The Abuto wasn't even full-grown. Fear turned Sasha's mouth bitter as she sensed Tasyth beginning to wake, and the grip on her chair turned her knuckles white. Lately, the Tiger had been acting strange. Restless, impatient, snappy for no reason....Sasha had consulted Nira, and been told that her beloved Tasyth would soon Dance. The thought scared her. Just because her Abuto was ready didn't mean she was ready. But now Tasyth was wakening... With a heart-worn cry Tasyth awoke, and launched herself into the air. They had been outside in a small area with a few chairs....but now the female kept calling to others, the male Abuto in the vicinity, with curdling cries as she headed towrds the Feeding Grounds. Sasha followed close behind, crying to Tasyth to blood, and not gorge on the creature. The Tiger obeyed almost instantly. A single herdbeast was blooded...this seemed to satisfy the Abuto queen. Already Sasha's thoughts were becoming muddled with Tasyth's as the Tiger rose in the air, crooning shrilly for males to chase...and flying in a way which her body rippled, flowed...
((All middle and high male Abuto can join, since she's young and undersized. If you don't have a male Abuto, feel free to bring in a wild one.))

ooc// I should point out...they're about the size of large canines, the queens. She can only blood one...maybe two, and Abuto listen. They both run on the ground, fly in the air, and can hide as much as they want to recover. Nothing special comes out of this, since Abuto keep their aroused emotions mostly to themselvevs. I still need to finish updating the Abuto page about these things.... Want a wild?

Marvanth lifted her shining head, whistling in a loevly, musical tone to no one in particular. While Nira watched from her small, close to the ground room, her queen rose into to air after her foster Child, singing in her musical whistle. She dipped around Tasyth, congratulating her, encouraging her. She touched noses once with the Tiger, then dropped gracefully away, leaving Tasyth on her own. Still, Marvanth encouraged her, urging her to show everyone the rare beauty that was hers.

The thoughts of her Tiger were ripped away from her as Tasyth realized that her feelings could be withheld, as to make the Dance unaffect her rider. Giving lyrical croon back to her foster mother, the white-and black female glided into the sky, before dropping back in an elegant loop. Sending a questioning bugle in hopes of male joining, she continued to soar in the air, flying in what seemed like lazy circles.

Gliding ever so gracefully over the lip of Abuton's volcano, came three whistling males. The first in the lead, with darker stripes, and luminous orange, brown, and white scales was a Tiger male. He sang his affections, Large wings cutting smooth arcs through the air. He followed Tayth's circles in an opposing pattern.
The male directly behind him had the vibrant scales of a Lava. His firery wings cut wide swaths through the sky as he circled just below them, his croons and whistles vary in ptich as he sang his admiration.
The last in line was difficult to see against the sky, for his scales were so pale he appeared a small whisp of cloud. As he settled into a circling pattern right above the Tigers, and indeticle to the Lava's, the sun caught his scales, and showed him as a ghostly Phantom. In a hollow, whispy voice his sang.

She sang back to them, about how she would evade their clutches, taunting them gently. She hurtled towards the ground at topmost speed, before spreading the wings to their fullest length and catching the wind to soar upwards again, performing an intrcate loop as she flew above the males to behind them.

Forming a 'v', the males dove, duplicating her move as they sang in hormony. The Tiger was slightly ahead of the other two. He perked his ears and arched his neck. The Phatom and Lava did the same, and they sang a high, wavoring note together. Marvanth whistled in a gentle undertone from the air near Nira's room, whie the trainer watched in awe. Abuto Dances were such a rare thing to see.

She flipped to the side, her hum a high soprano that seemed to contradict their music, and barely blend, yet sound beautiful at the same time. A small ache had started in her scarred haunch, but she ignored it. Tasyth would lead these Abuto on a merry dance, and her tail waved slowly to tell them such.

The three flipped oppositely to her, raising their voices slightly. The leading Tiger struck a sudden low, barritone note, and lead the other two as they fipped to match Tasyth. They would dance however she wished, for as long as she wished.

She darted over the rest of the Weyrbowl, voice singing in a low alto, harmonizing with the male Tiger's baritone. Tail flicked as she dipped back into the Weyrbowl and then out again, turning sharply to the right as she increased her altitude, form wavering slightly.

The three followed her with near flawless precition. They separated slightly, leaving each other more room. The Phantom and Lava increased their pitch high above Tasyths, creating layers in the Dance song that lilt softly on listening ears. The farthest, nothern peek of the Weyrbowl drew near.

She put on a sudden burst of speed, voice rising as she did as she scled the peak. At the top her wings ached, and she just spread them wide and plummeted, stopping herself in the nick of time to loop back up again, using thermals to help her. She crooned to her Trappers wickedly, telling them they'd never trap her, never! She, a Tiger, finer than even the other Tiger! With somethign close to a gurgling laugh she sped off again, weaving around around objects.

The Chase phase had begun. The male Tiger catgh a tail wind, and picked up speed, soaring above the peak. As he looked down, he could see Rintha forest far down the slope, and Lodicus hold not far off along the base to the west. Folding in his four wings, he sped after Tasyth, opening his second wing set just enough to steer, and his first set enough to level himself. Rough, gray volcanic rock sped past as he follwed, his barritone note growing into the lilt of a flute.
The Lava caught the same tail wind, but he did not drop. Taking to slope at a quick, easy glide, he soon lost sight of both tigers, but his wing arms did not scream out in pain.
The phantom seemed to disappear as he flew higher, disppearing into the whisps of clouds that drifted across the sky.
"They'll return." Nira said, if only to comfort Sasha. It was so different to have your Abuto dance, and be unable to see or feel her, unlike a dragon or fire lizard.
