A goddess's eyes swirled a myriad of colors as she watched the last of the late wanderers disappear from sight down the maze of corridors leading toward their weyrs. She waited, a jewel statue waiting as still as stone for the right moment to flee from the darkness. She waited, just as perfectly still, for many minutes. It was nearly one a.m. in the morning by the time she stirred. If she could have smiled, she would have. Letting out a long, sweet quavering note that hung in the air and echoed upon the walls. She was telling HerAlexEturynth that it was time. Within moments, she saw an incredibly pale green movement across the wide, warm chamber and a beautiful and familiar figure gliding sinuously beside her.
Alex smiled, a startling sneer so alike of Avril Bitra's in Pern's so distant past. Eturynth, her young green dragonet raising and lowering her wings in time, was beside her, an expression plastered her draconic face, almost as cruelly distant as Her's but just as amazingly beautiful and calculating. Are you ready, my beauty? For it is time, she crooned softly, as she saw the flitter gliding silently toward them from the shadowy depths of the cavernous Hatching Grounds.
Hah! As if I would possibly even be here if I wasn't, Alex luxuriously thought back to the dragon as she stroked the gorgeus flying lizard where she had landed on her shoulder. We'll teach them not to give us proper respect!
Tonight had been well planned, carefully plotted to be on a date not far from that wretched Gold's clutching. Not that it mattered. That paint would take many long days to wear off, even if they had every Candidate, Weyrling, and Rider scrubbing at it nonstop. Yes, this was to be a night to remember.
My love, you must take the paint and hurry. We may yet be interupted in our venture,[/color] Eturynth hissed. I will watch for any intrusions from above[/color] With that, she lifted gracefully into the air.
And Alex got started.
She had long decided what she would paint across the vast Earthian chamber that those maggots had claimed as their own. She had even smartly ordered and slowly received the paint, little at a time, from different places.
She smiled and began with her opinion of that beast, Brynath, and his daughter, the hideous green-blue chimera, Cioeth, who still thought to take Eturynth's rightful place; Eturynth was and would always be the most beautiful!
