Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Everyone always told him how important dragons were and that they were to always be treated with respect. Growing up around them, it was easy to agree with and follow those lessons. It was a bit harder to understand the connection between dragon and rider before Impressing but since that wonderous night, A'tay fully realised how true it was that he would do practically anything for Xyxyth and his happiness and well-being was almost more important than his own.
Except when it came to swimming. Xyxyth was on his own for that. No matter how much the bronze begged him to join him and promised he would be safe, A'tay never went in deeper than his knees. The ocean was large and scary and thanks to bullies when he was little dunking him under the water, swimming didn't seem that appealing. Still, he couldn't take away the pleasure Xyxyth got from the activity and A'tay always agreed instantly to go to the beach.
He had been sitting in the sand just above the line of where the water sometimes reached with its lapping as Xyxyth splashed around in the shallow--for him-- water when a green spectacle zoomed by. A'tay was both captivated and horrified by the flying when he saw the rider strapped in. He trusted Xyxyth with his life but that didn't mean he wanted to add extra risks in his day! Still, he gawked and marvelled at the skill and fun that seemed to be happening and finally got up to greet the pair when they landed.
Of course he recognized their classmates as soon as Zellekath commanded his attention with her moves but A'tay still couldn't believe that it was them. Not only were they still weyrlings--with graduation almost upon them--but Eb'zer was a Healer! He wasn't weyrbred or even Searched. Where did he get that courage from?
A'tay's only form of courage right then came in the form of approaching the green pair with Xyxyth now on the land and trailing happily behind him. It was still weird talking to Eb'zer since the man was older and a Healer but they were classmates and he had always been kind to him.
"Hi, Eb'zer, hi Zellekath. That was some amazing flying! Weren't you scared or worried about balance?" A'tay was still a bit wide-eyed at what he had seen but his interest in it was also evident. "Pretty sure I would have been doing some unflattering screaming."
