Flight of Fancy! [Kara's Flight]

[Samari]

Kara was sunning herself on a warm rock. The breeze was light and refreshing. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She stretched out her wings and trilled softly and stretched her back legs out. She suddenly froze. Her mind went wild with need and desire. She bugled out loud and mentally. She then spread her wings wide and shot straight into the air. The sky seemed to sparkle with her radiance.



------------

K'riv had just finished oiling Molth. He certainly had grown a lot in the past few days. He was suddenly distracted by a wild and erratic lust. He knew then that his little green was Rising. He ran as fast as he could towards the Weyrbowl to watch Kara's flight.

[PhazonDragon]

Kivral wasn't as smart as his larger draconic cousins, but he was no idiot when it came to greens. In particular, a certain one had caught his attention for the past week. Her hide was unusually shiny this last week. That was a sign of things to come... So it was no surprise that Kivral spent the last day stalking this green flitter. It was like a small game of tag to him. Of course, he had to make sure that she didn't see him. T'was a game of hide and seek, combined with tag.

The brown fire lizard sat perched in a tree, gripping the branch with both sets of limbs. His third set hovered in the air just above his body, keeping his balance. A lizard in a tree wasn't an unusual sight, at least not when it came to the vicinity of Rocky Weyr. Sunlight filtered through the branches of the tree, and Kivral shifted along the branch to absorb more of the sunlight. He squawked lightly when the high-pitched chirp of a fire lizard reached his ears. That sounded like the green!

Lovely green Kara of K'riv. Kivral growled a low challenge back, showing that he heard. The brown flitter let go of his grip, dropping through the lower branches of the tree with his wings folded tightly against his sides. Trilling a short love song toward Kara, Kivral snapped his wings open, and scanned the sky for the glinting green fire lizard. The brown's eyes swirled rapidly with reds of pure lust.

being the cautious flitt that he was, Jas was making his rounds. Having made sure that Quith was safe and Shasta was making friends, he was just getting ready to go and make sure Quith was really as ok as she had told him she was. But just before he Betweened, he was caught by an enticing noise. It sounded like Kara, but contained a tone he had only heard when Reyna had flown. Her strangely alluring bugle told him to come to her. And come he did. Picturing her in his mind, he Betweened straight to where she was and, seeing her already in the sky, raced after her. No time for fancy acrobatics. This was a Chase, and in a Chase he must single-mindedly strive to catch her as swiftly as he could, to prove his worth to her magnanimity.

Abhi was sitting on Daniel's shoulder when he heard a bugle of Rising from a Green. It was probably the one called Kara that he had seen from afar on multiple occasions. But not being fully acquainted with her did not keep him from jumping into the air to give Chase. Being rather near to where she was, he gave his bugle signifying his joining and shot through the air after her appealing figure.

[Samari]

Kara trilled with delight as she spotted her suitors. So far 2 browns and a blue. She had seen the sapphire blue before. She made an inverted loop to evade her suitors. She projected a wave of teasing flirtatiousness.



---------------
Dart was hiding in the grasses near the rock Kara darted from. He made a short, loping dash before rocketing into the air. He bugled back to her, letting her know another had joined the flight!

[Wolfy]

Dust was, as usual, asleep when Kara's flight began. At that time, he was awake almost immediately. With a screech, He launched himself off of J'kent's padded shoulder, causing the Greenrider to wince.

J'kent ran after him, as fast as possible, but Dust was for once fast and willing to move. The rider knew what was going on. A green was rising, and Dust was after her.

Dust flew with all possible speed toward Kara. Letting out a loud screech, he dove into the sky after her. There were others, and he let out a growl of challenge at them. His wings wings were flapping strongly in the slight breeze that had spung up, at odds with his usual laziness.

His eyes were red with challange and lust for the beautiful green.

[Topaz]

Moe was prepared this time. The alluring glimmer of the unknown green's hide made the brown antsy for days as he watched her - along with his brown brother, Kivral, to his great annoyance. He had missed the chance to woo the gold Reyna the last time around, but this green might be slightly easier to please.

He was perched on a random ledge in the weyrbowl when he noticed her stir, and even from his height, he could see the reckless lust that burned in her faceted eyes. Like any good suitor he waited for her challenge. As soon as her voice rang out into the crisp mountain air, he shot out from the cliff and went on the Chase, roaring his excitement.

