A'dam and Shawath
You walk into a weyr so small,it is barely big enough to hold a human,much less a full grown dragon.It's also very messy.You search for the owner of this weyr.A young man,proabably about 15 Turns,enters.He has blondish brown hair cut short and worn messy and greeny blue eyes.He's of about medium height,not too short,not too tall.A brown firelizard perches on his arm.
He has on a black shirt and brownish-grayish pants that looked as if they were at one time whire."Sorry about the mess in here.It's kinda small,in case you didn't notice.But there's a door to the other room.That's Shawath's room,and I've been cleaning it,which is why my clothes are like this.I have to change before I go to the Lower Caverns to help cook.We're celebrating a Hatching that recently occured here.It was a small clutch,Jr.Queen Sapheth's first.By the way,I'm A'dam,formerly Aladam.I've Impressed a dragon recently from Jerdan Weyr.This is my flit,Raliendi,or Ral.I'm a baker's apprentice,so they really wanted me to help with the feast.Of course I agreed to,why I don't know.But I did and that's that.At least my friend Keiliana is helping.I'm sorry for talking so much.Why are you here?"he asks."I was coming around to visit the candidates.Who are your parents?"you ask him."My father is Alakeen,my mother is Damacina,but I know neither,I was fostered to a SeaHold early on.Not that I'm not glad.I was always better at helping the cook's then the others at the SeaHold.So then I was apprenticed to the Bakercraft.And I stayed an apprentice for four full Turns,til I was Searched.A dragon came by with a message for the head of the Hall and his dragon started roaring and ranting like you wouldn't believe.Then the rider came up to me and says,'You've been Searched.'Naturally I was disbelieving but when I got to the weyr the Weyrwoman says I'd make a good candidate,so here I am!"A'dam says."Not only that,but I've Impressed blue Shawath,and he's all I ever wanted in a dragon.Sure he may not be the biggest,but he's definitely mine and I'm his,"he says,smiling proudly."My sister Alicin has been Searched and is waiting to see if she Impresses.But anyway,wanna help me clean out the dragoncouch in the back room?"he asks hopefully.You start to shake your head,but the expression on his face is so pleading that you give in and help.After about an hour,his chore is finished and you know more about him."Hey,if you want you can read my journal to learn more about me and Ral.He's been mine for many a Turn,since I Turned 8.That's how old Alicin was when she got her blue one,Tinikal.Her weyr is that way,if you want to visit.Course,she's gotta do some cleaning too.Sure,her weyr may not be as big,but the dragon couch is bigger,cause queen's are bigger'n the biggest bronze on Pern.She may not Impress one,but she's got to have bigger room just in case,"he says."Well,I'd better go,bye,"you say,leaving.
