slight belly that betrays his love for good food and ale. Uraimo is young
still but acts older to gain some extra authority.

ruse and after 5 years of service left to find his fortune in the world. He
soon joined a crew and through skill and luck rose up the ranks and finally

realised he was not cut out for being a merchant. But he put his military
experience to good use and now they guard ships.

HATCHING
Sforzando let out a loud thrill that
instantly alerted the sea dragons of various breeds in the vicinity that
her clutch was hatching. Not too far away, Devin Sand had been scavenging.
Habits die hard and even though he had yet to find a treasure washed up on
the shore, he had been helping the locals with looking for flit eggs and
other general chores. He'd been put to work early on, as had the other
candidate Uraimo, who as a sailor also didn't have much practical use for
his profession. The red-haired sailor looked considerably larger than the
small orphan but being both new to the island they had spent a lot of time
together and often met up. So it was not surprising that Uraimo appeared
at the bay only moments after Devin.
"I'm not too late, right?" Uraimo asked, a little taken aback by how much
warning they'd gotten beforehand.
For a week now they'd been told that the eggs were close. But nothing had
been different about today.
"You're good." Devin reassured him.
Both men focused on the water. Lots of fins and snaky bodies disturbed the
surface but it was hard to know whether or not the eggs had hatched yet.
Suddenly though a little series of whistled bursts sounded and the sound
was taken over by Sforzando who looked mighty pleased.
The dam of the clutch did not posses telepathy but her hatchlings clearly
had inherited the power from their father as Uraimo heard a young voice:
"That's my name, but
you may call me Cesura or Cesath."
"I'll see what sticks." Uraimo nodded.
Around his legs, a grey shape circled, with fins the colour of the sand
below. It would be hard to keep track of this little one and something
told the sailor that Cesath would very much like to play hide and seek.

ADULT
The wind in his hair and the
water beneath felt like home. Uraimo pulled the ropes of the little sailboat
taut as his sails caught the wind. Right by the side of boat, Cesura
effortlessly cut through the water. At times her tail gave the boat a little
nudge, causing Uraimo to have to adjust. The sailor took it all in stride,
his dolkrat was after all still the playful and secretive entity that she'd
been at hatching. Though now full-grown she showed no signs of becoming more
sedate or cautious. Cesura threw herself with all she had, and if things
didn't work, she tried a different approach.
"Someone is calling me." Cesura suddenly
told him.
Uraimo strained his ears and mind but could hardy pick up anything. But
then, slowly, the high pitched thrills that were Cesura's Loch nexian name
grew stronger. A head popped up out of the water and Uraimo recognised one
of the older Loch nexians that lived around here.
"Want to go and play?" Uraimo asked?
"Yes." Cesura nodded,
"I'll see you later!"
"Have fun!"
