Recorded by Univiel, rider of starry Kalorith
The dawn was cold; a pale mist hung over the Cathair like a lacey shroud upon the face of a beautiful woman. The suns of Danach fought to get past the fog, but eventually gave up, and retreated into the cloudy sky.
Dark lashes on a pale cheek fluttered, announcing Univiel's awakeness. The lids that had been shut opened to reveal eyes dark with sleep. Something was wrong, but Univiel couldn't place it..
Outside, Univiel could hear a dragon roar angrily..somehow, the voice of the dragon was familiar to her. Suddenly, Univiel was completely awake. She bolted out of bed, undressed except for her sleeping gown, she grabbed a thick robe and shoes, and hurried out into the chilly dawn.
"Kalorith!" Univiel cried, trying in vain to see through the mist. "Kalorith, darling, where are you?"
Univiel stumbled forward, drawn to Kalorith's angry bugling, finding her way through the fog to the CenterPlaza of the Cathair..she could dimly see her milky dragon near the ryanth corrals, and a terror such as she had never known clutched at her heart. Her dragon must not eat, if she was to fly and not be caught by the male chasers.
In the distance Univiel could see the sleepy crowd, and the chaser-dragons's riders, as well as the huge shapes of the dragons. The males were edgy, watching as Kalorith selected her beasts. They drank sparingly of the ryanths's blood, wary of being caught off guard and not be able to catch up with Kalorith, should she launch early. The crowd looked at Univiel, in her pajamas and wild hair, as she screamed to her dragon-
"BLOOD IT ONLY, KALORITH!"
Luckily, it was not too late to keep Kalorith from eating, and Univiel's terror and strong will kept Kalorith's hunger at bay. Finally, satiated, Kalorith spread her massive wings and flew quickly above the clouds. Univiel's eyes grew hazy as she looked through Kalorith's eyes, and the male dragons followed quickly.
As Kalorith, Univiel laughed at the males, flying higher. She may have been a small starry, even smaller than a dark copper dragon, but she was quick and agile, and she was determined not to be caught. She flew farther, twisting in and out of the clouds, confusing her followers, three blues, and one dark copper dragon..Martith, Coreth, Korth, and Heymath.
The chasers followed at fast speeds, and all of them soon overtook her..but that was what Kalorith wanted. She stopped midair, and three of the chasers sped past her..blue Martith, however, did not. He had known that Kalorith would probably pull that trick, and he had waited, hidden in the clouds. Kalorith dived earthward, then pulled out of her dive, a claw's breath away from hitting the hard ground, and ascended once again. Univiel gasped in anger, as a man, not a rider of the chasers, tried to grab her waist. She whipped around, slapping him, her spirit momentarily leaving Kalorith so that she could properly scold him. He left, a soberer man than he had been before he had tried to touch Univiel. Univiel's spirit once again joined with Kalorith's, and she roared her indignation as dark copper Korth tried to grab her. She pulled free of him, swerving to the right, into blue Heymath's arms. He was so confused that she managed to get away, and the dazed Heymath, finally understanding that he had gotten hold of something, held dark copper Korth to him, instead. He quickly learned his mistake, and the two plummeted to the ground, Korth fuming, Heymath's eyes crimson in embarrassment.
Two down, two to go! thought Kalorith, gleefully.
Univiel smiled in agreement down below, pointing and cackling at the disgraced riders of the failed chaser-dragons, who slunk away to their respective cathairs.
Martith, seeing that brute strength hadn't worked very well against the slippery female, decided to lurk in the clouds, where Kalorith would hopefully not see him.
She is quite the femme fatale! Martith thought, wanting her more than ever.
G'ret crossed his fingers, below on the ground, seeing that blue Coreth had gotten ahold of Kalorith. In the next instant, he cried out in pain, because Kalorith had fought his dragon, and Coreth now sported numerous bruises, and small cuts. He shouted in joy, however, because Coreth decided that he was not down for the count, and flew above Kalorith.
Kalorith knew that she was still not free of two males, so she 'treaded' carefully.
Martith saw his chance, and sneakily approached Kalorith's back..just when he was ready to wrap himself around the object of his desire, blue Coreth barreled into him, sending both of them far to the left of Kalorith. Kalorith turned around, only to see nothing. Univiel shrugged below, and Kalorith continued her lazy spirals through the clearing mist. The suns began to peek through the clouds...when a strong aqua wave overtook the small white dragon. Blue Coreth wrapped himself around Kalorith, and as she looked into his eyes, she apologized for hurting him, and both their eyes whirled purple-white, when Coreth forgave her..
Blue Martith landed sulkily, and gazed upward, where the sunlight fell upon the two dragons.
Next time.. Martith promised. I will Catch you..
G'ret took the beaming, blushing Univiel into his arms, and carried her to their room.
