A/N - I'm sooo, so sorry for not uploading this sooner! Life has been getting the better of me and I've had no time for fanfiction. I've also tried NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the first time and actually did it! I wrote 50,000 words in one month! So I'm coming back to this and a few other stories in the hopes of reviving them and finishing them. Enjoy the long awaited chapter!

"Are you sure this is okay? I mean Angel doesn't NEED to meet a real-live dragon after all." I asked, and Angel looked at me sadly. We were walking down a long hall, which I think was the same one I came through before.

"Of course its okay, in fact, I insist! After all, if you want to learn about the Pernese way of life, you must start somewhere, and what better place to begin than with the dragons." I sighed, knowing it was pointless. Angel was going to get her way this time whether I liked it or not. Curse her awesome mind-reading powers!

At some point, F'nor left us and turned town a different hallway. We turned a corner and came to a ledge, which I had no trouble recognizing it as the one we came in from before. As we all crowded together on the ledge, F'lar held up his finger. He then had that weird blank look on his face that he had had before. When he came back to planet Earth – excuse me, Pern – he smiled.

"Here he comes now, kids." I looked up into the sky, and to my shock, there was the dragon Mnementh. As he landed on the ledge not thirty paces in front of us, I just stood there in shock.

It was a dragon alright, there was no mistaking that fact. He had the wings, claws, and all the regular features that a dragon should have. And he was HUGE. And when I say huge, I mean as big as a house if not bigger. His head alone was enormous, bigger than anything I could compare it to. His feet and claws alone could trap a human between them like a cage.

Even close up he was intimidating, but that didn't phase Angel one bit. She just walked right up to the giant beast, who lowered his great head to get a better look. Angel was no bigger than the beast's paws and yet the creature showed no intention of harming her. I could tell that she was enjoying it immensely.

"Max,"said Angel, "Mnementh wants you to come closer. He says won't hurt you."

"Wait, how in the golden egg did she know that?" F'lar asked. I guess it finally registered that a five year old was talking to one of his dragons.

"Oh yeah, Angel here can read minds just like your dragons." F'lar's face turned as pale and as white as a ghost.

"She can...what?" F'lar asked incredulously.

"Yeah, she's telepathic like the dragons are." I replied.

"Well..." F''lar tried to say something but couldn't find the words. "Say, why don't you go up and take a closer look at Mnementh?"

I gulped my fear and cautiously approached the dragon. I touched his hide, which was surprisingly soft like a leather or suede. It also smelled like a mix of spices, which was really weird but also really cool.

"Dragon's like their eye ridges scratched." F'lar remarked. As I proceeded to rub Mnementh's ridges, a low sound of pleasure rumbled from his throat and his eyes began to glow a bluish-green. That was the most astonishing thing about him: the eyes. There were many different facets like a spider's eyes, and they somehow changed colors and shown beautiful swirls. I wished that Fang was awake and able to see this.

"What do you think, Max?" Lessa asked smiling.

"He's amazing. I've never seen anything so... wonderful." The dragon rumbled and the noise made the ground vibrate.

"He thanks you for the compliment, Max." said F'lar.

"Iggy, you've got to come over here." I turned around and noticed Iggy standing there, his head leaning towards the ground and his body propped against the wall.

"No thanks, Max. You kinda have to have eyes to SEE a dragon..."

"Nonsense, Iggy. You have to feel his hide!" I grabbed his hand and, after dragging him to Mnementh's side, placed it on the dragon's head. Iggy's face lit up at the softness underneath his hand. His soft gentle fingers began to stoke the head, moving towards the side and eventually reaching the nostrils. This was Iggy's way of "seeing" the features of the dragon. While he didn't fuss at all, Mnementh sent a message to his rider voices his concerns; he wasn't quite sure what was going on

"No need to worry, Mnementh," F'lar assured him, "this young man is blind. He cannot see and his just trying to get a mental picture of what you look like, just like you do when you go between." As the dragon sent a response back to his human, F'lar laughed heartily.

"This is, just..." said Iggy, trying to find the words. "...there aren't any words to describe how I feel. You are a wonderful creature, Mnementh." The dragon rumbled with pleasure.

"He's one of the biggest dragons in the wyer, kids." said Lessa, finally speaking up.

"You mean there's one bigger?" Gazzy asked wide eyed. I thought he eyes would fall out of his head they were so wide.

"Oh yes, Mnementh's mate Ramoth is even bigger!" Lessa replied smiling. Gazzy got that grin on his face and looked just like a kid in a candy store.

"Can we see her, too?"

"Sorry, Gazzy, Ramoth is off limits right now." said F'lar. "She's close to hatching and should not be disturbed right now. If you try to get anywhere near her eggs, you will be in for a big surprise." Before Gazzy could even think about arguing that point (and trust me, he was about to), another figure emerged from the entrance.

"Why, F'lar, you didn't tell me we had guests!" The man was a bit wrinkled with age but was tall and held the biggest smile on his face." F'lar obviously knew the man and greeted him accordingly.

"Ah, yes, of course! I've told F'nor to send for you." he turned to us, "Kids, I'd like you to meet my good friend Robinton."
