A’tay had been surprised when Mylorah asked him a week earlier if he would bring her along to the Hatching. He knew she didn’t want to accidentally Impress there like Cazan but her love for friends and Zoremet won out. Honestly, he had been surprised at how long she lasted before giving in. She really wasn’t the selfish sort and guilt would have destroyed her if their brother Impressed and she wasn’t there to see it.
Thankfully Xyxyth was large enough to support him and two passengers because of course he had already asked Zelana if she wanted to attend as well. She had yet to Stand or see a Hatching and he thought it would be nice for her to see how they went before being out there herself. When word came the Hatching was beginning but there was a snow storm in progress, A’tay hesitated. It was a risk he took if he didn’t know the weather at his aunt’s place but he had managed to avoid that happening so far. But he didn’t want to let anyone down and Xyxyth was supportive and confident they would be fine.
After making sure both women were dressed appropriately for the trip and weather, everyone was loaded up and Xyxyth took off. The instant they emerged above Fort Weyr left A’tay blind—though it was already past sunset so the blowing snow really didn’t make much of a difference to him. But the thunder that rumbled soon after that thought had them quickly going to ground. He had heard there could be lightning in the snow like there was with rain and A’tay didn’t want to be in the sky if that should happen.
Upon landing, A’tay sent Xyxyth and Shadow to watch up on the ledges, confident the dragon would keep the firelizard under control. A’tay shyly took Zelly’s hand to lead her up to the stands to a bench that had enough space for them and T’ryn and Cazan if they wanted to join them. He wasn’t sure if Mylorah would stay or find some friends but she sat beside him, eyes scanning the Candidates. She spotted their brother first and they both waved at him, letting him know they were there for him.
