Elloren moved extremely carefully through the clutch, looking for an egg to touch. She even counted them and stopped at the twenty-seventh because she liked the way it looked. It wasn't the gold one not because she didn't think she was worthy of touching it but because she was pulled in this one's direction, maybe even tugged. She fixed her eyes on the shell and squared her shoulders. She was meant to ride a dragon. A strong presence, one who wished to protect others, she hoped. She wasn't meant for something small, not with her build, nor delicate.
Bold and bright would be the best sort for her, now that she'd made a kind of peace with her height issues. A dragon didn't care about how tall she was, anyway, and being long in the leg was a good thing for a dragonrider. She was meant to be in the sky, she was meant to Impress! It was everything she wanted, more than knitting, more than anything from the very first time she'd set eyes on a dragon. There was something in her that said yes, that's where my home is, no matter what hide the dragon might wear.
Her home would be with her dragon and Pern could stuff it if they had a problem with it. Let others ride gold. Her path was going to be different, she knew it.
