With a wide grin, Garein gave the thumbs up to his best friend. Wyntyr � W�ntyr, now � had just Impressed a bronze, and he returned the gesture as he took Garneth out of the Hatching Ground. W�ntyr�s mother, Weyrwoman Rinali, watched with pride as her son took out his little dragon, and caught Garein�s eye. The two got on remarkably well.
There weren�t many other eggs left on the sand. Only about eight, and there were no bronzes left � you could tell from the size and colour. Only blues, greens, and the odd brown. Not that Garein had a chance of Impressing a bronze anyway. The fifteen-year-old fidgeted. He had never been one for staying still for any length of time. He preferred to be moving.
With a sudden crack that made all heads turn, two eggs broke simultaneously. A blue and a green eyed each other for a moment, and then parted, the blue finding his rider in a boy to the other side of the Hatching Ground.
Garein!
A voice called to him. A regal, female voice. He looked around, and his eyes were caught by the now-blue ones of the green that had hatched. You what? He was puzzled.
You are G�rein now. And I am Grenith!
The boy stared at the dragon, and she stepped towards him and butted his chest. �Grenith? But ��
Shush. What is wrong? She was reproachful. I thought you liked me!
He couldn�t resist her. He reached out one hand to scratch one still-damp eye ridge. �I do, sweetheart! I just�wasn�t expecting you, that�s all.�
Well, if that is all that is wrong�I am hungry!
He laughed. They were going to get on well together. He had no qualms about Impressing a green. He was Weyrbred, after all, and used to it. His uncle had Impressed a green.
�Come on then, Grenith. Let�s get some food!�
