The twins were excited, their father was coming to Telnor Warren 
today to collect them and their thing for the move to their new 
home at Cleft Warren. They were finally going to be together again 
in one place. Not that they didn't like staying with Gram and 
Gramp's, they loved them, but they missed their father.

(Cleft Warren)

Dan'yar had just about given up on finding an apartment that was 
both spacious enough for the three of them to live comfortably and 
had separate bedrooms for the girls. They were getting to the age 
where they were wanting a space of their own.

He had just about an hour before he and Shinner were scheduled to 
leave for Telnor and pick up his daughter's to bring them back to 
Cleft, when he finally found what he was looking for. The perfect apartment.
There were even a stair way of sorts cut into the natural 
rock face of the cliff, so the girls would be able to come and go as 
they pleased. They wouldn't have to depend on a dragon being available 
to bring them down.

As he stood in the center of what was to be the main living area 
picturing where he would set up the things they would bring with 
them from Telnor, Dan'yar smiled and thought of how lucky he was 
that no one else had found this place. It was perfect, as if somehow 
made just for him and the girls.

Off the living area to the right was a small alcove that would work 
out well for the kitchen area, with plenty of space to set up their 
shelves and table. Towards the back of the main room was a small hall 
way that split into two wider halls. At the end of the right hand hall 
way it again split into two room like areas. He would make the bigger 
of the two rooms his own bedroom, the second room would be the 
bathroom. The hall way to the left also split into two medium sizes 
rooms, one for each daughter, plus a smaller room they could use for storage.

Layla would have loved this place, the thought crept into his mind. 
A single tear spilled down his cheek. Gods above how he still missed 
her!

"Hey Bro, this place is great!" he heard his brother, Farr'in call 
out as he came back into the living area after looking the place 
over. "The girls are going to love it, especially after they see 
that bath tub. Why it's almost big enough for the twins to swim in.

Dan'yar wiped the evidence of the tear away before turning to face 
his older brother. "So? When do you think you'll be able to help me 
put the plumbing fixtures into this place and make it livable?"

Farr'in thought about it for a minute before giving an answer, going 
over in his mind what supplies they would need from the supply caves 
before they got started. "Well I still have two other apartments to 
lay pipe in this afternoon, but I can start here after that." he 
remarked, "I'll find Turner when you're gone and have him check to 
see what we'll need to begin."

"Sounds good to me," Dan'yar smiled knowing it was best to leave this 
kind of work to those who knew how to do it. He stared to add 
something else, but a loud challenging roar suddenly filled the air.

A mating flight was about to start.

Both men all but ran to the dragon's ledge outside and down the stair 
way, racing towards the group of males riders gathering around the 
lone female. Shinner and Farr'in's, Tergath were both already air 
born and in pursuit with the rest of the male dragon's trying to see 
which one would be victorious in winning her for the night.

Dan'yar could feel the heat of desire begin to burn inside of him. 
He felt the sensual feelings over coming him, surrounding him and he 
let them come. Another time he might have fought against them, but 
here everything was new, the past was the past and he still lived. 
Still felt. 

Unaware of anything else except for the renewed feelings of arousal, 
and the heat coursing though his manhood, something he never thought 
he'd feel again, much less wanted to..... 

He heard Farr'in's deep anguishing cry of pain and his mind suddenly 
came slamming back into his own consciousness. "Farr'in !!" he cried 
out, instantly moving to his brother's side, the mating flight for him,
forgotten over the concern for his brother's well being.

"I'm all right," Farr'in groaned batting Dan'yar's hands away. "It 
was just the blast of emotion from Tergath when he and that Black 
collided. Tergath is all right now that the shock has worn off, but 
he tells me that the black faired much worse and he wants us to go 
check on him."

Dan'yar was getting the same message from Shinner concerning the 
unknown black. <And you might have someone call for the medic, his 
rider might be hurt after what the dragon just put him through.> 

It was some distance from where they were to where the black and his 
rider had gone down, but it wasn't long before Dan'yar and the 
other's could see the rider up and moving around. He saw the man 
moved around to the side of the great beast as if  checking for an 
injury and then turned to face the advancing crowd. The young man 
stood tall, his baring proud.

Dan'yar was the first one from the warren to speak, asking the red 
headed boy if either he or his dragon were in need of medical 
attention.  Then he introduced himself before welcoming the rider 
and his black to Cleft Warren. 

"You will need to talk to the Warrenlady Cynthia when she has time, 
and in the mean time it might be a good idea if you can keep your 
dragon from pulling anymore stunts like what just happened..." 
Dan'yar smiled as they started back towards the warren. "I think 
my brother might need a day or two to deal with his dragon while 
Tergath is trying to come up with new ways to win the next mating 
flight."
