The Gold's clutch lay on the sands, shells slowly hardening as the dragonets grew.
Nimae had been napping in the sun, but she stirred. She screamed at the bright sun - screamed at the sky!
She screeched her challange to all near and in mind and ear range.
Come and catch me! Nimae- Green princess of Pern! May my chased be swift and strong and worthy!
The green flit sent visions of the open sky, of her flying high and in the sun's light to all creatures with minds.
Hissing with irritated she killed a gull and blooded it. She did not try to eat the meat. It would slow her. It would ruin her flight!
And now she bugled her challange again, singing for her suitors to come and find her!
Her green body shot through the air.
Come one and all!

Blue Ferrth was asleep in his weyr, but to either side of him were two flits curled up, napping lightly--a brown and a green. The sudden shrill scream of a fire lizard in flight woke them up, and the brown's eyes whirled excitedly at the thought of a mating flight. Barus stole a quick glance over at the green warily, who growled low in her throat.
Banshee recognized the other green--that was the female who had attacked her at the gather. She hissed at the memory of it, but soon lost interest in the other female, and intended to go back to her nap. Her brown companion was not so easily swayed, though. Barus carefully climbed to his feet and spread his wings, having every intention of flying after Nimae, but a hiss from Banshee made him cringe.
What was he doing? Surely he wasn't planning to chase the annoying little nuisance? She was so...flighty and arrogant! She glared angrily at the brown, daring Barus to move. Barus, for his part, was torn between two females, unsure whether to stay with his companion or chase after the flying green. Another bugle from Nimae made up his mind though; Barus could not resist flying after her. He fled quickly from Banshee's presence by leaping into the air, but after a final aggravated hiss, she gave it up as a lost cause and went back to her nap.
Having gotten away from Banshee unscathed, Barus was happy to join Nimae's flight. Though, granted, he wouldn't enjoy the reunion with Banshee later. But still, there was a female to chase! He flapped his wings long and hard to make up for lost time, and he crooned flirtatiously at the green. He may have been a little late to arrive, but he was here now!

Nimae glanced behind to see who had joined her, and squeaked in delight and surprise.
Oh!
It was Barus!
She remembered him from the Gather, when herself and other flits had gotten together and played.
He was her only chaser at this time, and the more wild part of her was angry.
She screamed, then acted as if she had decided. She slowed down, and spiraled around Barus, chirping and crooning praise and encouragement to him.
Oh yes, he was a fine brown. Strong and well-worthy. But Nimae was not one to pick her winner so quickly. Like a cat does with a mouse, she would play with her males to see who was truely to be her Prince!
Their wingtips brushed ever so lightly, and her tail traced the brown's side. Her eyes whirled green and violet, and then quick as a bullet, she dove away from Barus, as if begging him to chase her still. No, not begging. Commanding!
A princess does not beg.

The Greens call did not go unheard, in fact four other males did hear it and itched to join in. It took a few moments of convincing Linda, and she went to go hide herself just in case... but finally they took off each now ready to go against the other to get themselves some tail.
~~~~~~~~~~
Rorce, the garnet of the group and thus the largest and vicious of the males. He had been stopped time after time by Linda to attack someone who had dared to insult him and her. But no, now he got to do something he wanted. It was going to be his day and he will win, a hiss emanated from him as he swiped his claws towards the two browns and two blues. He wasn't close enough to hit but he was warning them to back off.
Quickly he turned his attention to the green, who pretty much already shot off and crooned towards her with a slight growl. This was what he was missing, the thrill of the chase... and the ending in fight or otherwise was rather insignificant... But he actually was hoping for a fight with one of the others.
~~~~~~~~~~
Cad pretty much ignored Rorce, he was only really joining in because it beat what Linda had them doing. A soft warble escaped from him as his wings kept him on a pretty straight path. He wasn't the fasted nor the most agile. But really he didn't feel like wasting so much energy just to show off. Even if he didn't win he wanted enough energy to try to go find a spot to sleep. Maybe he would choose his spot on that one rock in the sun...
~~~~~~~~~~
Jo on the other hand hissed right back at Rorce, this green was going to be HIS!!! Rorce, Cad, and Joe was not going to stop him... yes especially Rorce.. He was the better male, he was better then any Garnet. Look at his hide, it was such a beautiful shade of blue of course the green would choose him over any of the uglier ones here. Jo called out loudly towards the green, he was so certain he would catch her that he was already calling her his as he gave chase. A weave here, a dodge there, he taunted the other males who weren't as great as him as if thinking the green would love to see how superior he was.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jak though, instead of being lazy or prideful... or even violent like his three companions. Merely crooned softly and sweetly to the green, praising her as he gave chase. Saying how much more beautiful she was even then the golds themselves. He tried his best to dodge and weave in amongst the males now... Hoping to keep a good enough distance from Rorce and as close as possible distance he could to the green.

Oh!
Nimae focused her lustful violet eyes upon the gang of newcomers. Yes! They should be praising her!
She eyed Jo almost respectfully until she caught sight of the garnet. A true prince for a princess!
With a swift swoop she dove close to Rorce, purring and chirping at him. But no, not yet. No one could have this princess yet. The BloodKing had to prove himself. Surely he'd have no trouble at all.
She nipped Rorce's foreleg hardly scratching his red hide and flicked his cheek with her tail. Fly well, daring DeathKing! Fly well!
Then Nimae wheeled out of the garnet's reach and screamed again. All of these males were here for her' Almighty princess Green!
She dove down quickly corkscrewing gracefully.
Her winner would have to match her grace.

Things were going so well, at first. Nimae obviously recognized him, and certainly seemed to approve of him chasing her. For a moment, Barus even thought she had decided to end the flight, with only the one male chasing, but no sooner had their wingtips touched than she was off again, and the brown crooned in disappointment.
It quickly turned into a growl of anger, though, as four other fire lizards joined in the flight all at once. Barus ignored the other brown; he didn't seem quite as into the chase as the others, so he wasn't much of a threat, and he was plenty larger and stronger than the blues.
It was the garnet who was the real threat. He easily dodged the swipe of claws and gave the other flit a warning hiss. Did that garnet flit think he could steal Nimae's attention? Barus was there first; it seemed natural to him who the green should choose. He growled jealously at Nimae flirted with Rorce and lunged forward with a cry.

Cad merely watched what unfolded in front of him. He pretty much was bringing up the rear behind even his fellow blues. With a yawn though he just shrugged and started to float away, he didn't want to give chase anymore it was too much of a hassle. So he lazily floated away towards the nearest body of water to land on a rock to sun. He would pretty much prefer to watch from below anyways instead of near Rorce and his claws.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jo twisted and turned, away from the other brown and garnet now. His hide was perfect, he was not about to let THEM touch his hide and harm it in any way shape or form. Oh no what scars he did have he got them from helping his with those fightings... These were good ones for a reason... but no he wasn't going to join in the fight because the green deserved someone who could treasure her. Yes!! indeed treasure her, a worthy prize for one such as him after all.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jak however ignored the others as he kept crooning out his compliments towards the green. He would win her over with having her know he noticed her so much. The way she flies so gracefully, the way the sun glints off her pretty hide. Her tail was so thin and dainty just like a princess. Maybe he would be picked because he was paying more attention to her and how she looked then the ones who fight or just try to catch her fast.
~~~~~~~~~~
Rorce on the other hand, his ego pumped up by the green, Cried out loudly as a challenge to the other males. This was HIS Green now, he wasn't about to let any of them even try to get closer to her. That other brown he didn't know even lunged forward so Rorce spread out his wings and claws with a screech. The Brown wasn't going to stop him and his Green, even as he lashed out with his tail... But no he couldn't stay trying to get in a fight with the brown as he verred off towards the Green.
Maybe he had scared him off well enough, who knew as he crooned towards the Green.. He didn't follow her exactly and just tried to choose the shortest route. He wasn't about to try any frilly girly unnecessary movements. All those Twists and turns just made him get closer after all if he didn't do it as well.

