My Dragon Warrior Mate

Presentation and Dragon Choices

We saw a letter on the table that was addressed to both of us. It was a list of what to expect this month and that we would have a 9 pm curfew so that we would be ready for the following day. We had no idea how much we would have to do daily. It was kind of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, we would be so busy we could not stress over what we could not control. 

But on the other hand, not much downtime to just hang with friends. I think this is because they had so many females in one area. And the amount of bitchy attitudes, catfights, and in general bad attitudes is hard to handle if we have too much idle time. We decided to stay in our room until dinner time.

 At which time we were required to go to the dining hall. Once we had dinner, we went back to our rooms and watched a movie until we were ready for bed. I can not believe I made it through the first week without getting put on the lowest listing. We were informed that our ratings will be, put in our rooms daily. If we fall below a certain point level, we will not be eligible for the wife option.

We must always put our best self forward at all times. Even if our group is currently performing, we are still being observed. There is always so much going on. And we are always on the move. And we know the dragons that will be choosing a mate/wife are continuously paying attention to each of us.

 We do not know exactly; what they are looking for. Just like humans, some like us to be pretty, some prefer smart, some prefer us to be meek or strong! Some of them seem to want it all, and so none of us feel safe at the top of the list because it can always change.

Today is our groups' time to walk along the walkway. Essentially, so that every dragon gets a chance to see us up close and personal, and it seems like they each take a deep breathe when we walk by. We go one at a time. And there is a large gap between each female. So that the dragons can individually get a sense of each of us. And be able to tell the difference between each of us when they are watching us.

While Caroline and I are waiting for our turn, I try to tell her, "I am sure I am going to trip and fall or be booed off the stage, and I will be horrified if that happens. I do not even know how I made it this far. And I do not know what I am doing. " As my best friend, Caroline, says, " I will not fall, and I will definitely not be booed off stage!"

She is called before me so, I get to watch her walk and see that she is so fabulous she is sure to get the top dragon, and I only hope he treats her with love and respect because she is worth it. I am next, and I keep telling myself what Caroline said and trying to make myself believe it. I wait for my cue, and when it becomes time for me to go. I begin to walk, and I see that the dragon warriors are totally gorgeous, and they have skin the color of honey and dark long braided hair. And their eyes are dark and sensual, and they are all looking at me!

I try to walk while looking ahead and ignoring them so that I do not fall, but as I almost complete my walk, right at the end is the most gorgeous hunk of a dragon man I have ever seen! And I almost fall flat on my face, but before I could, he saw me stumble, and he caught me and lifted me back on the stage and smiled at me.

 I was so enchanted by him, I do not remember leaving the runway. When I got back to Caroline, I asked her if she noticed him, and she did not know who I was talking about, but that she saw a few she hoped to bid for her, and I did not know which ones she was talking about. Oh well, we all like different types, I guess.

After our group is done, the next one starts, and as we stand back; and watched. I noticed some of the warriors that I saw when we were up there seem to walk away so, I guess they had made their choices. We knew that they can select up to 5 of us and that there is a choosing order of things, but we will not know who chooses who until the last week. I guess because they could always change their minds.

Even though we are told how things are going to go from week to week. We do not know what anyone is thinking. The only way we know we are okay is that slip we get told us if we scored high enough. Even though it takes a full week to have every female walk the runway. And we only walk once. The rest of the time, we are being shown how to act on their planet. And what life is like there.

So we have classes that we attend and homework sometimes. So, basically, we are back in school! I do love learning about their race and how similar we are in some ways. And how different we are in others. I hope if I make it past this week that I might just have a chance not to fail utterly and make a fool out of myself.

I bet my sister is doing a great job because she was always telling me how she is forever going to be better than me. At least I have Caroline here with me to push me to do my best. I just hope my best is good enough. When the day is done. And we eat our dinner and get to go back to our room to relax on the couch and watch a movie. Caroline and I discuss whatever class we had and how much we look forward to going there and starting new lives.
