[DL-W] The Queen Paces
by
Kat Harris <catwoman@indy.net>
Trinale was getting very tired of Cricket's irritability. Lately even all
the flowers that Trinale had brought her didn't seem to help with
settling her down. The other dragons had tried to keep her entertained
by gossiping with her but Cricket had been so disdainful, that most of
them had withdrawn. This was so unlike Cricket, who was always playful
and happy.
(Well, you try having a bunch of eggs to guard and noone to help you and
not being able to leave here!)
Trinale sighed. She hoped the hatching wasn't very far away. Maybe
Cricket was more irritable because she had a Queen egg to guard also. She
had been so glad to see that when Cricket had clutched. Ever since Deanna
had died, Trinale had been running the warren on her own, and having to
do that, plus keep her Queen happy these last two months, had been very
trying.
She wanted to go for a swim in the big lake, near the waterfall. The late
afternoon sun had been hot and now that it was starting to get dark, the
thoughts of the cool water on her skin sounded so good. But she knew she
couldn't leave Cricket. It was too close to time, and if she was off
enjoying herself in the water for even a little bit, Cricket would throw
another temper tantrum.
(I do not throw temper tantrums!)
Trinale sighed. She hoped the eggs were about ready to hatch.

L'rian and Saul had been out on patrol for about an hour when they saw
flames down beneath them.
Saul cried out "Look!" and pointed them out to L'rian. They both nodded
and dove for the area beneath them. L'rian was very surprised at the sight
he saw beneath him. A lone man, trying to hold off about 5 wraiths with a
bow and flaming arrows! He had never seen anything like this before.
There were a number of broken dragon eggs, some appeared to be half
eaten, and some remains of what appeared to be the mother. Only two eggs
still appeared to be intact.
Suddenly Dandy swerved beneath him and flame burst from his mouth,
totally obliterating the wraith that had tried to sneak in under his wing.
L'rian smiled. This was just what he needed. Patrols had been boring
lately, and it was time to have a little fun with the wraiths!

TAG: Kris!
Ok, the warren is officially open...if you have an approved character
bio, you may go ahead & post your entrance if you wish.....if you are
still working on a character concept....well then hurry up! (just kidding)
Remember, your character must be approved by both Susan & I before it can
be played.
Please, if you create npc's in your posts, add a little bio about them
either to the end or separately so others will know what they are (it can
be something as short as hair color, age, etc...or with a history if the
character is important to you.
Another reminder. Other peoples pc's are not to be seriously maimed or
killed without their permission....also, if you want to plan a serious
storyline with someone, you might want to check with them first...ie, no
writing someone pregnant by another pc without their permission, common
courtesy to check with someone if you want their dragon to win your
dragon's mating flight...etc.....
NPC's are fair game...but again, no killing them without checking with
the npc's creator....
