When the gold hatched, Mylorah found she was holding her breath. She could never make up her mind if she wanted gold or not since a dragon was a dragon and she’d be honoured to Impress to any. But when this gold didn’t even consider her, it was a bit of letdown. Still, she gave a genuine smile and little cheer for August. A glance at her companions showed various emotions and she could tell at least one of them wanted to tease her, likely about being a forever Candidate but really, Orgailian had been Standing for almost the same length of time.
“Gold’s not everything. There’s still plenty of eggs in this clutch and one of them might contain my—our—dragon,” she reminded them and included Zelana in that hope for a dragon. She could easily see her friend on a fighting dragon and any wing would be lucky to have her in it. Maybe that was where she belonged as well. Maybe a pretty blue boy was meant to be hers and not a lovely gold lady. It wasn’t the first time she struggled with those ideas but it did occupy her for a bit until the fight started and her brother was running off.
Was there something in R’nd’s blood that made them all act like crazy heroes? First she jumped in front of a charging bronze to protect Ayontay, T’ryn just had to save everyone, and now Orgailian was running off to… oh. Oh! She hadn’t seen M’quel moving toward the fight but her brother had and got to her in time to keep her from getting herself injured.
Just as she was starting to relax over a crisis being averted, Mylorah saw Ferra being helped off with a bloody leg. How had she missed that! She felt horrible and wanted to run over to the girl but knew she would only be in the way. Instead she looked into the stands and found F’drel in his usual spot near the back… with R’dal sitting on him? She would have laughed any other time but this time it was likely to keep the man in his seat and not go after his sister and she knew that fear and desire well.
