So she was new. Cress found herself a bit relieved, she had worried for a moment that this new girl- Satia, he said her name was- had been a secret lover of sorts. Now she also noticed Satia's look of barely contained polite confusion. Cress was just about to ask about the girl's family but...

Cress raised an eyebrow at her brother as he marched over to her with the girl he had been talking to. "Apologies, Daryon," she replied, only for the benefit of the new girl. Daryon would know well enough that she was mocking him. Cress wondered how long Daryon and the girl had known each...

Cress wondered at Eira's dislike of quite nearly everything- her role as heir, dancing, taking charge, and large gatherings. It seemed she only cared for her dragon and Cress; and as she dismissed Cress to 'greet some friends', it seemed even that was shaky. Cress nodded and smiled, turning...

Cress could not keep the smile off her face as Eira chattered away. Though she loved her siblings dearly (except maybe for the twins), she could still understand Eira's dislike towards her own siblings. But, as they moved away from Eira's father in search of a dance partner for the youngest...

Cress stood close by Daryon, Brevis and the twins around them. Her neck was craned to look up, watching the Moon Dragons as they attempted to find a mate. "They're beautiful,' she said, keeping her gaze on the dragons above. And they really were- sometimes they were harder to make out in the...

Cress grumbled awake at the sound of her brother's voice echoing through the walls. One would think, with all the resources and money a their disposal, that they would be able to soundproof their walls. And yet Daryon still managed to be loud, even this early in the morning. But despite his...
