The big bronze, though not the largest, still had energy, and his size and speed aided Brinth as he anticipated the dive. Instead of diving and losing the distance, he flew straight across the distance and was directly beside the queen as she pulled out of the dive. The sun did blind him but he focused on the wings and body of Kaith, finally twining his tail strongly in hers in hopes to snag her.

Gerenanth followed Kaith move for move. He wasn't blinded by the sun, he wasn't going to give up easy and still had energy to spare. He was glad the competition thined but knew that that just got rid of the weaker competition. He was going against the best now. He was thrilled by the thought but didn't let him distract him.

Desanth watched cafully as Kaith dove down and then flew up again. Now he predicted this. He did not dive as far as Kaith, he went a little less. Then when Kaith flew up he followed closely. Now he had moved to be the closest. He flapped his small wings and watched her continue to flap hers.
My queen, if you would please. Save yourself the trouble of flying so much. It will be me to catch you anyways.
Desanth was cocky but he was smart so he began to predict Kaith's next move.
P'ran watched through Desanth's eyes, only P'ran enough to cheer.

Myranenth dove slightly, but as he saw her fly up he stoped, and shot after her.
The bronze snorted as Brinth caught Kaith's tail. The dragon flew closer to Kaith, waiting for her to push away.
And once she did, he would be there to catch her neck with his.

Desanth looked over at the dragon near him. He lowered his neck and prepared to catch her around the nexk with his, he assumed the other dragon was planning this too. He prepared himself to do it first.

Jarth began to grow tired. He used the queens agile tricks to his advantage. He was forced to slow down as his body tired but he would gain every now and the when the queen would do a fancy trick. Then he saw the others try to catch the queen. His only chance was for them to mess up though for three dragons to do this was rare. Yet, he didn't loose hope. F'ren combined completely with his bonded to assist in the flight, since his little bronze needed it.

The muscles in Jesseth’s wings burned with exhaustion as the little brown pushed himself even harder trying to gain back lost ground. But it was to no avail, the queen got farther and farther ahead with each stroke of her large wings. It was no use he wasn’t going to be able to catch the golden beauty. Jesseth bugled angrily at Kaith’s other pursuers before turning and heading for the ledge of his and R’dan’s weyr. The brown dragon lay down and said grumpily ~I would have caught her if I were a bronze~ R’dan had managed to climb of the narrow stairs up to his weyr and sat down next to Jesseth and scratched his eye ridges. ~Of course you would’ve. But I’m glad you’re not a bronze… because then you’d be too cocky.~ Jesseth snorted and closed his eyes. His rider leaned against the brown dragon’s side and stared up into the sky wondering which bronze, for he was sure a bronze would catch her, would finally catch Kaith.

Gerenanth saw the others position themselves to catch Kaith. He wasn't going to be outdone so easily. He flew into position ready to catch the gold at the oppurtune moment.

Desanth smiled as he prepared to catch Kaith. He loosened his muscles and then tightened them. With a bit of a leap off the air he slowly spiraled towards Kaith but his wing brushed against Jarth and Desanth faltered. He looked back, thinking that somebody tried to hurt him. At that he fell back and slightly hit the trees before he spread his wings and glided off. His stomach was scratched by the trees as he tried to gain altitude but now he wasmore tired. He struggled to try and get to the queen.
ooc|| What a beautiful new layoutnand sorry to hear about Lelia...

As Derenanth hit Jarth his constant speed was alterered. That caused him to loose distance. By the time he regained himself he knew it was now impossible to catch the queen. He flew back to his ledge.
F'ren sighed and walked to his weyr.
Do not worry I can always try again. Jarth sighed, though he too was dissapointed.
Your right. Besides I don't think I am ready to be weyrleader anyways. With that F'ren fell asleep.

Kaith whipped around angrily and snapped at the smaller dragon. She yanked her tail out from his grasp and twisted away, not realizing that Myanenth was ready to catch her.
(Nike....your bronze is the winner. Congrats to the new Weyrleader. You and I are going to be in charge of the Weyr. Once I change the password I will PM it to you. That is if everyone agrees.)
Christae felt her dragon's tension mounting. She would soon be caught. With the last of her human self she looked to see who was left in the chase.

Gerenanth was about to catch Kaith when to his suprise she was already caught. He flew back down. He was beat to the punch. ~Don't worry Gerenanth, it worked out for the best. Besides if it wasn't for that dragon you would have won~, he said comforting his dragon. Thank you G'han, your words are appreciated. The dragon didn't seem to mind to much about losing. G'han went back to Rhia, "Gerenanth didn't catch her. I guess that's a good thing". He said still unsure. He shrugged it off and said to Rhia, "Let's continue where we were, relaxing to some reading together".

