(DL) After the hatching....


	The name Kaylin'sha echoed through Davids head over and over as 
blackness overcame him.  The last feeling he had was of the warm hatching 
ground sand brushing against his face and Kaylin'sha sounding his name.
		*You are David*
	When David fell into unconciousness, the dragon's voices in his head
ceased.  Yet a residue was left behind, a doorway of sorts.  Now all 
dragons could talk with him, not just Kaylin, although his was the 
strongest...

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

	Ames watched as David held a hefty black and gray dragon from the 
ground and call out his name.  Kaylin'sha.  That was a good name.  Proud, Ames 
beamed a smile at Christalla.  This would surely secure the merger between the 
Guild and Warren.  Christalla smiled back, nodding. 
	Looking back, Ames noticed David stagger and clentch his head.  
His face was full of pain, and after kneeling on the ground, David 
collapsed onto the sand.  "What te' hell?" Ames said and rushed down to 
the lower level as attendants ran out to gather David's limp body.  
	As David was lifted, Ames was reassured that he was going to be all 
right by one of the DragonRiders, and that he could see David in the 
infirmary later.  Giving a quick nod, Ames watched them take his son to 
get medical help.  "What coulda' happen'd ere'?" Ames thought as he saw 
Kaylin sitting on the sand looking very confused as David was carried 
away. 
	He had David's eyes, and Ames bent down to look at him.  "My, ye be a 
fine fellow, ain't ye now?" He asked.  Kaylin tilted his head to the side 
and watched the strange man who looked vaguely like David.  Ames laughed 
and asked for some meat.  "Hey!  This ere' little one es' hungry."  As a 
Dragonfolk handed him a bucket of meat, Ames held a piece out to Kaylin.  
"Don't ye worry now.  David es a strong lad, 'ell be fine."  Kaylin 
chirped in reply, and took the meat, looking up for more.  "Ah there, not 
all at once." Ames stroked the small dragons scales, marveling at the 
complex shades of gray flecking an onyx body.  "Ye be a fine dragon, 
Kaylin." He said as Kaylin finished off the meat in the bucket.  He then 
chirped again and rolled over onto his back and Ames rubbed along his 
belly.
	Ames called out to a DragonRider nearby, "What d' I do with the 
little one since me son's been taken to yer medical rooms?"
