Author: Kelpha
Subject: And yet another candidate.. again. ^_^

::She didn't want to be here.. well.. maybe, but as her father had always childed on her, it was an honor to be picked for anything. But Kelpha didn't want to be here, as excited, and twitched as her nerves kept her, and as fast as an ambled mind went..she wanted to be away from everything /but/ home, in a comforting hold.


With a deft shout, the Weyrleader swung his arm towards the group of men that flocked in front of Kelpha, and the group of gappering women that clucked, and bowed around her, screeching like broddy flits.. they all wanted to impress, all wanted to be a queen rider, all knew what they were doing. Kelpha sure as shardn' knew she didn't, but then again, what type of holder girl did?::


::She was only 17 turns of age, quiet, silent, and stubborn as an old, grizzled heardbeast. She wasn't a stocky, robust femme as most went, nor was she lith, kind, beautiful and of high sex appeal. If she was.. well, by now she would be tending her first born with a husband twice her age. But she could thank the queen of Faranth she wasn't. She was here...


So that ment Kelpha was strong.. well, not exactly. She wasn't pretty, nor by any means manly. Her unruley, auburned sheened tresses flew untaimed from her scalp, brushing down to the bridge of her chin, waved, curled... fizzeled and what-not. Her chisled, hooded eyes were kept at a mid-closed glare, and brows cocked upwards in a flury of mockery and stubbern unwillingness... she was flat out hard to concur with.::


::So with a roll of brod shoulders, the young adolesent cringed as her first shielded steps onto the fernished sands heated her feet until she unwillingly started to hop from side to side, displaying a vocabulary of vulgar curses that flew from her mouth, seconds passing from one syllable to another. "Come on.. move it, he's going to get angry if we don't move smoothly." One girl chiled, hissing into the girls ear, and shoving franticly at Kelpha's back. "Oh shove off, I'll get there when I do... I want to see you walk smoothly across the sands without flinching.. it can't be done, you crazy brod."


Though Kelpha couldn't see the girl's reaction, she sure feel it. Claw like finger nails dug sharply into the ivory cloth fabric that clothed her backside, and with a strangled yelp, Kelpha shuffled faster across the sands, quick to evade the other girl's grasp.::


::And as the line of girls pasted the lumbering queen, bowing low to aknowlage her ranking.. her power, and greatness, Kelpha couldn't seem to bring herself to gaze upwards at the golden egg nesseled in the great mother's foreclaws. While the other girl's preened and crooned over it's lush, greatness, Kelpha could only hop and purr slightly..


Anyone was swooned and awed over the sheer size of the eggs.. the wonder they brought to the human candidates that stood before them.. but Kelpha could only glare.. only sniff with reluntant distain.. she didn't want to be here it seemed.. but who says she didn't hope in impressing a dragon? Any person would give their life for that..::