Nimae hissed then sighed.
How dare they fight! Chase her! Dance!
The words Jak sang pleased the green, but she couldn't ignore the garnet.
As Rorce came after her she slipped just out if her reach and nipped his wingtip. She flew under his belly so her wings touched him and clipped his chin with her tail.
It was a teasing game.
Her dance became a tad frantic as the end was drawing near. She'd choose or had she chosen?
Would she let the BloodKing catch her?
She was in his grasp, simplely a breath away. He could drop upon if he chose...
Her other chasers had flown well. If it ended now, they should be proud! Good luck!

If a Fire Lizard could grin, Rorce's face would hold a very smug one himself. He was the one getting the most attention from the green after all, not those pathetic browns or pathetic blues. Now if a Bronze had shown up, he probably would have just went to kill it before he could go after the green.
Rorce Crooned loudly as he grinned, he liked them fiesty with all the tail slaps... It was just urging him on and he wasn't about to try to let her go. Instantly he dropped as he reached out with every limb to try to wrap them around her hoping to catch her. Each leg, wing, and his tail were going to try to capture HIS prize. He already believed himself to have won so he was already roaring out his victory.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jo hissed however, the green what a stupid one!! she went for the Garnet and not him? They could have pretty and smart babies together... He was rather outraged at the fact that Rorce was going to get the green so he raced forward in hopes of cutting in. He may or may not get there in time or able to do so but he wasn't going to go down without trying.
Jak on the other hand just slumped a bit, she didn't once return any words to him... Also the flight had gone on long enough and he didnt really want to put in anymore energy. Another blue was already down for the count as he went to fly down and join Cad to watch.

Barus was riled up now--bloody garnets thinking they owned everything, including females!--but since Nimae objected to their spat, he took to keeping a healthy distance between himself and the garnet. That was a bit hard to do, though, considering the way Rorce was hanging around the green that was the source of their fight.
It wasn't that much of a surprise that the brown flit began to fall behind. He hissed at the garnet half-heartedly, but it was seeming less and less likely that he would end up the winner of this flight. Even so, he made one last token lunge toward the green, in hopes that she'd choose him rather than the garnet. If it didn't work, though, Barus would just go back to his's weyr and have a rough and tumble battle with Banshee to take his mind off things.

The decision was now.
Nimae turned and surveyed the males who had followed her so long. It was a pleasing turnout, several blues, a brown and a Garnet.
Her Garnet.
She hissed possesively, eyes whirling a lustful violent purple as she wrapped herself around Rorce. Yes, HERS!
He was all hers! Her bloody, deadly King!
The other males had flown hard, she would give them that. But her mind was made up. Rorce was the winner, her hero. Her prince!
She glanced at the two males who dove at her, hissing in an annoyed sort of way. She seemed to say - You tried your best, but I had other plans.
The green wound her tail tightly around Rorce's hind leg, as if she thought he'd leave. No. She would not let her Prince go.

He did win, well of course he was the ultimate, he was a Garnet!!! As loud as a little fire lizard could "roar" Rorce did... as his name sake partially was. Even though she was a green, he had now one female he won against. The stress from not being able to fight or do anything with his energy much lately was now gone and he was reveling in the adrenaline. After he caught her though and before they hit the ground at all he opened up his wings.
That was a fun little skirmish, yes in his mind a chase was a skirmish not a real battle but still somewhat. With that He continued to roar and preen himself, He was the king now after all he didn't care if a bronze tried to take the title now or a brown. It was his and he wouldn't let anything else get in his way!!.
