A'shran led Cheironth toward the buckets of meat, toward the other weyrlings, so overwhelmed by the entire experience that he had completely forgotten that he wasn't even supposed to technically be

The Candidate was talking, was talking without being her trustworthy Miacca. Aelloth exhaled another breath into the Candidate's face, slow and warning of her displeasure about him breaking into the

Tam shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. I'd rather hang with you though." The comment could be viewed as clueless. Tamalak never really thought about girls. He wasn't attracted to any. But he wasn't attracted

Asheran had made it onto the Sands. He had pushed his way to the center of the group as best he could, keeping his head down, throwing conspiratorially glances toward Lerian, Ronhim and Luicion, who

After M’gal left, Kassia was left with her own thoughts again. She kept replaying the images that the dragons had shared with her in her head. Somehow the whole thing felt surreal because she

Trying to listen to the one-sided (to him) conversation while in pain and still terrified was hard, oh so hard. But at least he was no longer being clawed at, even if the green hadn't fully let go of

Isirdux whimpered as the claws found the hem of his robe and pulled down, sinking into his leg at the same time. 'Don't kick!' he thought. 'Don't do something to set her off!' But oh, it was hard

The Hatching seemed to dragon on for an eternity, though really no inordinate amount of time had passed. Calyse stood among the other girls, turning to watch as a few splintered off to join new

Getting Basilith to the wallows after feeding time had been an ordeal. The willful blue had wanted nothing more than to plop down asleep where he was after eating and Rennitz had to work hard to

At the movement, Aelloth jerked her head back, more surprised over it being the upper portion that had moved. {{You won't get away from me, you...you wrongdoer!}} She stretched her claws out once

(( Keep away! )) Dardueth shrieked at her brother, throwing herself down to the sand even as he lunged towards her. (( The creature is mine! )) With a guttural hiss of noise, the green flailed and as
