Az'Ye^'s Weyr
You enter one of the candidate's rooms and glare in irritation. Whoever owns this room must be crazy- it's full of plants! Vine creep over the walls, and the ground is a thick layer of soil with a tiny stone path. Large leaves partially block your view of what's ahead. As if that wasn't enough, you can hear the shrieks and songs of birds within the room. The two dragon-doors are wide open, but little light makes it through the thick forest you see beyond the high balcony. Above, a skylight allows even more light in. Where the skylight's gaze hits is a large pile of tropical leaves. There is nothing on them, although by he way they have been compressed down, you guess that something large lives in here. A dragon?
But as soon as you think that, a large yellow creature walks into the small clearing. Her long red hair is tied into silky locks by a set of small turquoise rings. She has peacock wings, and a peacock beak too, although she is definitely not just a peacock. Four large golden paws seem to barely touch the ground. On her front left ankle is a bracelet made of the same turquoise as the rings in her hair. By the haughty way she walks, you know that she sees you but chooses to ignore you for now. And as she steps further into view, you see that she has a luxurious peacock tail of red and teal, with eyes of gold.
"Greetings," she says, her voice silky yet commanding at the same time. Her eyes gaze right at yours, and there is something dangerous about them. "I am Az'Ye^, Many Colors. Welcome to my weyr."
The last is said almost forcibly, as if she's not yet sure if you're welcome or not. But he nods to you, and you politely introduce yourself. As you are finishing, a young woman walks up to Az'Ye^ and begins talking to her too softly for you to hear, although the many clicks and whistles tell you it's not the usual one spoken in the Weyr. Az'ye^ answers back, and the woman turns to you.
Her hair is frizzy and brown, and she's short- perhaps about 5'1" tall. Her eyes are a very light brown, and her skin is light bronze. She's wearing some very odd robes- they are mostly blue, with some green thrown in. There are bronze bells hanging from short strings sown to the cuffs, although oddly enough they don't ring.
"Hello," she says, eyeing you over. "I am Darintha, but you can call me Darin like everyone else does. I am companion to Az'Ye^, and apprentice mage, under the guidance of Vera. I don't suppose you've met her yet?"
She sees your questioning glance towards Az'ye^, and smiles slightly.
"Az'Ye^, is a Lidraock from the Lidraock Rainforest. Before she hatched, I was asked to be her companion until she can take care of herself. Now that she's an adult, I'm just her friend. Lidraocks, by the way, aren't just dragons, and that's why this weyr is so..ah..modified. They look like a cross between a dragon, a peacock, and a lion. Az'Ye^ is Keeshat for 'Many Colors', and Keeshat is the language of her homeworld. Since we knew a Lidraock would be living here, we also spelled a portal to the Tsubu Rainforest out the dragon doors. It's odd- Vera said it sued to be so hard to do any sort of Magic on Savine, and now it's so easy. There must be something afoot here."
"Now, my journal is over there if you wanted to see it- You'll have to go through that door into that room, since my room is separate from Az'Ye^'s. Is there anything else you wanted to know?"
