Subject: HUNGRY

An echoing scream shatters the still night and stirs up the herds of wherries and heardbeasts. Bronze wings bore violently down from the blackness of the upper weyrs, carrying with them a gaunt and very hungry dragon! Whoth cries out again, throat rasping with his need for nutrition, before scattering the wherries. He descends upon the largest one, hind talons sinking into its fatty back and crushing it to the ground. It puts up a fight, picking at the dragon despite its broken body, before Whoth can suffocate it with his fanged maw. The bronze gorges, messily - which is quite rare for him - yet wastes not a single sliver of fat or skin or bone. Hunger not sated, he rises and takes down another wherry, as well as two heardbeast bucks before his belly is filled.

Whoth tilts his head back, bloody jaws stretching into a languid yawn. He takes ungraceful strides to the rainwater lake in the centre of the bowl, wading into it and thrashing to semi-clean himself before further doting by his rider. Lumbering back out again, the dragon alights from the shallows and back to his weyr.
