Adegometh was growing like a weed. Every time Brylina turned around, the green began peeling again. And she was always hungry.
I’m so busy I don’t even have time to think of Delrion.... Brylina thought.
Ha! Adegometh said, And his name is De’on. That old bluerider said so.
Brylina smiled. J’lenn from Ryslen had attended the hatching. He seemed pleased that she’d impressed a green, and upset that blues had chosen so many girls. He also told her that De’on had Impressed a brown, and promised to send word of her Impression to him. Brylina hoped J’lenn didn’t conveniently “forget” his promise to her because she was female.
If he does, I shall bite him. Adegometh said, bearing her tiny yet incredibly sharp teeth.
Brylina grinned.
The green flared her wings. Brylina! she called. Fly with me!
Brylina scooped up her jacket and ran for the ledge. “Where are we going?”
Just flying. We can go somewhere later. Adegometh said as her lifemate mounted.
Brylina smiled. “Addie... I still miss De’on.” Brylina said as they soared.
It is good to be understood, Bry. You love him nearly as you love me. Adegometh said, then grew quiet. After a period of silence she again spoke to her rider. Haralth is strong. De’on is well. Haralth says he misses you so. De’on sleeps now, or he would send a message. the green said, proud of her achievement.
“Thank you Addie.” Brylina whispered.
You are welcome, Bry. the green replied with a loving tone. Upon their arrival back at their snug warm den, Brylina found they had a visitor. Ke’l had stopped to see them with a proposal.
“It had better not be marriage.” Brylina said. “I’ll have none but De’on.”
“De’on would be wise to marry you.” Ke’l said from the doorway. “In fact, I’ll extend the invitation to him as well. Brylina, will you Ride with me, as a member of the Tri Star Fleet?”
Brylina’s eyes went wide. “you’re recruiting for a fleet this far before graduation?”
Ke’l nodded. “I’ve been offered the lead if I go to Ryslen, with my choice of Riders. I’d be honored if you’d be one of mine.”
Brylina smiled. “I’m honored, Ke’l. Adegometh and I accept.” Ke’l presented her with the star studded patrch.
“I won’t forget about De’on. This I promise you.” He said.
“Thank you.”
