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!

NOTE: Thread will be unlocked at about midday tomorrow, so that everyone can get a chance to read it and form some idea of how their character/s will react! Enjoy!
Amorandii loved the water, she loved the sand, she loved the way the wind sounded as it made the little waves that were lapping at her bare toes. Her skirt was soaked along the hem, heavy and slapping at her shins as she walked. Her sleeves were short, saving the girl's father from having to roll them up. Her long blonde hair was braided neatly, but wisps were flying free, tugged loose by the gentle breeze that helped take the sting out of the sun. A large straw hat covered her head, protecting her pale skin from sunburn and freckles. It had been a gift from one of the girl candidates, but Amorandii couldn't remember the lady's name. Daddy approved, though, and Uncle Orwind had told her she was pretty! What more could a little girl want?
Amorandii giggled sweetly as she dipped down to pick up a pretty shell, rinsing it off in the shallow water and holding it up to examine a moment later. It was a soft opalescent colour, sparkling in the sunlight as the little girl tumbled it between her fingers for a moment. Putting the newest shell into the little bag she had borrowed from a different Candidate again (they were so generous!) Amorandii continued her bouncy, skipping walk down the shoreline. A short while later, the little girl picked up another shell, cooing cheerfully over it as the pure white sparkled back at her. It appeared to be half of a small clam-type shell, two sides joined together to form a pair of 'wings'. The little girl rinsed it off in the water, still cooing, and put it into the little bag once more. Her hand then shot up to tilt her hat back, watching as a blue dragon flew over head with a small smile. It wasn't Ayyonth, but that was all Amorandii could tell.
The dragon landed with an exuberant splash in the water, and there was a yelp that she assumed came from a rider. Giggling more, Amorandii continued back down the shore line. She had already come a fair way, and though she knew she shouldn't go too far, Amorandii also knew the dragons wouldn't let anything happen to her. Larrikith was very protective of her, a feed off from her father's over protective nature for the small girl. The weather was fine, the waves no more than cheerful lapping, and she had no plans to go near the forest that started further away. Felines would undoubtedly be in there, and she'd heard fearsome tales from the older children in the Creche of wild Whers (a nasty, ugly variation of the dragon! Amorandii couldn't imagine such a thing!) that would gobble up children and even attack dragons! Amorandii didn't want to become anyone's dinner!
Or lunch. It was much closer to lunch time! The six year olds' stomach grumbled in response to that particular thought and Amorandii paused where she was, frowning thoughtfully. Another little bag was tied to her belt, and it had food in it. But, she didn't really want to eat while she walked in the water, she'd like to sit down and enjoy the lunch another of the Candidate's had packed for her. The young man had been very polite! And he'd even told her everything he was putting into the little bag he'd then tied to her belt, just so, so she wouldn't lose anything - but still be able to undo it.
Gazing around, Amorandii spotted a large (to a six year old) collection of small boulders, and made her way towards them, the sand sticking to her toes and getting flicked up onto the wet hem of her dress as she sunk through the top layer of loose sands. It was warm from the sun, and burned her feet after the cool touch of the water. Giving a childish squeal, Amorandii picked up her skirts and dashed up the beach, leaping bodily onto the first rock and scrambling up it. The girl giggled as she went, inventing a nonsensical game and babbling to herself. Spreading her arms wide, Amorandii pranced delicately across the rocks, then stopped dramatically.
"DADDY!"
Amorandii's shriek was high pitched, the type that demanded attention from anyone that heard it, though she was quite a ways down the beach from where the majority of the Weyr were collected. Larrikith heard her, as she had known she would, and contacted the child swiftly; Andi?! What's wrong? B'jin would kill the entire camp if something happened to the child! Larrikith vanished between from where she'd been sprawled with Ayyonth, reappearing not far from Amorandii, ready to save the girl from felines or pluck her from water. Whatever it was that had caused such a shriek to leave her lips.
It was only as she landed, no danger seen, that Larrikith realised the call from the child had held no fear, only shocked surprise, and a demand that her father come to her. She's fine; can you bring B'jin? Larrikith bespoke the three with a mild manner that suggested she was quite aware of the fact that B'jin was freaking out, and that it was completely unnecessary. She crept closer to the child, curious.
Actually, Larrikith spoke with a shocked undertone, her eyes swirling rapidly with -- she had no emotion to describe what she was currently feeling. Don't bring B'jin. Bring everyone else. They were fucking firelizards! She shot the image to Ayyonth alone, the picture filled with all the emotions Larrikith couldn't name.
Andi? Andi, come here! She wasn't about to let her bonded's little princess near them, but she would be very interested to see who would take to the creatures. But, if this was what was in all those eggs they'd been parading around-! Larrikith sat back on her haunches, still staring at the firelizards trying desperately to escape their eggs, and wrapped a clawed paw possessively around Amorandii.
"What are they?" The three words were barely whispered, blue eyes wide as the little girl stared in wonder. Firelizards... Larrikith whispered back, dumbstruck. She didn't see Amorandii take a meat roll from her little bag.
