Vrashth sat on the Weyrheights, her red hide starting to glow more and more. She had taken to spending more time away from youngsters and watching the males, looking for any that she might give the honor of her consideration for a mate. However, today, she was watching over her Weyr from the best vantage point she had at her disposal. It was a great day. Celebration for the sole purpose of lifting the spirits of the people.
However, with the possibility of Thread falling.... it was important that they were careful. Very careful. Iirla was nervous about having a Gather and games right now... but with Threadfall not currently due, it seemed one of the only times to do it at this point.
Iirla brushed her hair back from her face then crossed her arms, surveying those around her. She was dressed in a red dress which sat off her shoulders, the long bell like sleeves were tight around her upper arms and loose from there down. The trim was a gold color.
The Weyrbowl was full of people and booths. Misarian colors graced every inch of the place. It was beautiful and had taken a lot of direction from the Headwoman.
The booth nearest her was for signing up for the games. She herself was overseeing this for the moment before she would be called away to something else.
Vrashth lifted her head up and looked down towards the Weyrlake. There were dragons bathing there. Some of the younger ones at that. Hmph. She looked towards where her Rider was standing and gave a croon.
Iirla looked up, smiling. There she was, that red dragoness of hers. She was beautiful. And she was glowing, a little more with every passing day. She was coming closer adn closer to rising. And Iirla was hoping for a good Flight.
But, for this moment, it was the gather and the events surrounding it that truly mattered, and so far, they had gone off without a hitch.
((The Events:
1) Races - There are two kinds of races, one based on endurance and one on speed. All dragons are allowed to enter both of the races, however, certain colors and types of dragons may have an advantage over others in particular races. Races will be posted in separate Threads and places will be decided by myself based on several factors, including how impressive your writing was.
2) Time Trials - Time trials are a race against the clock. Each dragon who enters competes for the shortest time around a set track. Winners are decided much the same way. This will take place in a separate Thread.
3) Acrobatics - This is a test of acrobatic feats. All dragons may participate. In this competition, dragons must fly a set course of obstacles and perform set tricks along a course, which will be posted in the Thread for participating in this event. Places will be chosen by myself.
To enter, please post your character entering at some point in this Thread. I will make an announcement when the games Threads go up.))
