Ameris watched the dragonets play a bit longer until they ran off somewhere else to play when a Sandwing started to complain about them taking up too much space,in the area. Ameris couldn't help but snicker lightly at the grumpy Sandwing that went on to continue their shopping,perhaps their day was ruined by some dragonets that only knew how to play and misbehave. Though,the conversation of some royal family kept being bought up by dragons around the market place which left dragons to wonder why they would come from so far to only form a relationship with the Kingdom of Sand.

Ameris didn't seem to care about it much tho,she was more curious on what tribe this royal family is. Maybe they were SkyWings? She shook her head,not believing that first thought one bit since the SkyWings did live a bit up east towards the Diamond Spray River. Ameris took a second to think again before shrugging,having no clue on who this royal family would be. Tho the feeling to know,kept on tugging at her mind to get the answer,at least.

As Chuvonor got up in his lectica and sat down, he prayed for grace from the SandWings, and prayed that they didn't detect his charms. After his prayers, he kindly ordered the procession to begin marching towards the market, which they eagerly did, several strong dragons carrying the corpulent Royal Ice Dragon prince and his litter behind and in front of a retinue of battle hardened, armored bodyguards.

After around a half hour, the procession arrived at the SandWing market, a herald heading inside the market first. The herald was a Jewel Dragon with ruby red scales that shone like the gems they were colored after, was very hardy in build, and to a few SandWing drakkas, quite attractive. He cleared his throat, and began his announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, drakes and drakka alike, I am pleased to announce to you our arrival! From the far off continent of Zaguya, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Grysalvi, Prince Chuvonor Matthias Grysalvi!" The herald announced, before standing in the crowd of SandWings while the retinue marched towards the center of the market in a peaceful, almost joyous fashion. Chuvonor, in his litter, gave a shy, but polite and gentle wave of hello to the SandWings, seeing that they were more wyrmlike in build, with their wings being used as an extra set of legs to take off with when not folded.

The Sandwings around heard the voice of a herald of some sort that rung throughout the market. The royals were here already? A few of the Sandwings stopped what they were doing and placed their attention on the herald until he stopped speaking,leaving the dragons around to mumble things to each other. "Why were they here?","is this that royal family?" The mumbles continued as the Ice dragon with black horns waved gently to the dragons that surrounded him and the other litter of the Royals.

Ameris heard the voice of a herald. The Royals had arrived! Excited about this,she was about to just run out of the tent but something stopped her..Tegu,her father,stopped her from moving. "Don't cause a scene.." He growled towards her before standing up onto his feet,exiting the tent and into the crowd. Ameris frowned slightly and followed after her father,getting bumped into Sandwings around.

Finally after a while,Ameris caught up with her father that got a good spot to see the Royals walk through the market. Her jet black eyes were filled with interest as she examined the ice dragons that walked,their jewelry shining brightly in the desert sun.

Chuvonor looked around at the Scorpion's Den Market curiously, seeing quite an elaborate village and a flourishing market. While the heat was something that he'd have to get used to, he couldn't deny that this was a fascinating place, with many new dragons he had never seen before. He then noticed two SandWings amongst the throngs of other SandWings. One was an older merchant who seemed very cross and upset, using his wing to keep his younger companion in place, and he blushed at her beauty. She was around his age, her scales shone of light golden yellow and a sort of tanned bronze brown. Her eyes shone like black onyx stones, her horns were short and curled, and she had a cute horn on her nose ridge. Her entire figure and body screamed of elegance and curiosity, and he wondered why the older one was keeping her restrained.
"Stop, please... I wish to address everyone..." Chuvonor said to his entourage. At once, the soldiers stopped, and Chuvonor gently climbed down from his lectica to begin speaking, steeling his nerves as best as he could.
"Um... hello, everyone. You all can simply call me Chuvonor. Me and my bodyguards are from a far off continent known as Zaguya to us. I'm sure you're curious as to why we're here. Three months ago, sailors of my home kingdom discovered this continent, the continent of Pyrhhia, and reported that there were other dragons that we weren't aware even existed. My father, King Xavrinthan, is known as a mighty dragon of war back home, but he also knows when it is time for peace... and he sent me to establish a colony where your breed and mine can flourish together peacefully and alongside each other... I assure you that we mean no harm to you or your fellow dragons. We simply wish to get to know the culture and the races of dragons that dwell here on this continent, and hope that the dragons here also grow curious and wish to learn more about the species of dragons that dwell in Zaguya." Chuvonor said truthfully, though his shy, nerve filled voice could be heard by all of the SandWings. To some, especially the likes of Ameris, this sort of change from the likes of Blister, Blaze, and other royal dragons, was a nice change, cute, even.

