Author: Akema & Wista
Subject: She wanders around on the sands.

She stops and leans against one of the stone walls, staring at the clutch of eggs. She examines each egg for a time, thinking of the little unborn dragons inside them. Soon, she knew, each one would hatch, and be joined with one of the humans waiting on the sands. Will she be one of those chosen, she wonders, or will she be left standing on the sands? Her attention returns, again and again, to the queen egg. She desperately hopes the little queen will chose her as its rider, but she knows that the choice will be the dragon's in the end.

Wista takes off from her shoulder, and once again takes off towards the clutch, this time arrowing towards the queen egg. Akema calls the green back, sharply, and feels a touch of regret when the firelizard chirps apologetically and ducks her head beneath a wing. Chuckling, she gently strokes the soft hide of her little friend's neck. "Don't be sorry, Wista. My tone was a bit stricter than your action warranted." She feels, keenly, the 'lizard's relief at her forgiving tone, and cringes a little when she realizes that the green was only sensing and acting upon her own desires. She decides to send the 'lizard away, lest her agitated state inspire Wista to further feats. "Go on, little sister, and perch on a wall," she suggests. "No, you're not being punished." Reluctantly, Wista takes wing. Akema feels the little creature's disappointment at leaving her, and wonders whether she'll have such a close bond with her dragon. Closer, she decides, on the grounds that dragons are far more intelligent then firelizards.

She glances around, trying to spot her brother, and finally sees him talking to two other Canidates a few lengths away. She considers joining him, then decides against it, and returns to contemplating the eggs. Reflecting upon Teagan's earlier comments, she wonders if she should feel ashamed at wanting the queen so badly. Then she shakes her head fiercly. No, she decides there's nothing wrong with it. After all, if everyone wanted greens, there wouldn't any queen riders!