As she looped and teased them, Moe pumped his wings hard to catch up with the little emerald body. She would be his!

[Samari]

Kara bugled with pride as so many brown and blue bodies gave Chase to her! Now SHE was the center of attention, with a horde of males behind her. She suddenly turned and dove straight through the middle of the pack. She made a tight loop and shot in an arc into the air.

[phyrstyr]

Relying on instinct and momentum, Jas followed Kara's every move with eye and body. He dove and tucked, looped and rolled to keep up with her superior Green agility. But he was nearly as nimble as she with all of his acrobatic practicing.

Suddenly she dove among them, but he kept his head and planned an interception course. With the arc she was moving in he could grab her, all he needed was the proper angle. And.... He found it and shot like a sapphire rocket toward the emerald streak. As he moved like lightning straight for where she would be in but a moment, he knew he would not catch her as of yet. But she should be impressed by his determination.

----

Abhi was amazed at how swiftly and beautifully Kara could fly. it looked like she was swimming, she was so graceful. But with his superior stamina he was sure he would be able to outlast the others. Especially that dark Blue that was whipping about almost as much as the Green.

When she dove at them he was confused for a moment. What? wouldn't she be caught? He grabbed at her but she was too fast. Maybe it was time for a strategy.

[PhazonDragon]

As Kivral sought out the Rising green, he took note of the other flitters coming to steal his green. His. How dare they? He would expect it from the inferior blues, but it wasn’t a majority of blues. In fact, there were browns that appeared. More browns than blues--Kivral frowned and snarled a challenge to the brown he came up behind. No brown brother was going to come between him and Kara. The brown fire lizard barked out his own challenge response to the green gem, pumping his wings to speed past the other suitors. Kivral picked up a trace of the green's current flirty nature, at which Kivral crooned softly, trying to gain the green's attention.

Kara turned back, or so Kivral thought. The brown spread his wings to glide toward the green, in an attempt to conserve energy. What happened was not what he expected at this time. The green did a u-turn, flipping over herself and the first of her suitors, to fall down between the mass of Chasing flitters. Kivral, being one of the ones in front, watched the green fly over him, and with an annoyed squawk, the brown turned on a wing-tip to follow Kara down, bugling his own challenge. Kara angled her wings again, and now shot straight up into the air. Kivral bared his tiny, sharp teeth in anger, as his eyes continued to whirl red with bestial lust. The brown turned again to Chase after the green.

[FaizahPandora]

Hobbs was napping when he was awoke by the lusty sound of a flitter Rising. Immediately he knew he wanted the flitter, and he bolted into the sky. Given the fact that Hobbs hadn't noticed any glimmering hides (He had been too busy harassing the pregnant Reyna), he had to look from the sky to find the mass of chasing suitors and their quarry. A green, shining like many air borne emeralds in the sky and absolutely irresistible to the blue fire lizard.

Hobbs flew quickly, much like a shooting stone, towards the green and her other suitors. He knew that she would be his. Hobbs would win her, green Kara, no matter the cost. The others were poor excuses of fire lizards compared to him.

[Wolfy]

Dust hissed again as even more joined the flight. Even though he was older than more than half of these others, he had never flown. He thought it was high time he did.

As Kara swooped past him, he reached out his neck and touched the green. It was only barely, a tiny brush against one of her wings.

He started to lunge forward, but was pushed away by the others, frantic in their desperation to get to the green first.

He hissed with frustration. He would catch her still. She was his, and his alone.

[Topaz]

((My post will go here. But Wolfayne, I need you to fix yours before I post. That little bit about Kara turning and hissing at Dust is godmodding. Please remove/change it. ^-^))

((I still find that a little sketchy, but I don't feel like nitpicking today. ^-^)

Moe emitted a growling croon every once and again as he flew, nearly inaudible against the air whipping past the flitters' heads. He was focused now. He had noticed the number of males around him grow steadily, but he was determined not to be distracted this time.

In the middle of the group, Moe was having a hard time keeping up with the nimble blue ahead of him, and Kivral was certainly making him work for his spot in the sky. But his position seemed advantageous at that moment, as the glittering green ahead of him swooped sharply up in front of the others and dove head long down amongst them.

The bravery! Moe was sure she would hit one of them, but she was small enough to squeeze through the formation of bodies just in time, now heading for the ground. Moe remembered that in Reyna's flight the female enjoyed doing frightening turns like that; going up, then down, then around, and up, and down again. So without hesitation, the dark brown banked left and down to follow his female as she disappeared below him.

[Samari]

Kara trilled in delight as the massive gathering of browns and blues fought to keep up with her. She then did an abrupt turn in her arc, flying upside down and over the pack of lusty flits. She flew up right through the middle of them, taking the time to brush herself against each suitor. Kara flapped her nimble wings with all her might, taking her high into the air. She was starting to tire, and she was sure her suitors could tell. The emerald flitter bugled her challenge to all the males. She was DARING them to catch her, Green Kara.



Dart hissed in frustration as he fought his way through the bigger browns and his own blue brethren. He was severely behind, but he fought to catch up. It was then that the shiny green came upon them, caressing each of them briefly. He trilled and then worked his wings harder to follow her. She was slowing! She was daring them all to catch her, and it sounded serious this time. This was it!




Kara looked around at the mass of chasers. There was one body in particular that caught her eye. This one was nimble and quick like a blue, but strong and sturdy. She trilled and projected the image of Brown Moe and signaled him to claim his prize. She had Chosen!

[PhazonDragon]

Kara was a green that boasted with her agility. All of the twists and flips that she was showing off made Kivral tired only a few minutes into it. The brown was larger and heavier than the blues that Chased the flighty green, and Kivral felt himself slowing. He couldn't let that happen though... This green would be his! The brown flitter beat his wings harder, pulling forward and trying to climb out of the mass of fire lizards. He had fallen behind in a split-second, and that's all it took to allow the smaller blues forward, as well as Moe, his current rival in this Flight, forward. Kivral was determined to get ahead of them now.

Kivral felt confident in his ability here--he pushed his tiny muscles to the extreme, all to win the heart of this brilliantly shining green. She taunted him at every turn, laughing at Kivral as he was unable to pull off the same maneuvers with the same agility. She turned away again, flipping over herself, and Kivral growled in annoyance. Again, the same turns again? Trying to weed out the best fire lizards? Well, she wasn't about to force this brown out! Kivral bared his teeth at the nearest brown, and made his own slower turn to catch up to Kara. It was too late though... The green had already Chosen. Kivral whined, his red eyes now dying down. He had lost.

[Topaz]

Moe could feel the muscles in his body working hard to keep up with the nimble green, and he was sure if he kept up all this ridiculous spinning around, that he would get a kink in his neck. As Kara went into another sharp arc upwards, he made a shallow turn to follow her, and then used his large wings to make up for the lost sky.

As the group of males caught up to the glittering green, she teased them further by grazing against their bodies in the most innocent way, spurring them on further. However, as she pulled away from then again she turned back and looked at.. Moe? She was looking at him, and just him! Her lusty bugle, he knew, was for his ears alone, and he pumped his wings to meet her in the sky. As they embraced, he wrapped his tail and neck around hers and latched his little claws around her arms. Folding up his wings, they began plummeting down to the earth in the age old mating ritual.

[phyrstyr]

Kara seemed to be tiring, which was to be expected with all the acrobatics she was performing to tease and evade her suitors. Because of this he did not feel so bad that his stamina was waning. But when she bugled in challenge, he felt renewed strength. They were reaching the final stretch! He Was so close to making the radiant Green his own!

But then it was over. He whistled in sorrow. He had lost getting Kara. But, there was no helping it. She had chosen after all, and that was her right. Dejectedly, he spiraled down into the lake for a cool down swim, his eyes a sad grey.

---

Abhi was doing fine. He had reached his second wind and was zipping as quick as a Brown could go. Though that still was not as fast or graceful as the Blues or Kara. He truly hoped that the now slowing Green would choose him. He would fight until the bitter end for her if need be. But apparently good intentions and rugged good looks were not enough to make him preferable, for she had chosen one of the other Browns. Abhi kreed in lamentation and, realizing that there was nothing left for him here, flew dejectedly for Daniel. At least His loved the little Brown.
