She thought for a moment that she might lose her footing.
Maria could hear murmurs of disbelief from some of those assembled but paid it no serious attention. She was drawn to look at the crooning little green that had emerged from its shell and had tried its new wings-still soft. Those little dragonets always used up their yolks just to have strength enough to emerge.
This little green was a pretty one. Like an emerald in full sun, its green hide glowed. Yes, she was powerfully hungry.
Maria crouched down to look closer at the dragonet. It ambled for her, faceted eyes whirling with the hue of hunger..
She shook as the eyes met hers.
CASSANTH
Maria knew the name and breathed the name softly. It was followed by a smile that had not come to her features in quite a while. Her own stomach rumbled in sympathy to her little dragonet's plight.
'I am Cassanth. Could you take me to where there is food? I am most hungry.'
Maria beckoned her new friend/life towards her with her hand. The sand was so hot now. "Come now. Let us both be off this sand. My feet are burning too."
Oblivious to Annaleia's disbelieving gaze, Maria finally touched Cassanth's head gently -such soft skin- then rose, to accompany the dragonet off the sand.
Rentha was beaming and Maranth bugled. Not too loud but enough to voice approval.
Maria smiled at Rentha and the Weyrwoman who had given her nudges to dare, in their own ways.
"Her name is Cassanth."
Together, the weyrlings left the Hatching Grounds of Ista in search of wherry.
