Tayika stared down at her cream hatchling. His name was Mmnommith. "Quite a mouthful to be sure, Mmnommith." Tayika said with a smile. The cream only nudged her in response as her friend came running out the sands.
      "The hatchling that ran into the corner was a black! And she had four wings! And she Impressed to the Bronze! I got photos of everything! I can't belive it! This was a green's clutch...and she had such strange hatchling colors! Isn't that strange? No offense or anything. So, what's her name?" Alema asked excitedly.
      "This is Mmnommith, and Mmnommith is a male." Tayika replied. "Let's go develop the pictures! I want to see everything!"
      "Aren't you going to feed-"
      "He already ate."
      What are pictures? Are they eddible? Tayika laughed at Mmnommith's statement.
      "Pictures are things you look at, Mmnommith. Quit thinking about your stomach, love."
      But I can't help it! They only give us so much. And I am still hungry. Mmnommith complained. Tayika laughed and shook her head.
      "You can have some more food later. I'm not supposed to let you overeat, you know." Tayika said.

      They finished developing the pictures several hours later. Alema had taken several pictures of Mmnommith and her Impression, as well as one of a green that had Impressed to a guy named Tamanjul. T'jul, now that he had Impressed. He had been a Lord Holder's son, from what Tayika had heard. And he had Impressed from the stands. He was very handsome indeed.
      Tayika looked through the rest of the pictures until she came to the one with the black with four wings. She was so gorgeous! Different, but so gorgeous. "They're beautiful. You did such an excellent job, Alema!" Tayika exclaimed, thumbing through the pictures once more. She kept the ones of her and Mmnommith and then handed out the pictures of everyone else to the proper new dragonriders. She kept the ones with the two dragons that had Impressed. She didn't know what else to do with them, seeing as the dragons couldn't hold them or look at them.
      She finally decided to put them in the records so future passes could come to the past if they wanted to, to see the hatching all over again. She would like to do that as well, but since she had been there and Impressed, that wasn't possible. Chancing a run-in with yourself was highly dangerous.

      The next day, they began Weyrling training with the Weyrlingmaster and his dragon. Poor Mmnommith was sore in his wings at the end of the day. All of the hatchlings had been made to stretch, flap their wings, swim, and a bunch of other things while the new riders had to do their own excersizes, which had been very exhausting.
      Tayika plopped down on her bed and Mmnommith plopped down next to her. My wings are so sore. Mmnommith complained.
      "My stomach and legs and arms are sore." Tayika commented. "But the pain will go away after a few days. Our muscles will become stronger." Tayika said, smiling...and then she fell asleep, Mmnommith also faling asleep only a moment after she did.
