Subject: the hatching sands

A tall boy of 17 turns strides out onto the sands. White robes swirl around his fit form. He slows to a halt and stares around at the crowd, the the clutch, and the canidates...
Hmm...not very many people here...yet.
He slowly inspected everyone, comparing his chances to those of the other hopeful kids, with his dark eyes dancing...
As he looked out onto the crowd he saw a young boy hugging his father and Slyth's coal black eyes misted over slowly drifting into memories...
"Father..." the young Slyth asked.
"Yes.." a kind looking man turned to his son.
"What am I to be when I grow up... I don't want to be a merchant."
"Now,you don't knoww that for sure right now," the father said, "You are too young to understand the beauty of being a merchant!"
"But I KNOW what I wantto be..." the boy persited, "I..," Slyth faltered for he saw that his fathers kind face had turned harsh, "I wnat to be a dragon rider!"
Slyth finish his sentence with his coal black eyes burning into his fathers.
He had been whipped for being so 'insolent' as his father had said. That day onhe never forgot his dream even though he kept it to himself, but he sworeonce he was old enough he would leave and go to fufill it... HE WAS GOING TO IMPRESS A DRAGON!!
