** Surely you're kidding, chasing Vilarth?** U'das asked his lifemate,
looking the Blooding Gold.

}: Why not? There's nothing wrong in _me_:{ Zackariath retorted.

It was true, U'das admitted with a sigh. It was his eyes that were
failing, while was fine, well expect that old injury in his wing.

Vilarth hissed and cling possessively to the herdbeast she was taken down.

** Blood only,** Lenala reminded her, in what must have been millionth
time.

There was nothing graceful in a way Vilarth tore the animals throat
out and started slurp the hot blood. Lenala tried not to look
disgusted. **You're an absolute savage.**

Ever optimistic, Aughashyth almost trembled with the need to possess
the glowing gold. Y'gel rushed from his office to join the group of
riders gathering around Lenala. He kept his pessimisim locked firmly
away where Aug wouldn't hear him doubting his ability to catch gold.
His early life scoring had healed poorly making one wing a little
tighter than the other and though Aug was in his prime and an
experienced worthy bronze he'd yet to catch gold.

Savage or not, Erdenth's actions mimicked those of Vilarth as the bronze
took down a herdbeast of his own and tossed it to Vilarth as an offering.

And those actions led his rider to gather amongst the small crowd forming
around the goldrider, K'reyel feeling his mind begin to flood with Erdenth's
thoughts and feelings.

}: I will catch her again,:{ Menanth declared, eyes whirling.

D'ren shared his dragon's desire. The thought of sharing another
Flight with Lenala made his blood heat.

Vilarth finished blooding and looked around her. }: So, you think you can
Catch me? I'm not some easy green. Prove yourself! :{ and with that defiant
taunt, she launched herself to air. Her wings beat up a little dust storm.

}: Don't forget that I know all your tricks, my beauty, :{ Zack replied with
admiring croon and jumped to air after her. The chase was on.

Lenala let out a breath and closed her eyes, surrendering to their Bond,
leting the dragonlust rule. She gave the gathered bronzeriders a sultry
smile.

K'reyel couldn't help but respond with a predatory look of his own, as
Erdenth followed Vilarth into the sky. }:I have tricks of my own, if you'll
let me show you.:{

}:I flew you well and we had many fine hatchlings,:{ Menanth called.
}:I will do so again. Choose me, my golden beauty.:{

Vilarth just laughed and taunted them and led the to the sky. She was going
to fly far and long.

Erdenth was following closely. He was determined to show what he could do,
and with such a fine prize as Vilarth ahead. Oh, he would make it worth her
while to choose him.

Aughashyth could feel a change, something in the flash of light on her
glorious wings and he put everything he had into his mighty sweep of
wings. She was everything he wanted and he told her so fervently.

Menanth had learned not to use all his energy in the beginning and he
kept up with the older bronzes, twisting and turning as he followed
Vilarth. }:I am the best! Choose me!:{

After leading them for a chase for what felt like candlemarks, Vilarth did
choose. She choose experienced bronze who had already proved his ability to
lead the Weyr.

With a triumphant bellow, Erdenth twined his neck with that of Vilarth,
spreading his wings to hold them in the air for what would truly be a
glorious experience.

K'reyel meanwhile was lost to anyone else but Lenala, he held out a hand,
reaching to pull her close and embrace her, his actions mirroring Erdenth's.

Y'gel stepped back from the press around Lenala and turned almost
blindly away while Aughashyth dove into the sea. He pushed away the
hands that reached out to offer him ease and stumbled into the
blinding glare of the sun to find his own weyr and mate.

Menanth bellowed his disappointment as he turned back toward the Weyr.
He'd been so sure! D'ren came back to himself, dragonlust clouding his
mind as he reached out for an eager woman. Wishing she was Lenala.

Lenala happily entered the arms of the winner. Right now, she didn't care
who he was.

U'das actually let out a sigh of relief. Now, he just had to figure out how
to keep Zack out of gold flights.
