Koelinion

Stats

Koelinion walked down the halls of Andromeda Weyr shaking with effort to hold up the healing books he was carrying. By the egg of Faranth were they heavy! But he needed them for studying, he wasn't about to let being a dragon candidate get in the way of his studies as a healer. If he Impressed a dragon of Sevith's clutch he would need them incase he or his dragon got injured while fighting Thread.

Not like he'd ever Impress a dragon...he seemed to be quite the bookworm, and everybody knew it. Although, the dragons obviously didn't care for brown Dharanth had chosen the boy to be a candidate for the white's clutch. It was quite an honor for a quiet, loner of a bookworm among so many others who seemed to be far better choices.

When Koelinion had asked the brown's rider, R'tek, why he had been picked the brownrider had just shrugged and replied, "Dunno, but dragons know best about these things!"

Koelinion was somewhat sorrowful as he said good bye to his parents, siblings, and friends but they had reassured him by saying they would be at the Hatching and would visit him often. Koelinion had thought about these things as the brown had carried him off to a new life at Andromeda Weyr.
_________________________________
He had never stopped thinking about his leaving, either... He felt more alone than he could possibly have imagined before he had left to become a dragon candidate... But he knew a dragon would change all that, forever. If he Impressed he would never be alone again, but always a half of the same whole.

"Boy! Hurry up and get to your weyr! The eggs are hatching!" yelled a drudge as she scuttled past on her way to warn the other candidates. The boy jumped, startled, dropping all his books. Quickly, he bent down and began to gather them but was shoved roughly towards his weyr by the drudge. "Forget about the books! They can wait, y'dun wanna miss Impression do ya!?"

"N-no ma'am!" yiped Koelinion as he dashed off towards his weyr to don his white Hatching robe. It was a tight fit but Koelinion endured it as he raced to the brown Dharanth's side and was swung onto the dragon's back by R'tek who quickly mounted behind him.

With a loud bugle Dharanth launched himself from the ground with powerful hindlegs and blinked between. Koelinion shivered at the cold, wearing only his ceremonial robe and boots but it was over quickly enough and the heat of the Hatching Grounds hit him in the face, making him gasp at the sudden change of temperature. Dharanth spiraled down to land smoothly on the hot sands below.
_________________________________
Dharanth stooped to let the boy off, who actually fell off and landed in the hot sands with a thud. Oh! But undaunted was he! Quickly the boy stood up and grinned after the huge brown who was now taking his place on the ledges.... The boy's back turned to the eggs.
