Things rarely are fair in this world and people always seek to hold more power. That is why Max is getting married to a Hybrid in hopes that they will understand and start to learn how to fight dragons themselves and how to get the weapons they have. It really doesn't work like that though.

They are all participating in the human celebration though and humans are starting see more inside of their tribes. Hybrids are normally very secluded and keep among themselves. They don't share the secrets they hold with anyone, no matter how much humans pester them and try to obtain it. The tribe will learn it eventually, but I was looking forward to Max's marriage and having someone else like me around.

Today is about everyone joining together and celebrating another spring and the riches it will hopefully provide.

Liz was over at dawn, before most of my tribe was even up. I was happy to see Corey and Sam with her although they didn't stay long they did bring me food so we could all eat together. We are outside and they brought the horse I road last night with them. They also brought a few more flowers and some fruits that Liz said would be good for makeup. The guys left around when the other started to really wake up.

Me and Liz went inside and changed into our dresses then I braided my hair except this time I left half of my hair down did two braid with ribbon intertwined then I used i had them meet up at the back of my head. It was mainly just enough to keep hair out of my face. I did my makeup the same as before except this time Liz cut a strawberry in half and had me put it over the makeup I had on my lips. It made the color stronger and pop more. Then she put this light brown substance in a like on my cheek and another on my chin line and a little at my hair line and on the sides of my nose. She blended it all in so it wasn't very dark then she added an oil from the areas in between my eye and hair line to right above where she put the light brown powder at my check bones, she also added some on the top on my nose and above my top lip. She said it was contour and allowed my facial features to stand out more. We were both almost completely finished when Emily and Max came in the hut.

She called to me telling me I needed to wake up. I normally slept in and they would wake me up on the morning and make me breakfast then for events like this Emily would normally help me get ready and then go prepare herself. They weren't expecting me to be awake let alone almost completely ready for the day. I was just finishing putting on my necklace and putting in my earrings. I also still have to put my flower crown on, but other than that we were ready to go ride off and meet the guys.

I had already call someone to go get our horses from the back and bring them to the front of the hut so we could leave when we were finished.

Emily and Max looked shocked. I looked amazing and they were all fully aware of it. I had on a gold necklace with rubies and matching earrings. They didn't expect me to be awake let alone looking like this. They had also never seen my makeup like this since so only ever did my eye shadow and a light color on my lips. I also had always don't my hair completely in braids before.

Liz was in a dress similar to mine but she had black, read, orange, and yellow in hers. Her top skirt had the red, orange, and yellow in it while the underskirt was black along with her top, he top went up and covered her shoulders and park of her neck unlike mine which was short sleeved. She had fire opal earrings and a necklace on.

I smiled at Emily.

"You both look beautiful, but Megan who's you're guest?" Emily asked while trying to be polite.

"This is Liz, she's one of the dragon hunter tribe leaders children. Also thank you, you and your brother can leave so you can get ready. We've already eaten and we are about to leave and head to where the celebration will be held. It's a few miles away and someone has already left to get our horses, it'll take a little while to get there and I would hate for you all to be late because of having to help me. That's why I invited Liz to come over and get ready with me." I said.

Both Mac and Emily nodded and told Liz it was nice to meet her that they would be on their way then. We finished getting read and got on the horses.

As we started to ride through my tribe now that people were awake they were starring. The horses were beautiful and a breed I hadn't even ever seen, I had heard stories when I was little of them but that was it. Now I was riding one and most of these people were actually seeing one for the first time and realizing the stories they had heard about a horse that would shine more brightly than a pearl and had come from the sea foam might actually be true.

They knew the leader held money but to hold enough power and money to have one of these rare animals was out of there comprehensive abilities. None of them knew it wasn't his and that it actually belonged to Liz's tribe and it was there leader who was actually this rich and had that much power as to not only get one but to have 4. In the stables there was 4 white horses that we had road, but there was also a golden one as well. I was told it was their fathers horse.

I was so excited to get to see Corey and to get to go out to the celebration without a guard looking over my shoulder constantly and knowing they were always hovering around.

Last night with them not having any guards and just having to trust they were good was everything I wanted and had been needing for a while. If Corey would of wanted to do something to me he would of yesterday, it's the same with his brother and Liz.

We road as we got closer to where the celebration was being held tonight I could already smell the spices and the food cooking. There were flowers growing and everywhere and the area was filled with bright colors and there was sounds coming from all the people who were finishing setting up and who were getting ready to compete and be our entertainment and those that were making the food for today.

There were a few tents set up for leaders and their families and other high ranking people so they could go in the shade if they wanted.

There were wines with flowers hung in between the tents and other structures.

We road over to Lizs families tent where Corey and Sam were already waiting.

Their tent was so bright, it hand oranges and reds and yellows and some pinks covering it.

The sun was barely up and it was already warm out and it would only get warmer.

We got off our horses and went into the tent. Inside there was a small table that had a tower of fruits, there was also a few pitchers of wines. One was a deep red wine while the other looked almost clear but had a small tint of a pinkish color. I had seen the leaders have wine but only at fancy dinners since wine was expensive and took a long time to make and was hard to travel with. They also had two barrels that had more of each wine in it but they were over in the corner so they would b out of the way.