Ameris listened quietly,her claws digging into the sand below as her father stayed close to her,his wing hovering over her as some sort of protection,tho she didn't seem to mind what her father did at all,she was more interested in what the dragon said. She admired their silver vulpes scales that also shimmered with the blue gem on his forehead.

Listening to him speak to the Sandwings,she couldn't help but stand up and move into the small clearing that was created around the Royals. She dragged her tail along the sand below before she stood before one of the Royals themselves. Tegu stood up also,his jet black eyes wide with shock and a hint of anger as his own daughter just went up to one dragon with a higher role than herself! The male Sandwing stepped up behind her,pulling her by her tail. "What did I just tell you?!" He snapped at her,pulling her back by her tail to make sure she was nowhere close by the new,unknown dragons.

Ameris was about to speak until she was pulled back by her father,giving her no time to ask a single question. She was about to complain but she was cut off by her father.

Chuvonor blinked in surprise as the drakka he had seen being restrained before approaching him in curiosity, before being restrained again by the same middle-aged dragon from before.
"Um... sir... may I ask why you are blocking her? It's... it's not a crime to want to talk to me..." Chuvonor asked, highly confused.

Sorry !! just finished my homework 😭

Tegu stepped in front of his daughter and extended his wings,as if he was trying to be intimating to the Royal. A low growl escaped his throat,his jet black eyes piercing into Chuvonor’s. “My daughter doesn’t need to talk to some unknown dragon that traveled from a whole other continent. I’ll not allow it,” He finished with a small hiss,his forked-tongue sliding out of his mouth.

Ameris frowned at her father’s words. Why was he acting like this,especially in front of a dragon that’s kin to Royal blood. She crouched down and slowly stepped away from her father,making sure not to cause more of a scene. Ameris looked at Chuvonor and dipped her head slowly,mouthing “sorry” towards him.

Chuvonor listened carefully to the SandWing dragon's concerns, his statement being that he didn't see it necessary for his daughter to talk to a stranger from a far off land, even going so far as not allowing them to interact.
"Um... pardon me for asking this... but if you don't wish to talk with me... how am I supposed to make a good rapport with all of the SandWings here in this market?" Chuvonor asked curiously, hoping that Tegu could explain his reasoning.

The other Sandwings around listened to both of the dragons in the small clearing,they seemed interested on what was happening. It was better drama than what has been happening for the past few weeks.

Tegu only responded with a growl,his barbed tail curled as if he was about to attack the Royal that stood before him,but they had bodyguards all around that could perhaps kill him with in just a few seconds. Soon,he finally replied and lowered his tail. “You can ask all of these other fools in this place,but me and my daughter will stay out of it.” And that’s how he ended the conversation,he turned and walked into the crowd,leaving Ameris behind.

Ameris gulped,watching her father walk away in anger. It was normal for him to be grumpy if you wanna say it like that. She sighed and glanced at the other dragons that started to mumble a few things to each other,probably about what just happened. Ameris flared her nostrils and took a deep breath before looking over at Chuvonor,her jet black eyes filled with worry yet a hint of happiness. “I’m sorry about him..”

Chuvonor yelped a little as the SandWing Tegu tried to attack him with what appeared to be a poisonous barb in his tail. But before Chuvonor could respond with a ice shield, his armored and bejeweled bodyguards glowered at the SandWing, telling him just through their faces to lower his tail before he created an incident. Chuvonor listened as Tegu told him to talk to someone else while he and his daughter stayed out of the affairs before accidentally leaving Ameris behind. While mumblings in the crowd began to stir, Chuvonor blushed as the beautiful SandWing female that was left behind by her father spoke up to him, apologizing for her dad with a worried yet happy look on her face.

