You see a golden furred tiger sunbathing on top of a rather flat, grey rock surrounded by rock rubble. It has rather large cat paws which youd hate to see what must be the enourmous claws of, a white-tipped tail, and....

Wings? Dragon wings and a white mane?

Strange...mabye she's the distant cousin of Amishesta. In a strange way she reminds you of Jerian too. You remeber that drigus are supposed to be part tiger, but that was part tiger, not all tiger. Hmmm.

You come out of your thoughts and look back up at the rock. The tiger, drigus, or whatever she is has left. You trun to leave and go visit other creatures, slightly dissapointed.

WHAM!

Four paws slam into your back. You turn your head to look at your attacker but all you can make out is the tip of a green wing. But the creature walks off you, and taking a deep breath you flip to face your attacker.

The dragon-winged tiger is busy licking her paw, her eyes sparkiling and her mouth twitching as if it's taking every ounce of self control to keep her from laughing. Rather irritated at her yourself, you simply glare.

She finishes her paw bath and looks at you, gets a quizzacal expression on her face, and says, "What?"

"Very funny," you say, now seeing how dirty you've gotten. You brush what dry soil off you can, but some still lingers in the weaving of your clothes.

She decides to ignore you, cleaning her other paw instead. With a sigh, you stand up to leave- only to be pulled down flat on your face again.

"Would you cut it out?" you half-demand. It's going to take more then one wash to get all the dirt out, that's for sure.

"Nope. I caught you and you're staying here. Besides, you haven't even introduced yourself!"

"You haven't either," you say, glaring.

"Haven't I?" she asks, looking at you startled. When you shake your head no, she immediately turns all attention to you, apologetic. "So sorry! I am Ti'ponar. Nice to meet you."

You introduce yourself, still distrubed at the about of dirt ground into your clothing. "This is never going to come out," you mutter.

She glances at you. "Go up to Alsan Weyr and ask them to help you with it; they will."

You nod and make your way off toward the Weyrs back entrances.
