| | Candidate | *Current* | Stats | Sparkul Weyr | The blue Searchdragon had been truly correct in his prediction that Gutic would indeed Impress. The blue had known from the moment he burst his shell that older man on the sands was for him. Jeoneth couldn't of had anyone else of course.  But that seemed so long ago as G'tic watched his blue out on the ledge. Since the hatching, the blue had grown, but was still quite small for his color. That was ok with G'tic though. Small meant more manueverability and that meant better turns and faster speed. Ahh... speed. He'd have to resign from the runnercraft, but compared to running, flying had no problem coming out on top. The blue was a lithe fellow, small, quick, agile and fit his rider well. They often practice arial stunts and sometimes they shadow G'tic's younger siblings on their runs and enjoy showing off. G'tic's ego has much enlarged after Impressing- of course. The young man watched as his older sister was picked as candidate and then stood dumbfounded as a deep voice entered his head and bade him a hello. Hello young one. The cool voice stated and he immediately wondered who would be calling him a "young one," afterall, he did have a solid 24 turns. The voice immediately replied with a sort of mental laugh. I of course, am Ewinth, and yes, you are a young one, compared to my rider anyhow. 24 turns eh? Well, then, you'll just have to come with us. The voice said and he came to the realization that a rider and blue dragon were staring intently at him. The rider smiled at his blue and motioned for Gutic to walk up to him. Gutic made his way through the crowd and joined his other brothers and sisters already there. He wodnered why so many of them were chosen, but then, dragons were never wrong, were they?  He met the rider who had gestured to him, and said a cautious hello to the blue. The blue emrely dipped his wedge-shaped head lower and hudged the young man towards his rider.The rider informed him of when the departure would be and told him to hurry off to get his thing. The rider also handed him a piece of hide with a few choice questions on it for him to answer. Gutic took the hide with nimble fingers and tucked it carefully in his belt pocket, acting as if it were a precious message he usually did carry. After the darkskinned young man left, the blue privately confided to his hungry rider, Rider 'mine, that boy will do well I believe. It was easy to talk to him. Some of his siblings were harder to talk to though... We will definately have to make the Hatching to see this one. He has someting I just can't place. Gutic hurried back to his small weyr and collected his few items and went off to dinner, only to find his sister with the head Searcher. That was like ehr though, wasn't that... Something brought to mind the piece of hide he had been handed and he ran back to his weyr at top speed to make sure it had been packed. He threw aside his things and couldn't find the hide. Then he gingerly patted his belt and withdrew the uncompleted hide. He hurriedly filled it out to the best of his ability and refoloded it to fit into his belt pocket.
