"I still can't believe this," Michel thought while feeding his dragon.  
It had only been a few hours since the hatching, but Michel was still amazed.

  "Never would i have imagined myself a Dragonrider."

  He yawned, and looked down at Paranth.  The Dragon was already asleep, 
his multicolored scales glimmering in the soft light of the room.

  As Michel started to lie down, he glanced around the room, noting the 
others that were there.  

  Hedda, who looked as if she had been riding a while.  Michel thought 
they would probably make her a wing leader.  Possibly even of this wing.  

  And then there was the boy, David.  David, who had passed out right 
after joining.  Michel assumed there was money in David's family, but it 
was probably nothing big.

  Then as Michel looked around, he noticed a distinct air.  "Who is 
that?" he thought to himself.  He saw Paranth half open an eye, and heard..

*He is Reolden, joined to Trendal.  Now go to sleep!*

  'sorry, ' He thought back.  'Old habits die hard'

And he went to sleep.

 
*****************************************************************

The next day, they all received a summons to start their first day of 
training.  Michel half heard what M'ressan was saying, all about 
cleaning.  And then he started cleaning Paranth, getting several happy 
thoughts from his Dragon.  While playing around shortly after, Paranth 
knocked him a little too hard, and he flew off the ground a few feet.  

  Fortunately, he was able to roll with it, and turn it into a somersault.

"Now explain to me," he thougth, "Why it is I think you're smiling now?"

*I do not know.  I may well be, but you wouldn't be able to identify it*

"Such a vocabulary for a 1 day old," he shot back playfully.

*You have something on your mind.  Something you wanted to take care of.  
Carie?*

"Yes.  I will have to go speak to Aleta, or M'ressan about that.  Thank 
you.  So, how do you feel?"

*Much better.  Much cleaner.  Just think, in a few days we can fly.*

"I know, i can't wait.  So, what exactly are the limits on where we can fly?"


Respectfully Submitted,
   Michel Dragonrider
    AKA Chris Canary

NRPG:  Welp, he did take a short flight, didn't he?  *grin*

Susan:  I dont' remember the limits on where we can't fly...also, I need 
to run this talk of bringing Carie to the Warren...any thoughts?

Also, if everyone could write me  a quick one line message, I'm trying to 
find out who I'm receiving mail form, and who is getting mine..thanks.
