It had been a busy time for the Dragon's Throat and its Sultana, for she had been left to shoulder the burdens of leadership on her own. The Academy was beginning to take shape now, and as she scrambled to fill the necessary positions and complete certain preparations, she found herself wishing that she had a partner with whom to share the burden. Of course, Africa had known of and supported her plans, but she had been busy for some time now with her own devices; Ampere, too, had been told of the Academy, but had expressed interest in no more than learning. While she was sure her unlikely pair of friends would spread the word far and wide, she lamented her lack of appropriate vessels for the physical construction of her dream.
-Calm,- Astraeus instructed lazily from his position gliding among the clouds. His bonded, on the other hand, paced along the edge of the oasis, halfway enjoying the view of the Sun glinting off the blue waters and halfway obsessing over her plans and growing to-do lists. I can't, Astraeus. There's just so much to do. She had so many others vying for her attention - her herd, her family, her Academy. How she, one lonely dove, was to handle everything at once was beyond her, but she'd be damned if she didn't try her hardest.
The day waned on, the Sun falling from His position on high and sinking slowly toward the horizon. Another day was coming to an end, another hour slipping from her grasp, another minute leaving her gasping for more. Time was elusive of late as she tried to juggle everything, struggled to do it all, to organize and plan and protect. She watched the sky begin to change colors, clear blue fading into purples and pinks and reds and oranges. It was beautiful, and she longed to take a moment to admire His last display; but she was afraid to stop for too long, for who knows how far behind she would be then?
"Talk talk talk."
Astraeus.
