Amaranth's Den part 3 - Adulthood and Back to Zekira!

This is about the right scale for Racy and Amaranth!

Ryslen's sands were filled with eggs, from so many different queens, that Racynioth seemed a bit jealous. I do not have a nest yet. When do I get to have a nest? "Oh my..." Amaranth chuckled, "well, sweetie, let's get you home to Zekira first. Your clutches will be very important, and there are a couple ... well, one, guys I want you to meet. Before you go making any rash decisions about who to father your lovely nest eggs." I know who you meeee-an, Racynioth chanted in her mind, and gave off a pleasant dragon giggle. You have thought of this Haesh so often I wonder if he's got some strange control over you. "No... no," Amaranth pondered, "but he's very brave, even if he is quite shy, and he's a rider of a nice strong brown. You've seen them, but I don't think you were quite old enough to appreciate the boys." There are two of them, I remember that. There was a bit of a pause, and then Amaranth stammered, "now don't get any ideas about having both of them! I like Haesh, I mean, Osh is a nice guy and all, but ..." she sighed, smiling, "but it's Haesh who's stolen my heart. I like him a lot, Racy. And the Breeders back on Zekira told me we'd make a good couple anyway. I know we would. Hooves and all." And your lovely tail? "... and my lovely tail, too, yes." Amaranth grinned. She wondered if her sort of brother (he wouldn't be born in her time line for a hundred years, it was difficult to think of him as anything but a younger cousin or something) Alchemy was having a time deciding if his big bronze was to fly in a mating flight. They would be making their way back to their own times, Alchemy decided that with a queen coming to the earlier years, he'd be better off with his same-clutch bronze in his own time. Strengthening the descendants, that kind of thing. He is a handsome bronze, and you so love your brothers already... "Half brothers, and not quite like that..." Amaranth blushed, invisibly against her lilac colored skin. Soon, with everything packed and ready to go, Amaranth sought out Tiyanni and thanked her seriously, for having put up with as many strange things as had been happening. Tiyanni seemed able to shrug it all off - creeping ever closer to a nexus that lay smack in the middle of everything would do that to a person. But Amaranth's place was at her desert homestead, with her beautiful dragoness in the warm canyons, where she could fly freely and where perhaps, one of the dashing males there would become her first mate...
