Poised ruler that she must be for the clan, she's nervous out of her mind. She had a chance to visit Leiora and her son-in-law Victor, but she needs a break; even if she is in charge, she feels like she's too young to go by "Queen Mother." So tonight, she'll treat herself. She has to take in the sight of Cloudsong; experience it firsthand. This might be her home someday. The gently floating lanterns that light up the evening sky, the gentle sound of bamboo paddles holding balloons afloat, the rythmic sound of dancers in the distance...it brings a sense of peace to the anxious fae. The Windsinger is a benevolent provider. Even when she's been scared. She looks up to the sky, wondering if her children who have left to serve the Windsinger are fairing well.

So far, she had seen a Wildclaw dance before a large crowd and a rather memorizing performance of wind chimes, done by a graceful Skydancer. The Spiral took a short break, watching the kites being flown by both young and old dragons. Some were making patterns in the sky, while the little ones were excited just to have theirs up in the air. She wasn't sure what direction to head next - back to the main stage? Or seek out smaller performances on the street? The entertainer still hoped to catch a play - or even a storyteller. Although the festival was drawing to a close soon, she still had time for a few more shows.

After talking to Einws, they agree that’s he should spend some time calming down instead of going back. So while Einws heads off to cook, Cumulus flies around, trying to enjoy the festivities. He eats more food, watches more shows and flies around. Even though he’s still a bit stressed out, he at least feels a bit better by the time Einws finds him to head back to the empty Clan platforms for the night.

However, he quickly forgets about it as he takes in all that there is to see...and the food. He gushed over all the unique and exotic recipes, asking about where the ingredients were found.

The calming music was a nice change of pace from the fast-paced atmosphere of the rest of the festival. As she relaxed to the gentle sounds of the song, Peony wondered what the last couple of days would have in store. Based on the numerous spectacular performances she had already witnessed, Peony knew that there would certainly be something to look forward to. With this in mind, she called a brief thanks to the Skydancer and returned to the main festivities, bursting with excitement and energy once more.

Behind her, the incense burner sent out sweet-smelling smoke through the air, adding even more to the peaceful mood. Born in a Wind clan, she always made sure to come to the Mistral Jamboree gatherings even if Ammutseba felt no particular connection to her Flight. It was just nice to be part of something for a little while, you know? As the music ended, she stood back up. By then, the incense had stopped burning and she returned to the high-energy festival to seek out interesting trinkets to take home.

Tell the Tale!" Such a crowd gathered to listen!.. Scorpius landed on the very edge of the amphitheater. Below, on the stage, the audience was watched by a smiling snapper, and under her gaze the crowd instantly fell silent. Someone, it seems, even threw a canopy of silence, muffling the sounds of the festival, so that nothing would interfere with listening to the story. Perhaps he would linger for a quarter of an hour, Scorpius decided. More unlikely to succeed, he knows himself, too restless. But the end of the story can always be asked from one of the more patient listeners... Four hours later, Scorpius finally moved. His whole body seemed to grow dim from the stone immobility in which he spent this time, wholly turning to the ear. The story was fabulous! Such a simple, but exciting, and each time it was worth only to think that you can distract, how the plot changed in the most unpredictable way, and it was absolutely impossible to move from the spot! How, if he ventured to miss the grandest outcome! Now, finally finding out what happened to the hero at the end of his path, Scorpius felt incredible satisfaction. "And at each of the following festivals, she will be telling again," said a nearby spiral with Scorpius, - "Something completely new, but absolutely insanely interesting." Oh, it seems Scorpius will have to make adjustments to the plans for the whole year... He should not miss a word!

She couldn't help but mirror him, her antennae swishing to the right when he leaned left, swishing to the left when he leaned right. The snakes on her person did the same. Her gasp as the nimble wildclaw took things to the next level left her mouth right in time with the hissing from her friends and the cheers from the crowd. --- Dance was over, and dancer himself interviewed, she brushed her hair out of her face, shyly once more and thanked him for his time. The slate and chalk she used to communicate primarily were wiped clean and stashed away. She felt familiar vibrations hurling at her at top speed. [i]Malady, it must be[/i] she thought. She was quite worn out and didn't really want to deal with her enthusiastic friend right now. Her quieter friends friends wriggled happily in beat with the loud bass sounds coming from the stall a few blocks down and offered a solution. [i] An instrument vendor, it must be[/i], she thought, [i]this is perfect. I might not ever be a dancer, but here's the right place to pick up a skill or two in music. My friends will like that, I bet! So will the hatchlings. Malady will forgive me for making my quick escape...probably get distracted by next shiny items she sees. There are a lot of shiny things for sale here.[/i] She set off towards those soothing vibrations, only slightly guilty about ducking out of Malady's path, and counting the coins in her purse and nodding along.

What she really wanted were the biscuits, waffles, cakes and marmalade... Oh yummy! They were essentially plants at one time, right? [url=http://flightrising.co/main.php?dragon=49936663][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/499367/49936663.png[/img] SpeckleRose was trying hard to appear as the proud, male dragon he was, while inside he was jumping up and down like a hatchling, tickled to pieces by all the lavish foods before him.. He started off picking and choosing, but his desires got the best of him and he decided to try at least one of EVERYTHING! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49936661][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/499367/49936661.png[/img]Creampuff was a little pickier than her two friends when it came to her diet. She looked over the long table full of wondrous foods, and beautiful displays, the likes she had never seen before. Mushrooms and fungus were her favorites and they had some of every kind here. Sauteed Cindershrooms, lightly seasoned Dryad's Saddle, beautiful diseased fungus, fairy ears and her most favorite, Glow Mushrooms! She couldn't resist and gorged herself on the delicacies. When all three friends had stuffed themselves, they settled in a spacious seating area to rest their aching bellies and listen to a beautiful Skydancer play her pipeflute. What a magnificent performance! "We need to count our treasure, so that we are sure to get the things we wanted for our friends back home", said Rosecat. "Agreed, they might be a bit upset with us, if we spent all this time at the Festival and didn't bring them at least a small trinket or bangle", Creampuff mumbled, between the burps from all the mushrooms and fungi she had stuffed herself with. "Let's make a list of what we shall get each one" SpeckleRose begin to make a list. - [b]15 Bluelight Chipskink Tails [/b]for Passion - [b]15 Delicate batwings[/b] for Snowflake - [b]15 Ragepuff Down[/b] for Misty -[b] 1 each Forest Green Wing and Tail wraps[/b] for FireFlyHuntress - [b]1 Clown Gene[/b] for Darklace plus a[b] few pieces of apparel and jewelry[/b], with what they had left. Oh my, that would just about exhaust all their treasure! "A quick nap and we will be off!" "
