Micheth is determined to fly just as well as Tinanath!


"He's flying! Look, Micheth!" Jailla had caught Ph'ton's excitement.

Micheth was ready to try, seeing his brother's success. He spread his wings and flapped them experimentally. Maybe Tinanath needed a dose of humility, He offered, then, looking at his rider. He'll do just fine, now. I will, too.

What was that? What was that? It didn't matter. It didn't matter. He'd do it this time. Say nothing, mine.

"I was going to say you gave it a good try. Try again?" Jailla grinned at her dragon's snort. "You'll get it this time." She watched as her blue spread his wings again. Would Tinanath stay airborne? Would Micheth join him?

Suwayeth is a motivated weyrling!

1. Woohoo! You made it! You're in the air and flying like a champion! Look at this! Are you seeing this? Are you seeing this!?!? Your dragon takes to the sky like a champion, flying high, and feeling free.


Suwayeth danced through the air - a vibrant dark and light green figure that seemed at ease in the air as a wherry. She let out a bugle, and dived down toward two of her male siblings, swooping above their heads, buffetting them with a quick burst of wind from her wings before she shot back up into the air to spiral effortlessly. Her long neck serpented from side-to-side as she stated down at them, laughing. Oh my, my brothers can't seem to make it up here very well. Maybe you're too thick in the skull for it? She let out a crooning noise that could definitely be felt as a challenge toward them.

Kieza shook her head, watching her dragon's antics. Suwayeth, pay attention! The wind can pull you off-balance and you'll crash down! Her mind sent muddled nervous emotions at her, and for a moment it seemed like Suwayeth would ignore her, but finally the dragon eased a thought at her rider. Aye, my beloved KiezaMine. I don't want to worry you, dearest. She crooned, and turned her form downward to land. But her eyes drifted toward her brothers, amused. Oh so amused...

Tinanath is still a very Motivated Little Derg!

8. What had been a glorious time up in the air has now resulted in you taking a bit of a tumble. Help!! Oh Faranth, you're not sure what happened, but you're now out of control and falling. Thankfully, one of the adult dragons has managed to catch you on their back, and is able to get you down to calm themselves and try again.

Tinanath watched his brother Micheth take off, a bit of jealousy tingeing the pride he felt. Micheth made it look so easy! He harrumphed as he flew, wings slicing through the air keeping him aloft. Well, he'd just have to outfly him then!

"Look, they're both flying!" Ph'ton crowed, bounding over to Jailla and picking her up off the ground in a huge hug. This was the most exciting thing he'd ever seen -- his dragon in the air! It would only be a matter of time before they'd both be soaring with ease.

A teasing tickled Tinanath's mind. Suwayeth! Sister mine, he mentally crooned back. I assure you, I can keep up with you easily! As if to emphasize this, the blue soared for a short stretch, waggling his wings before pursuing his sister. Distracted by the competition, he forgot to flap, and once more a stray gust of wind caught a wing, sending him tumbling toward the ground.

Tinanath squealed his indignation. NO!!!! He landed with a thud on the back of one of the dragons gathered to monitor the weyrlings' first flight.and was escorted gently groundward.

He was going to get his sister Suwayeth....

6. You decide to say to heck with it and try hard to stick the landing. You actually find yourself landing too hard, and find yourself in a tumble on the sound. Ouch! That hurt! Landings are going to take some practice and finesse.


Nearby minds would be ringing with Suwayeth's laughter, even as she landed with a sound whumph! on the sands, sliding a bit until she managed to slow herself enough to right her stance. At least she landed through her own means. Come on! You can do much better than that! She laughed, pinning her blue larger brother with green and blue swirling gaze. Now try again! She called, readying herself to try to get herself back up in the air.

Kieza tilted her head to the side, watching. It was rare when Suwayeth would interact with her siblings in a calm manner. Was it the challenging each other that brought out this side? She wasn't sure. But it was interesting to watch, and feel. Was that elation at the challenge?

Ph'ton's heart stopped as he watched his beloved tumble from the sky, only to be rescued by another dragon. He let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. That was too close!

Tinanath was determined that he wasn't going to be humiliated further by his sister. Grumbling and grunting, he rolled off the back of the rescue dragon and spread his wings in an attemtpt to land under his own power and retain some of his dignity. He tried to time his backwinging just so, but started too late and landed hard on his rump before tumbling to a stop. How embarrassing.

He felt Suwayeth's gaze on him and turned to face her. Oh, I'll try again, sister mine. His eyes were whirling orange in annoyance. And I'll show you who's the better flyer!

