It was dark, so dark and so cramped. He was so hungry, starving. He had already used all his reserves. He needed to get out, find food. Find _him_, the mind that called his. He pressed his back against the walls that confined him. It made his whole world, dark and cramped world, to rock. He could hear them, hundreds, even thousands voices, humming, encouraging. He pushed harder and struck his head against the wall. There was cracking sound. He could see light shining from a tiny crack in the shell. This energized him to try even harder. Suddenly his prison split in two and he found himself tumbling head over heels to hot sands. He cried for help. The sound around him rose to a thunder; the light hurt his eyes that never seen but darkness before.
}: Where are you? I'm so hungry! :{, he called while trying to sort out his limbs. There seemed to be so many of them! Which was which part of him? A figure approached him, a funny looking figure striding unerringly to him, responding to his piteous calls. He looked like thin stick with a ball attached at the top and had too few limbs. But he was _his_, his.
his. rider?
}: I'm Kedvencth, and you must feed me! :{ "His name is Kedvencth!", Naemor, who from now on would be called N'mor, announced and crouched to help the bronze dragonet to right himself up.
The hatchling butted him and crooned hungrily when they together sorted out which limb when where.
N'mor couldn't believe his luck. A bronze! And the first one to hatch too!
"Shards, you _are_ starving, aren't you?" N'mor remarked. He started to guide the dragonet towards where the Weyrling wing's staff waited with the meat. They also needed to get out of the way. Dragonets were hatching all around them.

}: Yes. Is there long way yet? :{ Kedvencth asked.

** No, just about to arrive there,** N'mor didn't even realize he had slipped into the silent mental talk with his newly hatched life-mate. Ember flew in and landed on N'mor's shoulder. The firelizard studied the bronze dragonet curiously.

}: What is that? He looks like me but is so small :{ Ked wondered.

"This is Ember, he is a firelizard, which is kind of miniature dragon. But he's brown and you are bronze," N'mor replied.

}: Hello Ember. Do you have food for me? :{ the dragonet asked hopefully.
The firelizard just hummed, and N'mor chuckled. They got off from the hatching grounds and N'mor snatched a bowl of meat with hurried thank you for the staff member.
Then he was throwing meat scraps to Kedvencth's waiting jaw. Ember also snatched few for himself and flew off. N'mor watched Kedvencth, _his dragon_ devour the meat like bottomless pit and felt his chest swelling with pride and tenderness.