"Um... it's okay... he's... not the first dragon who's tried to shut my efforts down... I was... going to coat myself with my ice powers to block his tail... in case he tried to plow through my bodyguards... where I'm from... my species is called a Royal Ice Dragon... we're called this because of the jewels that grow in our heads from birth... and they're not just for show... they show other dragons the strength of our ice powers. The deeper and more icy the blue, the more powerful our arctic powers..." Chuvonor said truthfully, explaining his breed to the drakka and what the gem in his head was actually for.

Ameris stood there in shock for a quick moment,quite amazed on how this new dragon species was able to use a shield to block such a effective move that the tribes around would normally avoid the best they could. She blinked back into reality and noticed that the Royal was talking to her. Wait..he was talking to her? Ameris was shocked but her shocked expression soon turned into a joyful one. “oh,that’s cool! y’all seem..different from the Icewings here..” She said,her eyes examining their appearance.

The Royal looked quite adorable in her eyes,his jewelry and the color of his scales made her heart flutter a bit. Ameris tilted her head to the side as she noticed their body,it seemed a bit on the chubby side tho she didn’t seem to mind much. “I bet all of the drakes and drakkas are pretty over where you came from,” She said,trying to at least be nice to the new outsider. Sandwings around watched the two talk normally.

As the SandWing drakka spoke to him, he blushed as she grew joyful. He appreciated the fact that she chose to be the first to begin talking with him, surprised that she thought that all of the dragons where he was from were absolutely gorgeous. He decided to respond to her to make it so that the conversation wasn't one sided. It was his job to establish good relations and faith between his dad's kingdom and the SandWings of the Scorpion's Den, after all.

"Um... that's quite the flattery... but I'd be... dishonest if I said that that was always the case, miss... there are probably... just as many beautiful dragons and dragonelles... as there are those who would be perceived as... ugly... both on the outside and on the inside... I would... kinda be one of those dragons... that could fall in the latter... because the colors that I have... are more... feminine... thanks for... deciding to talk with me, though... despite your dad's efforts... at stonewalling me and my fellows... I hope my kingdom... and this city... can work together to establish a good relationship with both the dragons of Zaguya... and the dragons of Pyrhhia..." Chuvonor said truthfully, before seeing some of his bodyguards begin talking with the other SandWings.

Ameris laughed softly at his words before she fell silent once more,her eyes examining his scales. In her eyes,his scales were super beautiful even if they were considered more feminine,for other dragons. She offered a small smile towards him,listening to him as he continued to speak. "Ugly?" She said in disbelief,clearly not agreeing with what they said. "I don't think it matters what color your scales are masculine or feminine,It's just a genetic thing I believe. I say you're quite elegant,don't say you're ugly to yourself." Ameris said in a serene tone.

After a while of looking at the Royal,a small blush formed upon her face and she looked away,her eyes wandering on the other Royal Ice dragons that spoke to the Sandwings that stood around,unaware if they should trust these new dragons that traveled far to only make a relationship with dragons they barely knew. She felt like she could trust the outsiders especially the one she just met,he was super nice and quite handsome. How could any drakka not have their eyes on him? Ameris sighed.

Chuvonor blushed as the drakka told him that she thought he was quite elegant and beautiful, and that he shouldn't consider himself as ugly. He tried not to think about what he truky looked like without the enchantments to appear to be a normal dragon.
I was just complimented by a completely beautiful stranger... would she... make this same compliment if she knew about my mutations? Chuvonor wondered in the confines of his own mind and psyche.
"Well... I'm glad you don't see me as dangerous, miss... while my bodyguards are armed in case danger arises... or someone decides to try and assassinate me... we did only come here to establish peaceful relations with the dragons here... maybe even good trade relations... back home, we have several resources that I think would be rather foreign to Pyrhhia..." Chuvonor said truthfully, thinking of the cobrilite used in the armor of many of the dragons of Grysalvi, the iron tough dragonoak wood used to make the most stylish and fireproof furnishings and buildings, as dragonoak was naturally fire retardant...