6. You manage to make it off the ground, but in your confidence, you didn't account for the shore breezes, and one of them throws you off-balance and back down on the ground. Ouch! Good thing the sand doesn't hurt...much.


Suwayeth toothily grinned at her brother before she spread her wings and leapt upward. At first, it seemed her movements had worked. However, a moment later, the wind changed direction and sent her back to the sands with a sound thud that knocked the breath from her. Oooh, her tail smarted a bit. That would would likely bruise a bit.

Kieza stopped herself from running over to Suwayeth, feeling the level of undiminished confidence and need to succeed that exuded from her. No. She trusted Suwayeth.

How rude. Micheth gave a snort of disbelief at his sister's crass behavior. He was absolutely unimpressed. Tinanath, pay her no heed. Look at me! The typically stoic blue was almost impressed with himself. This was fun! Look, he was flying. And he'd gotten up so much easier than his brother. Had Tinanath noticed? Had Tinanath's?

Do you see me, mine?

Jailla hugged Ph'ton, grinning. "They're both wonderful fliers!"

5. Your dragon manages to take off! They not only make it into the air, but they look to be a natural! They catch a thermal and rise high up! Yeee haw!

Tinanath watched Suwayeth try AND FAIL to take off again, and he grinned wickedly for such a young dragon. He looked up at his brother Micheth soaring and gliding with ease. You are doing very well indeed, brother mine! I shall join you! Breaking into a run, he leapt into the air and with a few sure flaps of his wings was airborne again. It seemed easier this time; maybe it was the challenge from his sister, maybe it was not wanting to be shown up by his brother. Whatever it was, Tinanath was flying and soaring like he'd been doing it forever!

Ph'ton remembered as he watched and listened to Tinanath that he was supposed to be controlling his dragon. Taking a determined breath, he thought steadying, calming thoughts. You're doing great! Have fun but keep your mind on your flying!

Suwayeth had been so engrossed in watching her dark blue brother that her second attempt to get airborne oncemore proved to be just as fruitful as the first. Sand flew everywhere around her as she met the sand again and she found herself gritting her teeth a little. Far be it from this stubborn green to give up! She pulled herself up, noting a little pain in one leg. At least being green would hide most bruises!

Oh, oh no! Something was wrong. Micheth had gone to soar and show off for his brother, but he'd caught a stronger gust than he'd expected and lost control. He struggled to keep in the air, but couldn't. He started to fall.

...Well. Maybe he'd needed a dose of humility himself. He was caught by a nearby adult dragon and lowered to the ground.

...Maybe we can fly together this time, he offered, in a small voice.

Tinanath is still a very Motivated Little Derg!

6. You wheel and dive, finding joy in the long dives, only to catch yourself at the last moment. You spread your wings, and turn the fall into a glide, trumpeting success despite Orioth bellowing a warning. Don't do anything stupid -- otherwise you could get hurt! Don't take needless risks!

This was more like it -- this was what he was born to do! Tinanath bugled with joy and pride as he soared and wheeled in the air. He felt the wind on his wings and was able to detect when it shifted, compensating his flying so that he didn't get knocked out of the sky again. His brother and sister were forgotten in the sheer elation of flight. Orioth scolded him to be careful, but he didn't care -- he knew what he was doing!

The look on Ph'ton's face went from concern to pride, and he bounced in place with as much joy as Tinanath was feeling. His baby was flying like a champion!

With a bugle, Suwayeth bounded forward and felt her wings push. And push. And then, no ground beneath her feet. Hah! She wasn't about to let a boy show her up. She shot up after Tinanath, ready to show him how it was really done!

After a few more spirals and twirls, Aleyath found himself perilously close to the ground. He didn't want to land, but he was pretty sure that if he didn't make the attempt, he would find himself down there in a few minutes anyway. He spread his wings with a squeak, announcing his imminent touchdown to O'len as he wiggled his way through the air.

It wasn't long before he was on his feet once more, rushing to meet his rider and the eye ridge rubs he knew he would be getting.

"Excellent job, kid," O'len said with a smile in his voice. "You're a natural."

Well... yeah. I've gotta be, don't I?

"Hm." He hadn't thought about it that way. "I guess so."

2. Easy as pie! Sort of. Average Dergs You're a bit wobbly as you come in for your descent, and wind up a little lopsided in your land. Thankfully, though, you catch yourself, and find yourself down on the ground with ease. Yay!
