I lean against a tree covering my eyes as Ali and Nyra hide. I feel the bark against the back of my hands. It smells fragrant and sweet.  

“One, Two, Three, Four, Five…what comes after five?”

“SIX!” Ali yells from her hiding spot. 

“Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten! Ready or not, here I come!” I call out as I run through the gardens leaning in the first bush I can find. 

No one there. I think before looking around until I hear giggles from behind me. I run over and find Nyra crouched down behind an apple tree. 

“Found you!” I call out before tapping her shoulder.

“Ah man! But I had a great spot!” She exclaims with a stomp of her foot. 

“You did, but your giggles gave it away.” I say holding her hand as we start searching for Ali.

“Ali is always so good at hiding!” Nyra pouts as she looks in another bush only to find Ali isn't there.

“It's because she's older, maybe when we turn five we'll be better too.” I say looking forward to my nameday in two moons.

“Maybe.” Nyra says still pouting as she looks around trying to catch anything. 

I move towards the pond and see a head peaking out behind a tree only to quickly hide again. I know instantly who it is and run ove to then as fast as I can. 

“Found you!” I call out tapping Ali's shoulder.

“If I didn't poke my head out I would've won.” Ali pouts as me and her walk back over to a cheering Nyra.

“Alright I got Found first which means I'm the seeker! You got ten seconds!” Nyra says before running to the tree I counted at.

Ali blots off towards a bush leaving me alone to try and search for a spot. I start running looking back every now and then to see if Nyra has finished yet. 

On one of these quick checks I run into something landing on my bottom hand. Tears come to my eyes as I look at my tore stockings.

“No need to cry, Little Velaryon.” I hear a man say. 

When I finally look up I see the most handsome man I've ever seen. Way more handsome than Papa, and Mama says he's the most handsome man ever. 

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when he wipes my tears and holds my face in his rough hands. 

“There you go, a pretty girl with no more tears.” He says as I reach up to touch his hands.

“Who are you?” I ask as I take in his long white hair, purple eyes, and handsome face. 

He chuckles before saying. “Daemon, Prince Daemon of House Targaryen.” He says before standing and lifting me up into my arms bringing me to my concerned Papa who must have heard me crying. 

When I'm back in Papa's arms I can't take my eyes off the Prince Daemon of House Targaryen. 

“I'm gonna marry him one day.” I say to Papa who only chuckles and kisses my cheek. 

Papa may think I'm being silly, but I know I'll marry him one day, that I'll be his Little Velaryon.

I sit by the windowsill as Papa explains all the parts of the ship again. But instead of listening I watch as Nyra, Mama, and Laenor fly through the skies on their dragons, 

My egg has turned to stone last year, though I wasn’t shocked for I always felt a pull from the Dragonpit instead. The only dragons in there that are unclaimed are Dreamfyre, the dragon of Rhaena the black bride, and Brightfyre the dragon of the late Princess Daenerys who was the daughter of King Jaehaerys. 

And with the thought of Brightfyre I know I have to claim a dragon. I go to ask Papa if I can play outside when a knock comes to the door only to open and show Uncle Vaemond. I never liked him, but in this moment he is the best person ever.

“Laena can you leave us as we speak of our next voyage?” Papa asks as him and Uncle Vaemond begin to speak. 

I take this as my opportunity to claim a dragon, and I would be stupid to not take it. It takes little to no convincing to the carriage rider to take me down to the Dragonpit. On the ride down I think about which I want. 

Dreamfyre is bigger, but she also is independent and won’t like being around many dragons which she would need to do when we go back to Driftmark. 

Brightfyre is smaller, but she is more sociallable and considered gentle and playful. Plus pink is prettier than blue, but I’ll never tell Papa that. 

When I finally make it to the Dragonpit it is like my body moves on it’s own. It seems like within seconds I stand in front of the pink beast called Brightfyre.

I watch as she lifts her head and stares at me with those golden eyes of her. I lift my hand staring right at her as she slowly rests her snout to my palm. I feel her warmth fill me, but most of all I feel the way my soul sings as the bond solidifies. I know I can’t fly yet for Mama and Papa will not be happy as I have no training. But it is the thought, no the fact I know I have a dragon that brings a smile of joy to my face.

Special thanks to my bestie @sugutoad for making the header for this fic! I swear I'd be lost without you girly!

Četiri glavna razloga za prvi poraz Golden State Warriorsa ove sezone

Golden State Warriorsi su u prve dvije utakmice sezone pobijedili 35+, što dovoljno govori da je Golden State Warriors još uvijek u vrlo vrućem stanju ove sezone. U ovom kolu igrat će protiv Los Angeles Clippersa. Obje momčadi su favoriti za osvajanje naslova u ligi. Pa tko će biti konačni pobjednik među njima u nba dresovi?

Na kraju ove utakmice Golden State Warriorsi izgubili su od Los Angeles Clippersa 104-112. Postoji nekoliko glavnih razloga zašto će Golden State Warriors izgubiti ovu utakmicu. Prvi razlog je taj što je Cuury u ovoj utakmici dva puta ozlijedio lijevi gležanj, zbog čega je rano odustao od igre, a zbog čega su Golden State Warriorsi doživjeli i prvi ovosezonski poraz. Cuuryjeva ozljeda zabrinula je i mnoge navijače u Golden State Warriors dresovi. Drugi razlog je taj što je Hieldov učinak u prve dvije utakmice bio čak i bolji od Cuuryjevog, ali Hieldove magije više nije bilo u ovoj utakmici, sa samo 8 poena i 3 od 14 šuteva. Treći razlog je taj što je početni dvojac Green i Davis pogodio 2 od ukupno 8 udaraca. Četvrti razlog: Golden State Warriorsi izgubili su 20 koševa u igri 38-58.

Golden State Warriorsi doživjeli su prvi poraz ove sezone, a ozljeda njihove zvijezde još uvijek nije jasna. Ova utakmica bila je težak poraz za Golden State Warriorse.

"The Space Shuttle Atlantis and its six-member crew launch at 11:15 a.m. (EDT) to begin the two-day journey to the International Space Station on the STS-115 mission. Atlantis is slated to dock with the station on Monday Sept. 11, 2006. During the 11-day mission, the STS-115 crew of six will resume construction of the station. The shuttle and station crews will work with ground teams to install a girder-like structure, known as the P3/P4 truss aboard the station. The 35,000-pound piece includes a set of giant solar arrays, batteries and associated electronics. The arrays eventually will double the station's power capability."

Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104) on mission STS-51J

Space Shuttle Atlantis launch, 3 October 1985.

[siryl]

The final space shuttle flight was completed ten years ago today.

[princemannikin]

For its many faults, between the lacking culture of safety, to its mismatched management and engineering corps, to its success vs. failure rate, the space shuttle program still produced one hell of an awe inspiring orbital vehicle and launch stack.
