Elevia

"Elevia, please go find out where Ehishanya is... She hasn't showed up yet, and it's almost time for her scene."

"Yes, it would be just horrible if she missed it, you know how hard she worked for this role"

"Do hurry.." the master said hastily. Sending me skittering off to see if I could locate the wayward apprentice.

Running through the large field that surrounded the stage I slowed my pace as I reached the apprentice barracks, I wandered over to Anya's cot, to see if she was there, only to find a painting, freshly created (I touched it and could feel the paint was still wet). Looking around, I saw signs of a hurried departure, and several of her art supplies were missing from their customary place under her cot. Starting to worry about her, I summoned my own flit, Chirup, and instructed her to find Anya's flit Okovie.

To my surprise, he sent me an image of the same green field I had just run across, as well as the images of a large green, and Anya. Still holding the painting in my hands, I hurried to the field, where I met to my surprise, Ehishanya, walking calmly towards me. Seeing the painting in my hands, her face lit up, and she ran forwards and upon giving me a big hug, asked for the painting.

"I promise I will give you the painting, but first we have to get you over to the stage, your scene is almost on." I ordered hurriedly. She gave me a disapproving look, and then with a hint of anger in her voice began to explain.

"I was on my way, when I literally ran into Cerlayn and Irrawath, Cerlayn said that Irrawath thought I would make a good candidate, and so I was going to go with them to Tarizal Weyr but then I remembered I forgot my painting which I just adored, so, before we went between I asked Cerlayn if we could come back and get it. She said we could, and so I'm back, I just need to grab the painting, and I will be off again. You can have my part in the play, I know you wanted it." Taking a deep breath, she began again. "Anyways, I really should be going, Cerlayn is motioning for me to come over... If I impress, I will come back to see you some day."

Turning her back and walking perposfully away, she paused by Cerlayn and they spoke for a few moments. Then, timidly, Ehishanya motioned me over.

"Greetings, Ehishanya here has told me that your name is Elevia. I am Cerlayn, and this is Irrawath, my dragon. She, thinks that you might make a good candidate, unfortunately, our clutch has all the candidates it needs. However, I have heard that Dark Moon Weyr is in need of another female candidate, and I would be happy to drop you off there on our way."

My eyes flooded with tears as I heard the words, I would stand before a clutch. Never had I dreamed of such a moment. "Sure." I meekly whispered to Cerlayn, who was already mounted, and helping Anya up. Reaching out a hand from the neck of her dragon, Cerlayn pulled me up and helped me get astride the large green. In the moments after we left the ground, Cerlayn turned around, and seeing the tears on my cheeks commented.

"You might want to wipe your tears away, they will freeze to your face between if you don't." and with that we soared high into the air and towards the future, and my future at Dark Moon Weyr.

As much as I had tried to stay in touch with my theater friends I couldn't seem to find the time to go back and visit them. First with the excitement of hatching, then the daily oiling and cleaning of Emalith. After that there were flying lessons with the Weyrlingmaster and now that Emalith was all grown up, my thoughts of my theater days had all but vanished.

Wild thoughts ran throught Elevia's mind... Did she know any blue riders? When none came to mind she replied. Well, let's go out and meet them. It's rude to keep company waiting. Sprinting to Emalith's back and mounting they headed to the Weyrbowl.

Her emotional feelings are easily aroused and she is always involved in other people's problems as a result of her overly sympathetic nature.
