Andarna Finds a Mate

I was busy so this is just a short lil' AU! We need more info on Aotrom I swear lol.

-----------------------------------------

The spring air was filled with dragons from all the different hatching grounds. Sgaeyl and Tairn sat on the ground, intertwining their tails and snorting warm chuffs of air. She was the only purple dragon there, one of the rarest lineages to ever exist in the Vale.

Naturally, there were a certain number of dragons taking an interest in her. Andarna was large, perhaps a little over three fourths the size of Tairn now that she was fully grown. The afternoon sun was warm, and she stretched atop the sunningrocks by her caves mouth.

"You're not going to join the others?" Sgaeyl questioned, "You don't wish to mate? You seemed so excited the other day."

Andarna turned her head to the blue dragon and replied, "I will wait for them to come to me. Just as you did." Sgaeyl's throat rumbled with proud affection.

"I taught you well." She turned and resumed her conversation with Tairn inside the granite cave.

Andarna peered into the sky, watching the swirl of dragons. Some paired-off and began to glide towards the ground, while others seemed unsure and remained at the top of the dragon tornado. She was beginning to lose hope, and was beginning to wish to join them, when, suddenly, two dragons began to circle her spot.

She squinted and could make out the two dragons. One was a red swordtail from a faraway nest, and another was a dragon she was familiar with; Aotrom. Ridoc was his rider. Andarna watched in fascination as he chased away the other, and then made a perfect landing beside her.

"Well hello to you too," Andarna smiled.
