of course to find an amazing (and rich) husband who'll care for her. So far she
hasn't had any luck.

HATCHING
"Candidates to the sands please. The eggs
are hatching." Saniyath’s call rang out to every receptive
mind in the weyr.
People rushed to the Hatching Cavern, but the first-time mom had been a little
bit off in judging when her offspring would hatch as by the time the first
people arrived, a bronze was already sitting in the remains of his shell. Dazed
though, the hatchling seemed to be taking his time as candidates and spectators
hastily filed in. The first hatched bronze suddenly bugled a high-pitched
challenge and turned, pouncing on his mother's flicking tail. His dam gently shook
him off, using her nose and one paw to turn him around and nudge him in the
direction he should be going in. Still, the bronze took his merry time to bond
one of the candidates.
The next three eggs hatched all at once, a blue, a green and a red. The blue and
green stared at each other, but then move into different directions. With quiet
care, the green walked, seeking just the right person, the one who needed her
most. That need she found in Ipomoea.
“There you are my dear. I am Miraluth. Come along now
and we’ll find something to eat. Then I think somewhere comfortable for a nap
will be in order”

YOUTH
Time trickled by slowly but it seemed to fly for Ipomoea as she cared for
Miraluth and was taught what she needed to do while doing chores. Ipomoea was
horrified by some of the tasks they were expected to do. Luckily Yucca
volunteered often enough to take over the dirtiest of chores for which Ipomoea
was grateful but she had a hard time showing it. Miraluth however had showered
Yucca in praise, much to Ipomoea's embarrassment.
"Gratefulness should be shown and any reward to a
job well done gives one wings." Miraluth said wisely.
The aqua green dragoness with her large wings that shone like velvet lifted her
head, making it clear that her horns were growing. Ipomoea noted the flaky bits
where old skin was peeling off. Ipomoea might be many things, but she did care
for those close to her and she hastily rubbed some oil on the tender patches.
Miraluth sighed and said: "Thank you."

ADULT
Finally the day arrived when both Ipomoea and Yucca could take their
leave. They promised to return occasionally and to be ready to help should Dawn
Watch need them. But in all honesty, they did not expect to be needed. The Weyr
was bustling and the resident dragons were powerful and resourceful. But who
knew what the future would bring? For now though, the dragons would be more
needed on Khylar, to protect it and it's people from harmful influences of other
invaders.
Coroleth and Miraluth took off, their riders geared up and ready. They had
travelled between before. When they'd come to Dawn Watch and while practicing
the teleporting during training. But this time they would have to make it all
the way back home.
"Just think of home and keep that image strong in
your mind." Miraluth told the nervous Yucca.
"I'm with you." Coroleth added.
A quick chill, a blackness and then they were back home. The mountains stretched
before them, the fields below them almost the same as before. Ipomoea had opted
for an interval of three weeks to be certain they wouldn't get into trouble and
by the look of it, they had appeared just when they wanted. The dragons soared
through the sky and followed their riders' directions towards Tithonia's hut.
The structure seemed unchanged which was promising. Smoke drifted up from the
chimney and flowers bloomed from the windowsill.
Just as they were descending, a horrifying creature appeared. Snarling the crocodilian
with wings seemed to want to attack them.
Coroleth readied his fire breath, but Miraluth stepped in, overbearing as she
usually was. But then, she was usually right.
"It's okay." she said, "I
sense that this one is smarter than being evil."
"Evil can be smart." Coroleth
voiced his opinion, "And malicious."
Down below, Argemone appeared, warned by her dragon, Thleki. She signalled a
universal okay that she hoped the others had picked up from training and then
had Thleki make room so they could land.
"Welcome!" she said once they were on solid ground.
"Is Tithonia alright?" Yucca asked, "What about Laelia and
Tagetes?"
"Tithonia has gone to fetch the Chentuu. I've been here for about a week
now. No word from Tagetes nor Laelia." Argemone answered.
"Oh." Yucca said a bit disappointed, he'd hoped to see both his not-so
secret crush and the man he looked up to.
"Don't worry." Ipomoea said, channelling some of her dragon's wisdom,
"They probably will appear shortly. They're both careful people so they
might just take a bigger safety period to appear."
Argemone looked at the woman who'd previously been a lot more selfish, "You
grew up smart!" she couldn't help but joke and was rewarded by a glare.
