STORY
Peter saw the big blue dragon fly over and was instantly
on his feet. He raced toward the meadows at the edge of the village and
reached them after the dragon had landed and his rider had descended. A
dragonrider was always big news; Maybe he came with a message or there was
something happening in the Weyr. The last time a dragonrider had come, it
was to tell them of a flood and to warn them about debry coming down. That
message had saved a lot of lives and cattle.
But today, the dragonrider seemed to not have such a lofty purpose.
"Could you bring me to the local lord?" he asked.
More than a few of the youngsters were very willing and the dragonrider,
just a few years older than Peter was, soon found himself surrounded. He
followed the group to the largest building in the village and just as he
entered to deliver his message, he grinned and held up a few eggs.
"Anyone want to try to get a firelizard?" he asked.
He was rewarded by cheers and expecting eyes. The eggs were passed but
nothing much happened. After a while some of the children lost interest
and went to tell their parents of what they'd seen. But Peter could not
abandon hope yet. Maybe the eggs just needed a little more heat. When he
got his hands on one, he shoved it in his shirt, much to the dismay of one
of the others. They started pulling his shirt and Peter was, for a moment,
panicking that the egg would drop, when he suddenly felt sharp claws cling
to him.
"Ouch!" he yelled and then a small blue head poked up trying to see what
the fuss was about.
Iridescent eyes locked with his and then he was just really hungry.
The other youngsters knew they'd been beat and retreated, leaving Peter
alone to care for his new pet until the dragonrider came back outside.
"You're the lucky one, I see." he said, "Want to meet my dragon?"
Peter could not speak, only nod.
"Well come along. I think I might need to have a talk with your parents
too."
Could it be? Had he just been searched? A whole new world opened for
Peter, one he hadn't thought he'd ever know. But he would bravely follow
this route to his own adventure!
