Raven

Raven wasn't sure what to think. She'd only ever been a techie in the Department and to think she was good enough for anything more seemed unusaul.
Meteor laughed as she flopped back on the beds they had been provided, "Well, Rav, what do you think about all this? Seems too good to be true."
Raven nodded slightly as she looked about her, "It certainly does, Meteor. It certainly does."
"You all right? You sound like you're under some sort of trance," Meteor said. "Rav? You all right?"
"Huh?" Raven sighed, starring blankly at Meteor. "Yeah, I'm all right."
Meteor laughed as she thumped Raven on the back, "Perk up, dear. My guess is that it hasn't sunken in yet."

Raven nodded as she sunk down onto her bed, "Meteor, what do you think about all this?"
"I think it's great. I finally get to get out of that funky theatre!" Meteor exclaimed happily. "I've always been the sharding stage manager, and I was sick of it."
"Well, this was my first time as something other than lights," Raven sighed.
"So, you got to do sets. That's not a big step up," Meteor sighed. "THIS is a big step up!"
"Yeah," Raven sighed. "I'll miss..."
"Don't even say it. Don't even say it. You're going to miss that dragonspit stage. You're going to miss Telven yelling at the 'lowly' tech crew. You're going to miss..."
"ALL RIGHT! All right, Meteor, I get the point," Raven shouted, jumping up from the bed. "I'm going for a walk."
"What I say?" Meteor sighed as she watched Raven storm out of the room.

Raven sighed as she dove into the lake. Meteor just didn't understand what was bothering her. She didn't even understand what was bothering her. She had wanted so much to impress Telven with her sets, but she hadn't even got the chance to set them up. Now she was here, and she'd never get the chance. She'd be sent straight to Wild River, and... She sighed and shook her head as she climbed out of the lake.

There was no point to thinking like this. She'd have a bond soon, and then everything would make sense...at least, she hoped it would.

"Meteor, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." Raven started, but stopped when she realized that Meteor wasn't in their room.
There were too many places for her to be, and Raven didn't feel like looking for her. She sighed as she laid back on her bed. She'd show up eventually.

The soft whispery clouds of the dream world swirled in Raven's head. She could hear the soft crooning of new hatched dragons as she tossed and turned, trying to figure out where she could be. The sands around her were littered with shells, and there she stood, alone. She could feel the disappointment filling her heart as she knelt on the sands. Tears filled her eyes as she lined forward and collasped in defeat.
Suddenly, a draconic cry of mourning filled her ears. She gasped as she shot up in her bed. She heart was pounding. She looked to her right, and Meteor laid in her bed, sound asleep. She looked to her left, and Nell was there, but her sleep was not quite as sound. Raven turned to Nell and shook her.
"Nell, Nell, wake up," Raven whispered.
Nell shot up similar to what Raven did. She turned her blank eyes to Raven, "Hatching sands?"
"Hatching sands," Raven sighed, nodding. "It's just a dream. Don't worry about it."
Nell smiled as she laid back down. Raven sighed.
"It's just a dream. Don't worry about it," She sighed as she laid back down to sleep.

Raven smiled at Nell as she bonded. Her dragon was strong. It was just the thing for someone like Nell. Her bond would brake her out of her shell. Just then a brown-red dragon hatched. The had a spectacular speckling of white dots along his whole body, with tiny ones on his limbs. White candy-striped wingsails completed the image, and the slender-legged long-tailed dragon went directly to the theater group. Raven stood with her hand in front of her mouth, gasping.
A deep male voice entered her head, Raven, am I all right? I know I'm probably not as beautiful as your set, but you do want to come with me, don't you?
“Of course I want to come with you, Xaarth, why would you think I didn’t want to?” She said, curiously.
Because you wanted so much to be successful in your group. Do you think they will like having me with them?
“They’re going to have their own dragons... You just watch what we’ll do next!”
Nell smiles at Raven as her green glares at the male, A female with a male dragon? That's almost as bad as a male with a female dragon.
Nell looks down at her green, "Hush. I'm going to have to teach her a thing or two."
Raven smiled as Xaarth curled up at her feet, "Xaarth, do you want something to eat?"
