Maykith's stories

The Hatching

Kenja was fast asleep when a Rider from Mooncrest Weyr stumbled in. "Wake up! Don't miss this." and with those words he dugged up her candidate robe from the drawer were she had her clothes. Kenja (who barely was awake) finally started to realize what was happening. *THE HATCHING* Kenja jumped out from bed and took on the white robe. *Oh, it's too big. I knew I should have tried them on...* When she were at least dressed in the robe she ran out to the hallway. There she saw another candidate. "Wait for me!" she shouted and ran after her. She could hear(and feel) the humming of the dragons. Now she was almost at the sands. She had remebered her sandals at least that was something.

At the large chamber that contained the Hatching sands people were arriving all the time. Dragons had settled at the higher levels. The young boys and girls stood close to the eggs. There were one huge golden one and Kenja could also see a smaller egg, it wasn't very obvious but she could tell. As the candidates came nearer the eggs the little one started rocking. Kenja hoped with every nerv in her body that this would be her dragon, she couldn't even dream about the queen egg.
And just then a small crack opened in the shell. A tiny snout looked out. Kenja couldn't believe her eyes. *Was it white? No, it couldn't, or could it?* A head came out and yes, it was white indeed. The little white body worked out of its "prison". The blue eyes looked around as all the candidates held their breaths. Then the white dragon looked at Kenja and started to walk (crawl is maybe a more perfect expression) its way to her. Her speed and those short legs were no good combination, she tripped on her wings and landed right before Kenja. As she layed at her feet Kenja bended down and looked it in the eyes and she suddenly felt that she would never be alone again. ~I'm Maykith.~

"Maykith" Kenja said with tears in her eyes as her biggest and most secret dream came true. ~What's wrong? Don't you like me?~ "Off course I like you, I love you more that everything in the world!" ~Then why do you cry? Has something happened?~ the dragons voice echoed almost sad in her head. "The only thing that has happened is that my biggest dream came true and I'm so happy that I can't hold the tears away." ~Well, in that case I can ask you a question?~ "Of coarse! What is it?" ~Can we eat now?~ "Oh, yes we can." Kenja lead the hatchling to a small table were she had put a ball filled with meat that she started to stuff in the dragons mouth.

And that's how Kenja Impressed Maykith.

Weyrling

One day Maykith woke Kenja with a gentle push on the shoulder. ~Wake up! Wake up!~ "What is is Maykith? Is something wrong?" ~No, no. I've grown! I'm a lot bigger than yesterday!~ Kenja sits up in the stone bed and looks at her dear dragon.

Her white hide were shining as the snow on the mountain tops, and she was a lot bigger than the first time they met. "You're right..." ~Off course I'm right! I'm always right, remember?~ "Not always. Have you forgotten about when you believed Bernin could stay under water as long as you could?" Kenja said with a smile and she looked first at the brown fire-lizard at her cushion and at her Maykith. ~Everybody can be wrong sometimes... and he started breathing after a while...~ "So, Maykith, take it easy. That's forgiven. Well, I'm awake, you're a weyrling and Bernin's asleep. What shall we do?" ~Eating sounds good to me!~ "oh, Maykith...."

And that's how Maykith became a weyrling.
