Michel walked onto the hatching sands, his feet blistering slightly.  He 
had been standing around, as all the dragons came in and started standing 
around, eagerly awaiting the hatching.  Then, the hatching started.  
Michel had never seen such chaos.

  The first one he saw join was David, then there was a flurry of 
activity, with several dragons stumbling around.  While watching, he saw 
one start moving outdoors.

  "Hmmmm, wild," he thought.  But still, he heard nothing.  No voice, no 
thought, nothing.

  "Looks like i need to pay attention to who looks rich or not," he was 
thinking, when his eyes connected with a wildly multi-colored dragon, off 
to his left.  The dragon was Green, overall, with streaks and patterns of 
Gold and Brown.  It was one of the most beautiful things he had ever 
seen.  At that point, he heard..

  "Paranth"

  It had picked him!  Michel was amazed.  He was 24, had lived the 
streets as a thief most of his life, and was about to become a 
Dragonrider.  He was stunned, when he heard, faintly,

  "That is your past.  You have a new life now.  It matters not how much 
you have taken, but what you can do now.  This is the way things work."

  "I am Michel Lighthand, tho now i guess i might as well switch it to 
Michel Dragonrider."
 
  Michel surged forward, and cradled his new dragon, with whome he would 
be bound for the rest of his life.  He knew not what tomorrow would 
bring, nor how he would explain to Carie, but he was eager to move on now.
