K'sedel

K'sedel

Im're stood in a line with rest of his weyrlingclass and felt extremely
proud. He was graduating! His weyrlinghood was past. It had went smoothing,
only with few small incidents, like Gormth stepping on his foot and drawing
blood. Blooding had gone well too, they came back without a scratch. It had
been frightening and exhilarating experience. He felt much more confident
after it. He was listening the speeches and getting impatient. He wanted to
know which wing he would go.

The traditional words were uttered by the Wingleaders as they and K'sedel
made their way through the graduating class. One by one, the youngsters
were tapped on the shoulder and the words 'The Weyrleader has allowed me to
fly with you' uttered. The youngsters had expressions of delight on their
faces, realising that they were at last to be full dragon riders. K'sedel
however, modified the words slightly being in the role of Weyrleader
himself.

"I would be honoured to fly with you," he told a young lad with the knots of
a brownrider, and held his hand out to shake that of the lad.
"Thank you Sir, Thanuneth and I will do our best for the Weyr and Pern,"
came the response.
Next stood a young bluerider. "I would be honoured to fly with you," K'sedel
said formally.

"Really?" Im're nearly squalled with surprise, "I mean, I'm honored too and
Gormth and I will do our best for Weyr and Pern," he stammered i bit. A
weyrleader's wing, he was awed. He didn't think he had done that well in his
weyrlingtraining. He hadn't been bad either, just...average. He and Gormth
were good at the things blue-pairs usually were good at.

"I'm sure that you two will be an asset to the wings once you've settled
in."

"Thank you, sir," Im're said, humbled and proud at the same time.

"You're welcome lad."

Im're was grinning like a feline that just ate the wherry. ** Weyrleader's
wing, did you hear, Gormth?**

}: Of course I did, {: The blue was taking it more calmly than his rider. He
seemed to think that it was just a wing like any other.

** Do you realize what honour it is?** Im're asked. He was bit miffled by
his dragon's indifferent attitude.

}: Yes, so what? :{

Nikornath had been looking in on some of the younger dragons joining the
wings at this time. }:Congratulations,:{ he told them. }:We will all fly
well together.:{

}: Yes, we will,:{ Gormth was full of selfconfidence, young dragon who have
faith on his own abilities and who had no idea of his own vunerability.

}:And you will try hard in drills?:{

}: Of course. I'm good at drills, I like them :{ Gormth replied and fanned
his wings in his euthiasm.

}:The we will see you there. Make sure you and yours rest well, so you
really can do your best.:{

}: I will, :{ Gormth promised.
