Long Lost Friends

Normally, Ukrah would have had to wait until the next break to go visit Eist in her home, the woman no longer able to come to the academy and still keep her pregnancy under wraps, but she knew that the god-woman would kill her if she kept the latest addition to their family away from her for three whole days.

So she sought out Ale’a at the crack of dawn—after staying up all night just being with her little guy—and the dragon rider went to the headmaster to get Ukrah the day off. But not before cooing and cuddling with her little guy. He really was a charmer.

“Huh, you and Eist really are alike,” the dragon rider had said.

“What do you mean?”

“No one knew what her dragon was when he came out, and I have to say that I have no idea what this guy is either.”

That conversation had lingered in her mind the entire way to Eist’s manor, and it was only affirmed as the god-woman marveled at what he could be. Athar mused as well, telling them that Dille would love to see it.

The whole day had been a whirlwind from that point, with Ukrah having to fight for the chance to hold her own dragon. Of course, everyone asked for little guy’s name, but she wasn’t sure yet. She felt like it would come to her, but even as the hours passed, it was still blank.

Naturally, there was plenty of kerfuffle at school. Melithindre made some snide comments about more special treatment, but most people just wanted to fawn over little guy.

And he loved it. It seemed her baby dragon was quite the attention hog, hamming it up in front of students and nuzzling anyone who had a treat. It was hard not to be jealous of him loving up on everyone, but she had to remind herself that there was a line between being fiercely protective and overbearing.

It was a whirlwind of activity, and very abruptly, Ukrah was no longer the pariah of the academy. The strange brown girl from the wild lands who needed a translator and hauled a large egg around turned into the charge of the W’allenhauses with a new mystery dragon.

However, it was a bit much, and sometimes, she hid herself in her room so she wouldn’t be swarmed. And thankfully, when she was in the halls, she always had Crispin, who worked hard to run diversions for her whenever he saw her being a bit overwhelmed.

It took about a week for it to die down, and Ukrah was relieved when it did. She liked the improved attitude, but she could do without all the eyes, the questions, and the healers demanding to examine her little guy every way possible from tip to tail.

“You know, he’s going to be thirteen days old tomorrow,” Crispin said as they sat at a cafeteria table. They hadn’t been able to eat in the room considering all the hubbub around the hatching of the little guy, and it was their first time back.
