G’ree jumped down from Aloth back, as the brown crutched he unloaded the bags that were tethered to the straps.
G’ree set down the bags and emptied them out into pills one of scrubbing brushes and one of bags of cleaning sand.
Then he walked back to Aloth getting the last bag and carefully carried this one and putting it down with the others and taking out the oil the weyrlings would need for their dragons as even after one day the dragons hide will have started to flack and itch.
G’ree let out a tired sight he had been up at the crack of dawn setting this up; the main thing had been digging the new pool for the weyrlings. Him and Aloth had been adding to it since finding out they were getting the position as it would be better than having them go into the lake, which would be to cold for the young dragons and need the ice cracking nearly every morning this small pool could be easily filled by the small trench that could let more water in and then be blocked up and easily emptied and best of all heated a bit…with some help of a fire breath.
“Ok Aloth lets get this pool heated” G’ree said taking the small bag of firestone that he had on his belt and pocket feeding it to brown.
[glow=orange,1,200] Aloth took the fire stone crunching it in his powerful jaws before swallowing, he had enjoyed helping his rider dig and G’ree had given him a nice bath.
The brown waited a few moment <<I need more if i am to make the fire breath you need>> Aloth said[/glow]
“Far enough” G’ree said popping the firestone into the browns mouth and then waiting.
He watched his dragon for the signal to say when he had a fire breath ready, they were going to have the water at a high temperature as in this area it would cool fast, but he had that sorted he had some flat smooth stones that he would get Aloth to heat up and then put them in to help keep the temperature warm. It was a good way to warm a bed heating them up and then wrapping them in cloth and putting them in the furs. He hoped it would work as good in water.
G’ree saw Aloth look like he was retching that was the signal “Ok over the water”
[glow=orange,1,200] Aloth turned his head over the pool and belching out a flame over the water. Steam rose in the dragons face and he first lidded his eyes and then fully to and then turned his head to wait another belch.[/glow]
The smell of charred grass and dirt filled the morning air... G’ree waved his hand to clear the air near him…he was going to catch it off R’reek. Well they needed free of the greenery anyway…”You alright?” the asked Aloth knowing it had took a bit explaining to the dragon what he was to do but he got it in the end.
[glow=orange,1,200] <<I am fine>> Aloth said letting out another belch over the water and it was now boiling [/glow]
“Ok good work… next fire breath flame over these stones…ok” G’ree said stamping out the few bits of smouldering grass.
[glow=orange,1,200] Then the next belch came but bigger than the last two and singed a good area [/glow]
“Wow…” G’ree ran grabbing the bucket and quickly put water over the fire.
He grabbed the spade and moved the stones into the water leaving a large burnt ring
“Ok both Kisa and R’reek are going to kill me” G’ree said not counting on this.
[glow=orange,1,200] <<It will grow back>> Aloth said as he flamed another smaller flame over the water to make it bubble again this was fun.[/glow]
G’ree raised an eye brow at his dragon “ha please tell that to Kisa and R’reek…come on lets get that ash out of you before the weyrlings get here” he said heading off with Aloth to the ash pit for him to cough up the ash.
A while later G’ree returned to wait of the new group of weyrlings and to start their first lesson

K’inzar walked down to the lake carrying a tin bath “Morga said to bring you this…” the smell of burning filled his nose.
“What have you been doing?” he asked seeing the burn marks and then the steaming pool of water

”Nothing...just went a bit over on the firestone.
It’ll grow back plus we’re not meant to have green here anyway” G’ree said the last thing he needed was for this joker to point this out to him.
Though the smell hung round a bit even in the open air.
“That the tin bath Morga said we could use?” he asked taking it from the blue rider he was going to get the smaller dragons to get bathed in this, using some of the heated water he already had.
“You know we have to get something made for the weyrling a small heated pool at least. Aloth had to break the ice this morning just to start the flow into that little pool we made”

