The Weyr

Kidnapped!!

      Overall, the weyr is friendly if others join and coexist with them peacefully. Usually there are no problems or conflicts; Kross is the leader, but May and Silver are also listened to and respected. Lady kind of just does whatever she wants, but she is May's granddaughter after all.Like two peas in a pod, those two are.

      Glay, Kross's eldest, was a far easier kit to care for. While she was not entirely obedient, she was not trying to run off the second no one was looking, or starting baby fight clubs. Nor did she harass innocent strangers by jumping on their faces. Glay could be a little murderous at times, but that was really her only major flaw.

      Little Lady was not shy at all when it came to introducing herself to newcomers. It got to the point that she was chosen by Kross to greet friendly seeming dragon-kin. The weyr only really had two ways of making friends- well, three if you considered forcefully adopting babies making friends. 

      The first method was to take a kit and bash it against the head of the potential friend repeatedly. This showed the stranger that the weyr trusted them not to harm the kit. That, or Kross just wanted to repeatedly bash strangers with his daughter for fun.

      The second way was usually used when there was a sub-adult or kit or pup present.Nothing screams friendship like young playing together. So, with this in mind, Kross would carry Lady up to the young and plop her down next to them. She would immediately being to spin in a tight circle.

      It seems that this'circle dance' is instinctual to many of the dragon-kin. Those that respond in turn with circles of their own are immediately regarded as friendly. More often that not, Lady will include a step dance that consisted simply of stepping side to side while swaying her head and tail.

      Seeing as Lady was the first friendly contact many had with the weyr, many of the dragon-kin were fond of her. Her amusing antics could get a chuckle from even Grandpa May and dragon-kin young were more than happy to join her in her games. An entertained Lady was easier for Silver and Kross to Care for. And with more adults fond of her, there were more eyes keeping an eye on the little naughty creature.

      A dancing,trilling kit is an adorable sight to see. Many adults will see Lady dancing and think back to their own time as a tiny bean. Some of the more mothering ones would begin to think of finding such a kit for themselves. Of course, not every kit is as practiced at the art of dance as the young of the weyr. Some might even covet the tiny little opal for themselves.

      To kidnap a kit from such a large weyr might seem like a difficult task. The majority of the weyr are experienced adult and the troublesome kits always had at least two pairs of eyes on them. On top of that, this particular weyr had tamed and named a sand worm.

      Kidnapping a kit from this weyr might look difficult or dangerous....but it actually happens often. And not only Lady: the beautiful Glay is a target as well. In fact any baby is a great target for kidnapping. A kit or pup will be too small to put up a struggle in the jaws of an adult and will look absolutely adorable the entire time, no matter how they might protest. Adult will fear harming their young, so while they may attack, the blasts of fire and plasma or bites will be next to harmless.

      Unless, of course,Pookie comes to the rescue.

      Bone, a newly grown up gray wyvern, had been eyeing Lady for some time. Not because she was endearing and adorable. No, he had something much more sinister in mind...

      Revenge!! He wanted revenge! He had met Lady once in her past life. She had been an adult then, noble, proud...and not at all different from how she was as a kit. The problem with adult Lady was that she...like to pickup kits and pups to play with them.

      See, adult Lady was just as much of a terror as kitten Lady. When Bone was just a hatchling he made the mistake of getting adopted by the weyr. And unfortunately for him, Lady was nearby. Lady's games with the kit sand pups were always based off of the things she had enjoyed as a kit. Things that other young did not enjoy. Things such as being dunked into the oasis from very high up in the air or being shaken side to side as if she were a yummy snack that Pookie had just caught.

      And now, here she was. Baby Lady, being presented to Bone by Kross, neither of them aware of the evil glint in the wyvern's eye. Kross plopped Lady down at Bone's feet and the opal kit began to spin and trill at him. Bone responded with his own rumbling friendly call and was swiftly accepted as friendly.

      Kross turned away as Lady continued to circle. The moment the male's back was turned,the wyvern snatched the kit into his mouth and leapt into the air.Silver, who had been watching closely from atop a nearby boulder,gave a cry of alarm and also took flight. Kross whirled around just in time to doge out of the way of one of the wyvern's wings. Lady squealed pathetically for help and Kross and Cena took tot he sky in response.

      Unconcerned, May glanced up from where he lay on his beloved rock. He watched the fun for awhile before he grew bored and began to harass an innocent passing beetle. The beetle rolled over onto it's back in surrender,but that did nothing to damper May's boredom. Silent also watched without worry; Kross, Silver, and Cena were more than enough to rescue Lady. No need for her to get involved.

      Kross blasted Bone's tail with a plasma shot, but the wyvern flicked the plasma off easily. Lady, finding herself completely unharmed, stopped her cries for help. She instead peered back at her parents and aunt chasing and blasting at the wyvern. Her tail wiggled excitedly and she began to cheer them on.

      Now Lady, you will suffer like I suffered! Do you remember what you did to me when I was little?

      The three adults behind Bone heard his thoughts and realized what his purpose was. Kross and Silver broke off the chase with a roll of their eyes and a snort. Bone would not hurt Lady. She deserved a bit of her own medicine.

      Noticing that she had been abandoned, Lady began to cry in misery once more.

      Chase us more!Mom, Daddy! Don't you love me? I'm being kidnapped!

      Cena, who had originally had her doubts about not rescuing the kit heard this and snorted. It appeared that this was all just another game for the lovely Lady. She turned and glided back to joint he others.

       Meanwhile, Bone had landed with Lady. He shook her to and fro violently until his head began to spin. Unfortunately for Bone...this was one of Lady's favorite games. When she showed not fear but rather enjoyment instead, Bone dropped her in disgust and slithered off dejectedly.Silver, who had been waiting invisibly for this exact moment, scooped Lady up before the kit could attempt a grand escape into the sands.
