Subject: [DL-N] What a night.
Day 8 about mid day.
[Snip from Chris's post Just helping out]
[Dargis felt the link fade into the background as his dragon D' lion
ended the conversation. Satisfied with how it turned out he continued
his work on arranging the flowers.]
As Woodlenn was getting the meat for his dragon, he ran into Dargis
arranging the tables center pieces. "Wow, what a beautiful flowers."
The young boy mentioned.
Dargis turns around. "Why thank...." Probably a bit amazed that he
could only see clothes talking to him, but Dargis knows this young man
does not like being noticed. "Young man you like flowers, or just great
beauty?" Dargis asks.
"Both." The heap of robes says. "I just hope that you let me see your
personal garden someday if you have one, and I will show you my
beautiful arrow art. I know you work in the gardens from when you where
training us searchers. Well I make flowers out of my arrows sometimes,
and=FDwould much appreciate your opinion."

After Selena got to the jail, James took over for her and threw him in
his cell, right across from Ranker. "Now maybe you'll
behave.....Justin." James scolds as load as he could so hopefully
Ranker could hear him as he locks the cell.
"So, you're the child beater, are you?" Came a voice from across the
hall of the drunken man.
"Yeah, what's it to ya? The child needs to learn her place." He claims
as he goes to the door to see who's talking to him.
"If I where not in this cage I would give what's really coming to you."
The voice tells. Then Justin jumps back as he sees who is talking.
"Murderer! You're that murderer that almost destroyed the orchards." He
stumbles out finally scared of some one.
"That's right and if I get out of here you better hope I don't see you
out there cause you will be next on my list."
[Although he would deserve it I probably won't do anything, hopefully
maybe he will leave the children alone if he thinks that I will kill
him.] Ranker thought to himself.

That night after the trainees moved into their new quarters Woodlenn
decided to go see Semaj.
{Oh there you are you silly blue beauty.}
<Cornard!> the blue dragon runs to his rider knocking him over, and
nuzzling his face.
<<Semaj not too late. You need to rest.>> Malani tell him.
<Ok mama.>=FD
So Woodlenn and Semaj curled up together, to go to sleep as Woodlenn
tells him a story that =FDSemaj relays to the other dragonette's, that
then is relayed to the other trainees.
"Long ago here in Norwall a young boy of about ten, named Cornard
dreamed of being a great entertainer, but his father, a great
fletcher.."
<Like you wood?>
{Yes, like me.} The boy says as the young dragon stretched his neck
around the boy laying on the dragons shoulder, under the boy's arm, and
resting his head on his lap. Then the young beast wrapped his tail
around the boy's shoulder, and snuggled him tightly. So the young man
put one arm around his tail, and petted the beast's head as he is
covered up =FDby his wing.=FD
"Now where was I? Oh yes!"
"Cornard's father wanted Cornard to be a great fetcher like himself,
=FDbut Cornard although a great bow maker wanted to be an entertainer.
One day his father heard a wonderful sound coming from the storage
shed. It sounded like music, =FDbut strange. When he opened the shed he
saw Cornard playing a homemade guitar. He smiled at =FDthe boy, and
said. "So is this what you want to do with your spare time?"
"No Father. This is what I want to do all the time."
Although disappointed his father took him to town, and got him a real
guitar.
Three years pass, and the young man now got real good at playing his
guitar. So when one day he saw a sign in the music shop from a band
looking for a guitar player to join then in Ravendale. The boy, now
thirteen packed his things, kissed his crying mother good bye, and set
off to Ravendale.
"Wait before you leave." His father says. "Take a bow, and some arrows
with you. There are a lot of bad things out there in the world. Also
take this." He gave him a beautiful sword. Thin, sleek, and light
weight.
"I am too old to travel now, so I will not need it no more." He
continued.
"Thank you Father." The boy now a man said as he left home.
<So then what?> The impatient hatchling asked.
{I am getting to it.}
On his way to Ravendale he had to hide from wraiths many times, and
fight off bandits, and thieves.
At Ravendale he met up with the band. Ruffous on percutions, Samsin on
the horn, Josh on flute, Trasamen on fiddle, and the three dancers that
worked up the crowd. Deserae, Tiffenie, and Sandra.
They all hit it off great, for Cornard was real good with his guitar.
Cornard developed an eye for Sandra....
<He grew another eyeball? I didn't know humans could do that.>
{No, not like that. He started to go into heat for her.}
<Oh! So are they going to mate.>
{Just wait and see.}
So, well she was involved with Samsin so Cornard knew he could not mate
her for he did not want to ruin the band.
One day while on tour at Telnor warren, Cornard met a girl from a small
coal mining town just east of there. They fell in love at first sight.
They got married back in her home town.
It was a beautiful wedding, until her ex-boyfriend showed up in a
drunken rage.
He came in right during Cornard's solo of a song that he wrote just for
her. This large, dark man started throwing things around, and braking
stuff
When she started to cry, and plead with the guy, he stopped. As he went
to leave, he turned, and said. "I'm sorry. I hope you, and whom ever
you are marring have a long, and happy life together. Just remember
that I will always love you, and I will always be right here for you."
Till this day Cornard can not remember the guy's name, but his words
will live with him in infamy. For that is how Cornard felt about
Sandra, not for his wife, who he did love very much.
Then during a show back where it all began, Ravensdale. Five years ago
to this day. A terrible tragedy occurred. After the show, someone
attacked one of the dancers. Sandra, and used Cornard's arrow to do it.
When Cornard was accused of killing her, he tried to tell the guard it
was not him, but the guard would not listen, so Cornard ran.
The band broke up that day, and Cornard ran home to his wife a wanted
man, and hurt, but when he got there. He found strange men wondering
around, and the town destroyed.
"No! Not this too. I lost my band, my career, my best's friend, and now
my wife." Cornard cried out in utter sadness.
Not knowing what else to do. He went home Nnrwall were he hoped his
parents would help him. He arrived two years later just to find out
that his parents were dead too, and his home, and shop were for sale.
He had lost everything in such a short time. His friends, his family,
his lovers, his homes, and all means of income.
<Aww! That's so sad.>
Woodlenn could feel the dragon crying, and it made him cry to along
with the others {Do not worry, it gets better.} Woodlenn reassures.
But thanks to the warren lady, Cornard got back his home, and his
father's shop, but as for the rest of his losses. Well!
To honor his father, he kept the shop opened, and became the great
fetch his father always wanted him to be. As for his band, and his best
friend Sandra, he still plays music at events at the warren to keep the
music alive. Just like he promised Sandra just before she died. And
last, but not least. He honors his wife by playing his song for her at
the end of every show.
<Oh, what a nice ending Wood.>
Woodlenn looks over to see Malani looking on intensly.
<Tag anyone that wants to add their feeling to this.>