((It let me. I cleaned up a ton of the posts and changed the names so it showed what we were and stuff.))
Myranenth caught Kaith's neck and pulled her to him. He bugled happily then crooned to the queen. His mate!
Sh'iron saw Myranenth snag Kaith's neck, and ran to Christae and draged her into the weyr. It would be the safest place.

Desanth frowned as a dragon flew Kaith. P'ran came and scratched the dragon's eye ridges. It's ok, Desanth. You did well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kia looked up as she saw a dragon entwin with kaith, his bugle echoing through the Weyr. She smiled, it was just like Zim, a gold and bronze. It was odd, how these things went. Always highest together. Still, this was a happy event and it meant her dragon was coming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daran heard a loud bugle sound and looked up. He saw gold and bronze hides shining in the sun. Did Kaith fly? He smiled, hatchings were always interesting. He made a note on a scrap paper to get to the hatching early, he. Daran like to have a good spot to watch. He finished the short song he was writing and looked outside to get a better look of Kaith.
ooc|| That's so cool... how it says I am a candidate, heh... awesome!

Mneith gave up and flew back to the Weyr. His rider was a bit peeved at him but since he hadn't caught the gold she relented. Rhia nodded to G'han. "Yeah, let's keep reading." She sat down, forcing herself to calm down. She and the bronzerider had begun to grow closer during the last week and she was glad that neither of their dragons had caught Kaith.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaith allowed the large bronze to twine with her, angling her wings so that they glided easily across the sky, prolonging the mating flight even more. They flew with the wind, not against it. The sun warmed their bright hides as they flew, interlocked.
Christae lost all sense of her human self as her dragon was finally caught. She allowed herself to be drawn into the weyr, unable to think straight. The dragons of the weyr returned to their normal colors. They had still been a bit off color but now, with the excitement of a mating flight the dragons were back to their normal self.
(Fade out....to the morning after)
Kaith lay up on her ledge with Myanenth curled around her, almost possessively. Christae slowly awoke, sensing that something had changed. She immediately looked for her gold and was suprised to see a large bronze lying next to her. She felt the warmth of someone next to her and turned, drawing the covers up to her neck, alarmed. She recognized the bronzerider known as Sh'rion and the memory of the day before returned to her in a flood. She was now officially Weyrwoman and this man sleeping in her bed was her Weyrleader.

ooc|| Wow, it must be odd to wake up and see somebody in your bed... heh
ic|| Kia woke up, looking at the familiar features of the candidate's barracks. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and smiled. Kaith had flown, the clutch would be coming soon. She would be getting a dragon! Kia could not believe it. She went to the wash-room and took a bath. As she slid into the water she smiled. A little laugh escaped when she thought of Christae waking up with Sh'rion there. Tokagae stay curled in a drawer, resting.
ooc|| Are you making a lot of layout choices for us or something?

Myranenth flew her. Proud and happy. It was like a normal flight, but with this one, he became the Weyrleader's dragon!
--------------------------
Sh'iron woke the next morning feeling Christae tens up when she saw him.
Myranenth was laying with Kaith, and wing laid over the queen.
"Morning." Sh'iron said sleepily, and small smile twitching at the corrners of his mouth.

Christae looked at him when he spoke. "Morning." Her voice was hesitant. "I suppose this means we are weyrmates." She paused as the realization sank in. "I'm officially Weyrwoman!" Her voice was suprised. She had been doing all of the work but she had not been given the respect, except for a few people like Holgath the Caravan Master.

Nira woke up turning in her bed.
Good morning mine. Siarath said energetically.
Nira grumbled before replying. Morning. She said tiredly, completely forgetting about yesterday. She then bolted into an upright position. Kath had flown yesterday. Nira glanced around looking to see if her dragon was jealous. She forgot that due to Siarath's large size, they could no longer sleep in the same room.
I was jealous yesterday. Siarath said after listening to Nira's thoughts. But I don't don't think i am ready for a mate, not yet. The green added.
Good... Nira stated as she slipped into a green top and black leggings. She then began to brush her har. ...because I know I am not ready for a mate yet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Miya woke up. She grumbled as she dressed. Yesterday there had been an amazing site. A flying of a gold, and a bronze caught her. She grumbled unhappily. And I had to miss it because I was stuck in the lower caverns on stupid kitchen duty. On of these day's Christae is going to over work me, and when I impress my dragon won't be very happy. She thought, raising her spirits slightly as she thought about getting a dragon. Now that Kaith flew I am closer to getting an egg. Miya realized. She smiled a smile that looked almost evil though she wasn't thinking of any bad thoughts. Just the happy ones of impressing a dragon. But she was stuck with that smile, just the same way she was stuck with her bad attitude.

Sh'iron grinned. "Yes it does mean that we are." He pulled himself up and sat with his back against the pillows.
A grin was on his face as he watched Christae. "Yeah you are Weyrwoman, and if we get another queen in here that means,
Sr. Weyrwoman for you."
