Darrkon and Calindeth arrived at the alke and noticed a number of riders
had beaten them there.  As they landed Amethyst launched herself into
the air.  Darrkon quickly dismounted and Calindeth leaped after the
queen, the downdraft of his powerful wings kicked sand up onto his
rider.  More dragons and their riders arrived, they too quickly
dismounted and watched their dragons join the chase.

Darrkon felt the lust of his dragon transferred to himself.  As Naomi
began her sensuous dance he joined the other riders who had encircled
her.  He paid them no heed because he was sure they would soon be gone.
This confidence he was feeling also came from Calindeth.  Naomi danced
throughout the circle, teasing the men.  Encouraging them then denying
them what they sought.  Darrkon felt the heat inside him spread like a
fire through brush.  His chest burned so hot he swore he could breath
fire himself.  Every sense became amplified.  He saw Naomi's muscles
twitch as she danced among the men.  He heard her steps in the sand and
the movement of her body.  He smelled the lust which would have become
overpowering if not for the gentle breeze he felt.  All of this was
familiar to him, He had felt these things during Calindeth's other
mating flights.  Then as Naomi drew her hands over his shoulders, his
arms and his chest a new sensation came over him.  The gentle breeze
became a rushing wind, and he was irritated because he was surrounded by
dragons.  But he was also confident that he could beat them all.  It was
then that Darrkon knew he was thinking and feeling as Calindeth.  This
was the strongest their bond had ever been.

Calindeth knew the strategy of every dragon here.  Those in the lead
would fly at a pace to tire those in the rear quickly and then race
among themselves.  Those in the rear would fly and conserve energy so
the lead would tire out, then the best enduring dragon would win the
flight.  Their only mistake was they didn't count on Calindeth who
didn't plan on either course of action.  He decided this would be an
allout speed flight, the one who could fly the fastest the longest won.
But first he had to lessen the numbers, and he had a plan on how to do
it.

The grey dragon lifted himselff high above the mass of pursuers, making
sure to stay above the middle.  When he felt he had reached an adequate
height he found the space he had previously occupied and plunged toward
it.  One of the straggling dragons began to move forward so Caindeth
increased the speed of his dive to avoid the ruination of his plans.  He
screamed a challenge to the other dragons seconds before he shot through
the gap.

Many of the more experienced dragons veered off to aviod a midair
collision.  Their chances of catching up to the others were now dashed.
Some of the younger dragons dove to meet his challenge.  If joined
dragons fought during mating flights, as wild dragons do, answering his
challenge may have mattered.  But what the young dragons didn't take
into account was his superior momentum.  When they dove after him they
were left underneath and away from the pursuit.  In order for them to
catch up they would have to expend most of their flying energy.  So they
had no chance of winning now either.  Calindeth adjusted his wings and
his body and used his momentum to carry him back into the back of
pursuers.  "Score one for the wild one."  He thought as he chuckled to
himself

The pack was now thinned out to less than half.  The grey dragon felt
his passion growing even more inside him.  "Now it's time to end this."
He said to himself as he began to increase speed.  The pack thinned even
more, soon it was only two dragon and himself left in the chase.  The
dragon on his left he recognized as Sirius.  Darrkon had met his human
A'shair.  He had no clue who the green and black dragon on his right
was, but he really didn't care either.  This was to be his day.  After a
few more moments Sirius was left behind, and it was just him and green
and black

Calindeth could see the other dragon tiring, but there was a
determination that kept his competition coming.  Calindeth wasn't sure
how much longer he could last himself.  He had reserved energy for the
solo chase of the queen and decided to delve into that.  Finally
Calindeth saw the other dragon break away, and Amethyst was left to him.
The flight had tired him, but upon realizing that he had finally won a
mating flight he received a surge of energy.  He saw the queen pull a
bit further away from him, which only further solidified his resolve to
have her.  The grey dragon knew he was at his top speed but the desire
he felt made him reach deep and execute one final powerful wingstroke.

Naomi brushed against Darrkon again and brought him back to himself.  He
now saw that there was only two suitors left besides himself.  A'shair
and a stranger.  Soon A'shair walked away his dragon defeated.  Darrkon
felt his passion grow even more.  His resolve and confidence that Naomi
would be his also grew.  After a few more moment the stranger walked
away and Darrkon felt and hot burning desire wash over him that nearly
overwhelmed him.  Finally he knew Naomi was his.  As Darrkon walked
toward her he felt non of the insecurity that he normally felt around
women; non of the fear that he would be rejected haunted him; non of the
worry that he would not be able to satisfy her came to mind.  All that
concerned him was the quenching of the raging passion that ran through
his body and satisfying the desire he knew Naomi felt for him.  And as
he reached her,