”Over did it on the firestone” K’inzr looked around “Just a bit…weyrleaders are going to kill or ground you” K’inzar said but laughing.
“Yeah…she said i am to deliver a message… word for word…ahem…G’ree this tin bath is in good order and that is how i want it returned…if i find one dint in it and you will be having cold meals for a month” K’inzar said in a flat dull tone.
“Did you get that?”
“Yeah i think we could do with a heated pool…but we have been after on for 5-7 turn since this place started” K’inzar said knowing the ice was not going to be much fun.
Most likely when this lot could go between they would go to a different weyr to finish their training, only a real few stayed here

G’ree raised a eyebrow at K’inzar “Warning taken... i will talk to Kisa and R’reek, see what they saw...it would be a good project to get the weyrlings to do, get them use to hard work” G’ree said as he waited for the weyrlings to turn up. He wondered who he would be give an very sharp wake up to

------Barracks-------
L’card wake more to the discomfort of his chest he would have to get the numbweed on them. This reminded him he was to see the healer before his lesson’s started.
L’card listened to see if the weyr was awake and to judge the time from the smell of food it was well into the morning.
He tested the mind of Arkairyth.
Good the bronze was still sound asleep and that was the way L’card wanted him to stay. Slowly and carefully L’card got up he had gone to sleep with his shirt and trousers on, he grabbed his boots and crept out of the barracks, hopping he would get back before Arkairyth woke.
------Some time later-----
L’card returned to the barracks his chest seen to and with a hearty breakfast in him.
The smell of burnt green came into the barracks.
L’card rummaged in his belongings finding a perfumed candle he had won on a bet. He know they came in use full. He also found a small tinder box in his things and lit the candle, placing it some were to keep the smell of the burnt green from the nose of his bronze and the others.
L’card lay back on his bed he had been told there was time before the lesson started so he could get a bit more sleep.
He lay there he was not use to being able to go back to bed normally if you were up and awake in the hold you were given a job to do. There was not time for lazing around.

D’von rolled over the smell of breakfast and the candle reaching his nose.
He got up stretching, he had had a brilliant dream about him and his dragon.
Moving to the end of the bed just to check that Mastopeth was there.
He smiled, he like this odd blue with the green strip down his back, at leas he would be able to find him when he was sunning with the other dragons.
He looked up seeing L’card was a wake “Morning…you be awake long” he asked yawning.

L’card looked up hearing D’von up…he would rather it be M’ess or the girl who had been in the barracks with the blue, but he would talk to him better than lying here in silence.
“Yeah…been to see the healer and had breakfast….Sorry didn’t want to wake anyone in case i woke someone else up” He said pointing to the couch at the foot of his bed

D’von looked at where L’card pointed, he had been a bit annoyed he hadn’t woke anyone to get breakfast, but see his dragon D’von understood
He sniffed the air being closer to the door he smelt burning grass.
“Who’s had their dragon flaming greenery this time in the morning?” he asked understanding now why the candle had been lit. he was quite thankful to the Bitra

L’card shrugged “I’m not sure, i think it was the weyrling master or so some talk was saying” L’card said hearing Arkairyth growl
Arkairyth flicked his tail he was awake and he was hungry. He turned his head to look over at D’von giving an impolite growl
<<Mine i am hungry>> then he realised L’card was not hungry.
<<You have eaten with out me,>>
L’card looked at his dragon.
<<” Yes i have eaten…and i will feed you now”>> L’card said not liking the dragons tone

M’ess woke propping himself up on his elbows “Morning” He stretched rubbing his eyes.
M’ess heard L’cards bronze growl.
M’ess looked over at L’card to see if he was up.
He was not surprised to see him up, M’ess wondered what time it was. Well what ever time it was he was hungry.

L’card looked over at M’ess “morning” He said he found the former smith quit friendly to talk to.
L’card reached back over his cot to find his boots he had not done them up the first time round to make it easier to take off when he came back into the barrack’s.

