Kye flew off Monara's shoulder as she walked toward's the sea, her hair blowing in her face from the light morning breeze. Breathing in deeply Monara gave the sea a critical look, deciding in her mind, that the wind would stop around noon time. Something she wished wouldn't happen, since the Southern continent was much hotter than Ista island, and Monara didn't want to overheat. The the wind help cool her down considerably while she was still getting used to the extreme heat of the Southern's summer. With a small yawn and stretch she was ready to swim. Running toward's the sea Monara waded and them dove into a wave. Gasping as she surfaced, partly from the cool water and partly from the thrill of simply swimming.
She hadn't had that much time for anything besides lesson's and work since she deiceded to become a Candidate for the upcoming clutch. Monara hadn't realized that you couldn't just go up and stand and Impress a dragon, you had top learn a lot before hand. Like how to cut up meat for you dragon, how many times a day to oil it, stuff like that. Which Monara had been soaking up like a sponge, she couldn't help that it was all interesting stuff. All of the other Candidate's had either grown up living in Lateo Weyr, or had come in from one of the many Weyrholds and Cotholds that surrounded it. But even those Candidate'skbnew something of how dragons ate and such, they found the infromation boring , while Monara couldn't get enough of it.
Flipping on her back Monara let the waves take her into shore, she had been swimming the entire time she'd been thinking, and had gotten quite far out to sea. A buff of cold air brought Kye a foot or 2 above her. He wet sand shinning brown in the morning light. he chirped and hovered abover her for a second mero before diving into the sea beside her. Sputtering Monara righted herself in the water, coughing from the water that Kye's dive had splattered on her face. Opening her eyes she glared at the brown flit who was clinging to her shoulder, so as to not get separated from Monara.
"Your quite a handful sometimes Kye...but I guess with more training you could be more useful than you are troublesome." She laughed when Kye simply sniffed at her before paddleing off to check out a clump of sea-grass/plant that was being brought in toward the shore bye the waves. Looking around she found that she had drifted away fromthe original beach and was near a small rocky cove. With a surpirsed and excited grin Monara struck off towards the little cove, wondering what she would find there...maybe some interesting plants. The Southern continent seemed to be full of interesting plants,animals...and people.
