Nadine walked out on the wooden stage with Lady Rosalind’s hand intertwined with hers, both of the women comely as nocturnal goddesses. The midnight blue backdrop, dappled with glimmering stars, behind them played against their regal attire. As Chieftain Harlin’s eyes trailed over to our respected seamstress, his lips slightly parted as he absorbed her unconventional appearance. Typically, Nadine simply wore an inarguably practical work smock, a nearly shapeless dress of undyed linen that allowed all of her vibrant creations to stand out.

Now, she was clad in a form-fitting lavender gown that dropped down to her ankles, tapering at her waist and drawing attention to her generous bosom. The usually bare-faced maiden was adorned with our enhancing powders, deep black kohl and shimmering peach paint lending her grey eyes a supernatural beauty. Still, despite Nadine’s fetching looks, I simply was not drawn to her in any primal sense. Some unspoken message told me that she was marked by my Chieftain.

However, once my eyes turned towards the spellmistress and traveled down to Lady Rosalind’s legs, almost impossibly long and toned as though she were crafted by a master sculptor, any thought of Nadine was thoroughly burned from my mind. I hadn’t recalled Rosalind putting any undue effort in training her body, especially since she was so enamored with her tomes, but those legs were utterly perfect. I wished to have them wrapped around me, and perhaps that would come to be after she was fully christened as mine.

Her gown, its sides split all the way to the top of each hip, was the height of fashion in our clan. I had seen illustrations of such a riding gown, the preferred trappings of princesses and queens of yore. These women often remained unturned in order to utilize their logic and discipline in battle, untainted by primal rage. Such noble ladies were instrumental for steering our dragons true, assuring they did not devolve into unstoppable chaos. But such flickers of the past were mere sparks compared to my admiration of the Sorceress’ figure, lean and vigorous. I eagerly await what I might do with it once she proved herself to my comrades.

After I finished eyeing Lady Rosalind as though she were a delicacy I could dine upon, I could focus on the subtleties of Nadine’s handiwork. The Sorceress looked fully battle-ready with gold plate armor pieces where she would most require protection, her elbows, her waist, and her shoulders all adorned with the gleaming metal. It was as though the costume had lent her an entirely new personality or perhaps brought to the surface what was hidden within her.

As Nadine strode by her side, there wasn’t even a brushstroke of bashfulness on Lady Rosalind’s features. Her exquisite face was the picture of cool composure, her amber eyes set with determination, and her lips pressed together sternly. I glanced to the side and watched as my kin studied her with unadulterated awe, some clearly steeped in envy. We never had an opportunity to attire
