I DO: Own the characters who are obviously mine


Chapter two: The Egg

I ran a hand through my brown hair as I stared at the growing whole. The calls of the golden dragonet growing in increasing frequency as it began to crawl out of the egg. It screamed in fury as I was the first one it saw. Confusion swirling in her multifaceted eyes as she lunged for me. I ducked out of the way and scrambled out of the way. Thinking it best to go to a quiet corner and wait out the impressing I navigated my way carefully to the back, where I only saw one small egg. I huffed and sat down next to the egg, "Guess we're together little one." I murmured as I stroked the egg softly.

I jumped a little as a response came to me from inside the egg. Mine, I'm not ready to hatch yet the response came, You will have to wait.

"How long?" I asked.

I do not know mine. But you will have to wait!

"Okay, I'll wait little one." I murmured as I leaned against the wall to look at the small egg. It was white, with small flecks of gold speckled about it. I jolted awake some time later, not realizing that I had begun to lightly doze.

"Ah, Glad to see that your awake." The woman in front of me said with a relieved sigh, "All the other candidates just left. Whether they have impressed or not." She looked down at me and then to the egg I still sat beside, "It happens every now and again that an egg doesn't hatch. There's no use staying, It's just going to rot."

"I'm sorry ma'am I can't." I stated as I stroked the egg, "The one inside told me that I couldn't, that I had to wait." I smiled softly down at the egg. The woman sighed and ran a hand through her black hair.

"I see," She murmured, "I will get you some Klah and food if you would like."

I breathed a sigh of relief, "That would be nice. I'm Courtney by the way."

"Rayne," She murmured, "I'm one of the two, well now three, weyrwomen." I nodded, that would make sense. "This is my gold Renegath's second clutch." She nodded in the direction of a large golden dragon, staring on at us as we talked. In a few moments a drudge brought in a steaming cup of klah and some food. I murmured my thanks as I lightly began to sip at the klah. "Well, I'd better be off, the feast will start soon. I'll arrange for food to be brought to you here." Rayne said as she stood up, "It was nice meeting you Courtney." I nodded in agreement as I leaned back against the wall, realizing how late it had gotten.

I jolted awake the next morning by a drudge bringing in a plate and cup. I shifted against the wall and pulled myself up into a standing position as I picked up the cup. I lightly paced a short length by the speckled egg to stretch my legs, making sure not to wonder to far away. After nursing the cup for a few minutes I set it down and began to eat, that was until I heard I shuffle as someone entered.

"Oh," The black haired young man, who I would say was a year or two older than me, said as he looked at me with startled hazel eyes, "I didn't think anyone was in here."

"It's fine," I said with a roll of my eyes as I set my now empty plate down and leaned against the wall, bending slightly so I could stroke my egg. I saw his eyes trail down the length of my body, causing me to blush slightly, and then down to the egg.

"Why are you staying?" The young man asked, slightly confused, "It's not going to-" He was cut off as I saw Rayne come to a stop in the doorway.

"There you are R'yon! I've been looking everywhere for you, The weyrlings are gathering outside. R'age is showing them how to oil the dragonets! You have to get going, your father wants your help."

Yes R'yon and I could use some more oiling. You missed a patch at the base of my tail. The voice that I assumed was his dragon's. Yes, my rider is R'yon. I am the bronze Beanonth. He answered my thoughts.

"Who are you talking to Beanonth?" R'yon asked as he looked from me to the egg and then up to the sky.

Why, the young miss in there. We dragons like her, we like her very much. R'yon looked at me confused. She can bespeak us if, she often does it without realizing it. I didn't realize that I did it without realizing it. Take this instant, She just thought that she didn't realize that she bespoke us without realizing it. I laughed quietly, but was cut off as my egg began to rock furiously. A tiny crack appeared and a dark beak poked out. The dragonet hummed as she made a larger hole in the egg. Soon my little dragonet crawled out of the egg with a quiet squawk as she shook off her wings and looked up at me. Her eyes whirled with happiness.

It is nice to finally meet you She said to me My name is Daihanath and you are mine!


~So this is the second chapter, and i'm thinking about maybe getting one of my friends to also edit these before I post them onto here. Two eyes seem like they would be better than one. Also school's about to be starting up again so that'll mean less time for writing and such, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with everything easily and still be able to at least post twice a month, maybe more? It all depends on how things play out. Reviews are always welcome, as is constructive critisim sense this is my first fanfic and I think it would help improve my writing~
