bit while training
as well and didn't even seem to notice that Rhaeen had kept up with him as
she fit just as well in his embrace as before they'd tried their luck at
the castles.
