Fuujin hid in one of the empty room’s tear streamed down her face. She hated her life lord holder’s daughter or not she was still a freak. Curling up on the cot and did her best to forget the painful words some of the other girls had said to her, while her elder brothers where around they girls didn't dare say anything but while they weren’t around the insulted her mercilessly. She sighed and tried to pull herself together she needed to go tend to the firelizard egg in her own room that was in her room. Getting up she did her best to brush out the wrinkles in her new dress, before she left for her room. Fuujin’s mother would be far from pleased to find she’d ruined her dress already. She slowly pushed the door open and peaked outside making sure the cost was clear, then stepped out and ran down the hall as fast as she could taking the fastest route to her room. She stopped just short of the main hall to catch her breath, knowing she have to pass through it to get to the hall the lead to her quarters.
Then it hit her she needed to pick up some eat from the kitchen, she remembered how Harynun had accidentally impressed the firelizard intended for their father when he'd came rushing in with the bowl of meat and how Sei had bonded to him. She knew the egg was due to hatch any day now. Sticking her head out she looked around and made sure their weren’t many people about, then she made a mad dash for the kitchens.
As she turned the coroner the lead into the kitchen she slammed right into someone, hard enough she sent both crashing to hall floor. Leaning back on her hands Fuujin realized she's practically run over a woman about 4 turns her senior.
Fuujin babbled getting up and helping the woman up. It was then that she realized the woman was dressed in ridding gear, this woman was a dragon rider. Fuujin was absolutely horrified with herself; she babbled apologies to the rider as she offered to help her up.
"It's okay dear, obviously you’re in a hurry, go on a finish what you need to do. I'll be here awhile long I'm on search, if you feel you need to apologies more" The rider said in an almost teasing manner, Analyssa smiled at the girl. "I'm sure Solath would like to meet you."
“Solath?” Fuujin repeated the dragons named lost in thought, why’d a dragon want to meet her.
“Yes Solath my big blue. Now you better go hurry and finish what you needed to do.” Analyssa reminded the girl, she watch the girl’s eyes widen before she babble her thanks for the reminder and took off towards the hold kitchen.
Fuujin was relived when she reached her room she prayed that the egg had yet to hatch. Opening the door she reached to uncover the glow basket, when she did the sight before her caused her to gasp. Her room was torn apart looking like someone had ransacked it and in the middle of room was a screeching firelizard hatchling.
Carefully picking her way trough the mess with the bowl of meat, Fuujin then knelt down scooping up the little blue hatchling cradling in one arm. Setting the bowl down she chose a small chunk of meat and then offered it to the hatchling. The hatchling snatched the meat chunk form her hand a gobbled it down greedily, they repeated this until the little blue was quite full and snoozing in her arms.
“You stay there.” Fuujin said to the sleeping hatchling as she sat him down on her bed that which has some how escaped from being turned upside down by the hungry hatchling. Once she was sure he wasn’t going to wake she set herself the task of straightening her room.
Opening the shutters of her room Fuujin looked out at the large courtyard below she saw a large blue below curled up in the sun. Looking up into the sky she realized it was almost midday it’d taken quite awhile to right her room. Halfway trough the process of cleaning is Iri as that little blue hatchling had been dubbed. Due to that fact he could be quite irritating when he wished had deiced to attempt her help her with cleaning the room.
Instead he’d made more messes for her to right whenever he attempted to help her; it had been amusing to see this hatchling hardly a hand span in length try to help her but frustrating at the same time. Iri hopped on to the windowsill looking down at his large cousin the dragon before slithering up one of her arms to hide in her long silvery hair.
“Well Iri how about we go down and get a better look at that dragon?” Iri wound his little tail around her neck entwining himself in her hair more shaking. Fuujin laughed at the little blue pulling her hair carefully from his tiny body. “Oh Iri he isn’t going to hurt you. How about we go find his rider and she can tell you herself.”
Analyssa sighed the few that had showed potential he been denied from even being looked at by Solath, this was frustrating. Most of the time the lord holder allowed all that showed potential to be looked at, but due to the fact that he wasn’t here. The parents weren’t quite as accommodating as they would have been if Lord Holder Iren had been present. Just having Solath to be permitted to be look at one she thought might cut it for Senior Queen Alanath’s clutch would be nice.
In the back of her mind she wished she knew who the girl with silver hair had had been though her coloring was odd it was obvious she had a good heart, not like many of the other hold girls. Most she’d seen today had been stuck up and conceited about their looks or rank and those that hadn’t been where married or to be soon. Walking toward the dinning hall she hoped she’d see the silver haired girl at the midday meal, she was grateful that Lady Urana was as accommodating as her husband was. Now if only she’d find at least one candidate to return to aneris with…
As Fuujin headed toward the dinning hall her elder sister Moraya had rushed past stopping only long enough to inform her that their mother had insisted that they all be present at the midday meal. Due to the fact there was a search on and the searchrider hadn’t had overly good luck today. It seemed their mother wasn’t going to object about any of her children being searched this day.
