The Dragon Weyrs
KENDREW & RIDER ARON
You enter the weyr to see a large shining bronze dragon sleeping peacefully on a rock slab. He is breathing steadily, his belly inflating and deflating at he blows out tremendous gusts of air. His rider, smiling contentedly down at the large dragon does not even notice you when you enter. Only when you accidently crush a small pile of pebbles in the middle of the floor does he look up.
He gets up quickely and walks over to greet you, bowing formally. He is thin, skinny eeven, with a cap of sandy brown hair. He is dressed in warm robes and is weyring gloves against the chill the permiates the weyrs. "Hello, my name is Aron, rider of the bronze Kendrew. I'm sorry I didn't see you when you came in...I was caught up in thoughts. You see, I am so relieved right now that Kendrew is with me. He's been sick for a very long time. It started when he hatched...he was the last from his clutch. His egg was in a far corner of the sands, and much smaller than the others with a discolored grey shell...everyone thought it to be a dud...even me! But, as we all filed out, I upset because I was not impressed, and it was my last chance, Kendreww burst out of his little egg. I rushed over to him - he was so tiny - and impressed him right away. That's when I knew something was wrong. A baby dragon always asks for food when they are born for they are ravenously hungry from breaking through their tough shells. But Kendrew only screamed with pain. We though his wing or an arm may be broken because he was so little and weak, but he was hlding his stomach. He refsed to eat unless he was forced. This continued until only a month ago, when he began to eat regularly again! No one has any idea what sort of illness caused him such pain, but it wore me down. Six months I felt the pain right along with him through our band. I didn't sleep for days at a time because he could not. But now he is better. I can't even imagine what may have happen if I had lost him..." Aron's voice trails off and you know why. You know of the bond between a dragon and rider...and you also know what happens when that bond is severed.....
The large bronze shifts and awakens and Aron moves over to stroke him amd wake him up further. You use this chance to make your silent departure....
THE SCRAPBOOK!
 Kendrew as a weyrling! His sickness continued for most of his weyrling training, which severely effected his flying, but he recovered right before his first birthday when he was an adult at last! |
 Kendrew as a hatchling! He was sick even then and he's still no better! We were even more worried then because he was still so small and susceptible! |

 This is Kendrew as he Hatched! He was so much smaller than the others...we were all worried his egg would be a dud..but not little Kendrew! He lives up to his name, which means strength in the ancient tongue of the dragons! Read Kendrew's Hatching Story! |
