Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Berruth had friends among the wild firelizards and the firelizards of Katila. He fought T'rel on this at first, on what he was being asked to do, but finally agreed to speak to them when the man wouldn't let it alone. R'ana could take a prank. He had told the lizards not to hurt her, just chase her a bit. It would be just a prank.
T'rel waited to signal them until Berruth was sunning on a hilltop with Shanith, the bronze talking to her excitedly about a patch of flowers he had seen not long ago. R'ana was in the bathing house. With luck she would streak naked from the bathing house. He doubted she would though, knowing the luck the green rider had she would be able to get bathed and dressed before the fair descended on her.
There was a scream suddenly, and a blur of a woman raced from the bathhouse wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Satisfied, T'rel noted the scratches on her forearms, and cheeks. That would teach R'ana to encourage her green to dump nasty things on his head. Having a bucket of wherry shit dumped on him yesterday in the middle of the gather square...R'ana had to pay. This was only fair. He headed for his hut, whistling, and keeping his thoughts well hidden from his bronze. Berruth wouldn't like that R'ana had gotten hurt.

As she ran, R'ana had no idea what she had done to piss off the firelizards. At the moment she honestly didn't care. Top on her list of priorities was escaping the fair. Shanith, as usual, was no help though at least this time it was because R'ana couldn't wake her green up!
R'ana stopped focusing on waking Shanith and turned her mind towards finding shelter. Cover. She needed to take cover. Firelizards dove, hissed and chattered at her, and for a moment, R'ana was sure she spotted Z'ia's demented green there. None of B'run's lizards were there, but she spotted a flash of gold, and a flash of blue she thought she recognized as Rhaedalyn's Muffin.
She stumbled, tripped, and felt them all descend on her. Her knee flared in pain and tiny teeth dug into her arm before she shook the lizard off, forced herself to her feet and sprinted for home.
By now she was panicked enough that she didn't notice she was headed in the opposite direction of her hut, and she was running across open ground and not at all protected from the angry fair. Another scratch convinced her that she wouldn't make it home and she looked around, forcing herself to think. There! A hut!
She locked her gaze on the door and found enough for a last sprint, feeling Shanith finally begin to wake and pepper her mind with confused panic. She caught a glimpse of bronze hide through dragon eyes, felt the confusion fade to be replaced by betrayal, protective fury and sheer rage. Shanith roared, snapped at the bronze, and took off as R'ana burst through the door, slammed it shut behind her and leaned on it, panting and shaking like a leaf.
Shanith? What the heck? The hut shook a bit as a dragon landed on the roof and a distinctive roar shattered the air. Shanith had arrived to drive off the lizards, some of which had popped into the hut then popped out as soon as the dragon had roared. Shanith took off again, hovered, then landed, crooning in an attempt to coax her rider from hiding. First to make sure that R'ana was okay, then she'd shred Berruth.
You should come out. The lizards are gone.
"Not going back out there, they'll be back, they'll be back, they want my blood, I did something and I don't know what but they'll be back."
R'ana. The hut's not empty.
R'ana whirled then and blinked. She recognized that man. A blue rider! D'hys! She eyed the door then, trying to decide if she was safer outside than in. She backed up into the door, cracked it open and heard the chaos going on out there when the lizards spotted the open door. Maybe she could hide under Shanith?
A touch to her wonderful, protective green's mind made her instantly certain that hiding under her dragon wouldn't work, Shanith wasn't being careful where she stepped as she used wing swipes and snaps at the air to clear the air around her. R'ana was still tempted to try it though. Might be safer out there than in here!
