((Ok, this is my (DS) first time playing True by myself, though NS had asked me before to help him write her. So... yeah...))

I�ll protect you...

True didn�t notice the green walking �round the sands for quite some time as she looked down. In fact, she had become oblivious to the entire Hatching, stuck under the influence of her headache. What should she do? True felt about to collapse, her head hurt so. Was she allowed to just leave, if she felt bad? However, it was just about to get worse and better.
She heard a small shriek, and then turned just in time to fall hard onto her back. Giving a small scream herself, she opened her emerald eyes to see whirling red-blue ones staring into her own. It took her a few moments to realize that she had a green dragon sprawled out on top of her, and the pain in her shoulders came from the green accidentally clawing into her shoulders. The emerald�s screech turned into a croon however, and something happened as those giant orbs turned a beautiful blue.
True! The soprano instantly knew her name, and spoke in the sweetest, most wonderful voice True had ever heard. I am Zairith! Thank goodness I found you, it�s a bit scary out here. Please, food? True just stared wide-eyed at the hatchling. For a moment, it took her to realize what was so wrong. Then, it hit her.

I won�t let the rain fall down...

�My headache�s gone.�
Zairith crooned gently, then gave a small shriek. True! I�m so sorry... I�ve hurt you, haven�t I? Shards, I have!
The green tenderly took her forepaws out of the girl�s shoulders, eyes shining in worry. She nudged the girl, spreading her new wings over her, and nuzzled True gently. Oh, True, I am so sorry! Are you all right? Will you be ok?
True groaned slightly, and sat up, pushing the green head out of her way motherly. �I�m all right, Zairith. I just need to get up.�
But I�ve hurt you, haven�t I?
�Don�t worry.� True said, sensing the fledgling�s hunger. �You must be hungrier than I am pained.�
But you bleed crimson.
�I�ll be fine. I�ll see a healer after you feed, ok?�
If you are sure, love.
�I am.�
Struggling, True wrapped an arm around the damp hide of her beauteous creature, and heaved. The green arched her neck, and brought True to her feet. True dusted off, and heaved a loud sigh.
�Are you sure it�s I who pleases you?� She asked, the gravity of the situation finally upon her.
Yes. Zairith said, crooning, outsized eyes glimmering.
�It�s not too late to choose someone else.�
Yes it is. You came. That moment became too late.
�I wouldn�t be so sure.�
You aren�t me.
True did not know how to respond, so she just walked, her mind for once clear of any ache. Zairith made sure to keep the pain away. True would not pain, not as long as Zairith lived.

I'll always be around...
