Th'rin
***
<<Day 9 - Afternoon>>

>"Please, Th'rin, just let me explain..." Heat filled her, passion
>enveloped her... she suddenly became a vixen, her eyes shining with heat
>... "Here, Th'rin right here..." her hand came up and opened her blouse --
>and then she laughed, dancing away from him, running down the steps and
>out onto the green -- as Chrysthal soared into the air screaming a
>challenge.

>A multi-colored ribbon of male dragons rose in pursuit of the magnificent
>lavender dragon who dove and screamed her challenge:

>And Merissa on the green danced out onto the green, laughing and singing a
>bawdy song as she teased and taunted the men that pursued her... leaving
>Th'rin alone on the ledge to watch in dismay... Th'rin who was joined to
>the female Areena, who could never win Chrysthal's mating flight....

Th'rin groaned unhappily. Why now! Why couldn't Chrysthal have waited ..
just a little longer!

<It was her time.> Areena told him, <Isn't see magnificent!>

<What am I going to do, Areena ..>

<Why do you need to do anything. It is only mating, Th'rin.  I can never
mate with Chrysthal, but I will love no other dragon  the way I love her.>

Th'rin looked at his dragon. He'd never heard her speak of love about
another dragon. He didn't know that dragons were capable of that sort of
feeling.

Areena chuckled, <Of course we are! It's just not linked to mating as it
seems to be with you humans. We have dragons we care about .. dragons we
despise .. and dragons that are closest to our hearts. Chrysthal is like a
mother to me .. she is also a friend and a ledgemate. And she is so
beautiful. How could I not love her.>

Th'rin groaned as Chrysthal was caught .. as was Merissa ..

>Merissa was caught up in the arms of the dark-haired young man, he grinned
>in triumph and carried the petite queen rider to ... her own apartment ...
>past the gaping Th'rin who watched as they swept past -- swept up in their
>dragon lust -- straight to the bedroom which Th'rin and Merissa had
>shared...

"I have to get out of here .." he groaned and urged Areena up. She complied
and allowed him to mount her.

<Where shall I take you?>

<I don't know .. somewhere I can be along.> he thought for a moment, <To
the falls .. it's quiet there..>

Areena nodded and spiraled down to the edge of the foliage that surrounded
the falls, letting her rider off. Th'rin gently patted her nose before
slipping in to get some peace from his aching mind. It was soon clear,
however, that he was not alone.

Grunts came from behind a bush to his left. He moved to peek and found one
of the losing dragonriders taking out his frustration at losing in the arms
of some other woman. He quickly backed up, not wanting to watch! He headed
the other direction and soon came upon another pair! Damn! Did everyone
come here for that sort of thing?

Finally he found a quiet space away from the sounds of bodies slapping
together. He slid to the ground and began to sob. His world was collapsing
in around him .. and he did not know how to stop it.

Regards,
Th'rin & Areena
