[Day 30]
[Warren Lady Office]
Thea sat quietly in her office finishing the last of her paperwork as
she
reflected back over the past few weeks. A lot had changed and yet a lot
was
still the same. With Triylar falling and the people scattering, several
coming to the warren seeking protection from Wyvern and Wraith alike,
supplies at the warren were becoming dangerously low and yet no word
yet
from the king and the aid he promised.
Most warren ladies would have a junior queen rider capable of off
loading
some of the task for such a large ordeal. But alas Pandora was needed
to
help Weya, a daunting task to say the least. Why couldn't the young
huntress
have a more warrior type of dragon instead of queen? She didn't envy
the
task Pandora had in teaching Weya what was expected of her already a
few
encounters with the young lady and those of state had caused some
trouble.
Thea couldn't help but smile and laugh slightly at some of the habits
that
caused such a fuss.
(Tag Carys and Tree, how are you two going to work this out?)
The training of the new dragon riders was going well it seemed. Sharees
had
been enlisted to do the job for T'rell who was already taxed. Today
however
was going to be the first flying day, and not long from now each will
need
to be assigned to a wing. Already people were gathering at the green to
watch. At least the dragons had grown too big now to crowd the halls.
Even
now she could remember the cook screaming about the trainees and their
dragonets taking over the kitchen and the eating up the evening dinner.
It
wouldn't be so bad except one of the twins dragons found the barrel of
mead.
(Tag Arlene, Katie, Rae, Roy, Carys and Tree)
She couldn't help but think of her own Galendriel and blush slightly as
lately the queen had been spending so much time with Samson as the two
seemed to be so proud of their young. Thea and Gal would share secret
laughter as Samson seemed to strut around proudly of being the father
of
such a large clutch and a queen to boot. Her mind couldn't help but
follow
the train of thought to Lexi. A wonderful piece of a man, though his
heart
belong to the wing second Sharees. She felt a pain of loneliness creped
in
on her feelings she quickly forced it down and away. She was the
Duchess and
warrenlady of Daere she didn't have time for romances.
(Tag Tree and Arlene how are Sharees and Lexi getting on now)
The thoughts of duty brought her around to other things, S'than and
Evadne
had brought fire canons to the warren and the smiths were able to
reproduce
them with the aid of S'than's brother Liaghon. She didn't trust the
brother
nor his body guard Jade but for now they had been a great help. She
wasn't
sure yet how they were going to use these to their advantage but for
now she
was leaving them to the young dragon rider to figure it out.
(Tag Eddie what are you going to do with those fire canons)
Then of course there were her three wing leaders, T'rell, Jason and
Sybil
each had a strong personality and all of them did well in keeping the
wings
ready. Yet, none of them seem to get along well and were always trying
to
out due the other.
(Tag John, Michael and Eddie what's going on with the wings?)
She had been looking out the window watching people gather for the
first
flying experience of the new dragon riders who have been getting ready
all
week to mount their dragons. So far the young dragons had practiced
flying
with saddles and some weight but now they would be caring their dragon
riders. There was a lot of excitement over this with thirty some young
dragons and riders. But it was something else that caught her eye for
now.
Four riders on horse back were making there way to her office stopped
only
briefly by a couple older dragon riders. She sighed inwardly she had
always
meant to set up some guards but she hadn't yet figured who would suit
for a
security detail. She recognized the small banner that came along with
them
however it was a royal courier.
Her heart lifted at the sight of it, at last some word from the king,
hopefully it would be enough. They were not going to be able to
support all
these refugees for much longer. She turned to prepare her office for
their
arrival. She was trained to be a duchess and that meant setting your
office
to give her the advantage, though sadly it didn't seem to work as well
on
dragon riders.
