The Weyr

Baby Fight Club

         A newly hatched kit or pup is, understandably, easy prey. It is not uncommon for hatchlings to be hunted down by other young or even by adults. They weyr does not condone such behavior and treasures young...with one exception. No matter their history-unless they have done major harm to the weyr-the weyr will happily raise most young.

     The most important is, of course, the wyer's own young. They protect their own fiercely and do not hesitate to seek vengeance. Therefore it is not unusual for the adults to encourage their young to practice hunting baby-killing hatchlings. And it is of no surprise that Lady is often the one who partakes in these activities.

     A purple fire dragon was seen nipping at Glay and Zureta who had just hatched. They weyr lost sight of it for awhile, but then Grandpa May noticed a fire dragon kit approach their kill. He gave a warning to the weyr and snuggled up against Grandma Rock. Lady, who was being taken to water by Kross, was immediately interested.

     Baby fight club! Daddy go back!

    There was ringing approval from the other members of the weyr, especially from Glay and Zureta. Kross hesitated for a moment before he turned back and promptly delivered Lady to the weyr's kill. She glanced around and swiftly spotted the intruder. With target in sight, Lady dashed forward and bit down hard on the unsuspecting kit.

     The fire dragon panicked and fled; the weyr had not shown any aggression to it before. Now it was suddenly attacked! Instead of helping, the adults simply watched on with interest.

     Lady tore viciously into the kit, tearing apart it's fragile wings, ripping off scales, and digging her sharp baby teeth into the flesh of the kit. Finally the kit turned to face Lady head on, but the little terror danced around it and bit down once more.

     Fire dragons are far stronger than the glass cannon plasmas. However a plasma with experience is a tricky opponent. Although this fire dragon kit could end Lady in a matter of two powerful bites, it could not land any actual attacks. The kit managed to hit Lady only once, but it seemed as if the little one was not affected at all!

     Lady, who was actually in a lot of pain, began to avoid facing the kit's head and did her best to stay behind it. She clamped down on it's tail, back, and legs. They darted under the adults, between boulders, and across the sands. The fire dragon was losing strength and blood quickly.

     Despite it's best efforts and superior strength, the kit swiftly met it's demise. Lady gurgled triumphantly and pranced around the adults, her tail held up proudly. Glay darted over and the two began to play wrestle. After awhile, Silver scooped up Lady to make sure she rested and recovered. Another fight had been won; Lady-3,enemy young-1.
