//Sunrise\\ - Mirrath's Rise

[Flame]

Lilly was asleep, her arms around her baby boy, who was just over three years old. Ion was actually awake, watching his mom and petting his flit. Then something caught his eye. Mommy's green dragon! He smiled at her as she moved again. She'd been glowing more and more over the last week. She was like a beautiful jade dragon. Lilion was mesmarized by the beautiful green dragon. It was before sunrise.

Suddenly Lilly jolted awake. She looked at her son next to her and then at her dragon. Get him to Lokin or Remi. Now. I will rsie. Lilion looked at his mother as she got that blank look that said she was thinking. "Momma? I want to go play with the others. I go play now. Roland's momma said she play when Mir glowy." came the little boys' voice. She looked at him. He was growing up to fast. "Come on friend. We have things to do." the boy said softly, as he walked out. She stared at him. He's growing up. Now. Wait here. The suitors will come. And if they don't... well we can deal. You need to relax. So do I. with that the green launched herself out into the pens, her wings catching the dark wind, and landing on two bulls. Blooding them both, but only bairly. It took a lot from Lilly to stop her from eating them, for she was already letting her lust get a hold of her.

Mirrath knew she was not anything like a queen, but even the great Athenath bowed to her at her hatching, and even now the green could speak with the gold with no retrobution. One of the few who could and did tell her no. Now it was her time to shine. She suddenly bugled, her voice carrying in the early morning darkness, reverberaiting off the walls. She rose quickly, wings beating easily as she rose. She met the rising sun with a roar, as it came over the horizon just as she came over the lip of the mountain. COME! Fly! this was Mirrath's first time in three years. She was going to have FUN!

As the green rose, a beautiful brown and black dragon popped from between. So did a dark blue green, and a brown red. Their rider's were dropped off, not in the bowl, but the edge of the rising green's weyr'. One woman, two men. THey headed inside. Those three dragons took off after the green, speed on their side. She was waiting. The dragons were the only three to rise after the green. The brown black dragon caught her quickly, wooing her easily.

Then with a quickness that belied their hurry, the two other dragons, pulled off fromt he flight, just before the brown black caught her green, and headed back to that weyr. From there they grabbed their riders. The man and the woman. From there they swung out of the weyr.

This was all to quick for anyone in the weyr to react. And as soon as the brown black and the green returned, people started to talk. Messages were sent. No one knew where these 'Shadowriders' had come from, but everyone knew that Lilli didn't like being bothered by anyone after a rise. After all she'd been there eight years. ONly six of them did MIrrath rise every three months. So they left her alone. When she woke the next morning though... the black brown rider, and his dragon was gone. She would remember him though. Well. But the other's... Who were they? What were they?