”Oh right” D’von said tickling Masts chin as the blue wake up, crowning softy and opening his very wide mouth that D’von was surprised he didn’t dislocate his jaw.
“Bet we are the first lot of weyrlings that have woke up before our dragons” D’von said as he went on petting his dragon

M’ess laughed “Yeah...the one time we ill all get the chance to sleep in and we end up waking up early” he looked over at L’card and his dragon.
M’ess got up stretching “Come on we better get them feed before the weyrling master comes looking for use” he said getting his shirt

Zaira had been awake since the small hours of the morning, she had woken up a few hours before sunrise and beem unable to go back to sleep. It seemed Yazmyth had had no such troubles, the unusually colored dragon slumbering peacefully next to where Zaira lay ram-rod straight on the narrow Weyrling beds. There was something unnerving about sleeping amongst all these other girls, there soft snores and loud breathing, mixed with that of the number of dragons and the noises they made, did much to prevent sleep returning. It was not as if she had never shared a room before, but as the sole Harper at Top Point she had had her own weyr and had grown accustomed to silence and, as well as her own personal space. Now she seemed to have neither.
Zaira willed Yazmyth to stir so she would have something to do, some reason to leave the weyrling barracks at such an early hour. As if sensing her rider's thoughts through the barrier if sleep, the white started to toss and turn the eye-lids covering her multi-faceted eyes snapping open.
"Morning Yazmyth," Zaira spoke, a wide smile crossing her face. "Are you hungry? Wait that's a silly question, of course you will be, let's get you something to eat."
**Food sounds good mine, I am famished.** Yazmyth spoke plaintively, not waiting for Zaira to push her feet into boots, the girl had been already fully dressed, before exiting the female area of the weyrling barracks.

D’von got up pulling on his stuff before walking to where Mastopeth was a sleep
“Come on you lazy blue time to get up” he said petting the blues head.
Mast rolled over on to his back <<Mine i sleep dream of food>>
D’von laughed <<”yeah well stop dreaming of food and i will get you some real food”>> D’von said petting the blue.
Mast looked at his rider lazily yawning <<You get food…i stay here and then you feed me>>
D’von laughed “No such luck…get up” D’von said rolling the blue over

It don’t take long for M’ess to get ready but it took longer to get Zarunath to get up and move him self the brown wanted to stay a sleep
[glow=red,1,200] <Mine i sleep> the brown complained to his rider as M’ess tried to get the brown to wake up [/glow]
<”Come on…you need a good breakfast then you can go back to sleep>
After much persuasion M’ess got his dragon to move down to the area that was set up for feeding the dragon.
M’ess saw Zaira with her white “Morning” He said greeting her.
She was after all a weyrling like themselves, except she was also the Weyr Harper…he wondered how she would work round that or would the weyr just send for a new Harper till Zaira dragon was grown enough not to need constant care from her, his, its rider. M’ess realised they didn’t know what gender the whites were, but he didn’t think it wise to go ask at this moment in time.

It took D’von sometime to get ready as the simple action of finding which boot went on which foot seamed very hard this morning after he had got the reluctant Mast to get up.
The little blue was not sat next to him D’von decided to sit in a corner away form people eating not wanting raw meat to put people off their meals.
He cut the meat small enough for the blue to manage and not chook, Mast head picked up considerably now he was being feed

L’card chose a bench a bit away from the others with Arkairyth.
He grabbed a bowl of meat to feed the bronze.
<<Hurry i am hungry>>
L’card was starting to get annoyed at the bronze now. “If i don’t cut this up and gets stock in that rotten throat of yours…don’t blame me.”
This comment resulted in a bronze and the bronze made to go for his rider.
K’inzar walked in seeing the bronze about to go for his rider.
He grabbed the bronzes tail and pulled him back a few foot over the stone floor.
“Give it a rest you bronze monster” he said to the bronze as he walked on to Zaira’s table.
“Em…morning. How are you this morning?” he asked the Harper knowing they had not got on to well the day before.
L’card was about to act when K’inzar grabbed his dragon pulling him back and out of reach of bighting him. He could not help but laugh
Arkairyth turned growling at K’inzar pulling by the tail, he turned back to his rider.
<<You just feed me>>
L’card feed Arkairyth the meat hiding the thought of how he would get away with throwing his dragon in the freezing lake

~MINE! Mineminemine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP NAO!!!!!!!~[/color] As if a voice screaming this in one's mind was not enough, a blur of white flung itself through the air to pounce on the cot Mia slept on, tangling itself in the blankets and tossing them from the bed to roll the groggy weyrling out of bed and onto the floor. ~Up you go, or I'll roll you all the way to the water and dunk you in. UP!~[/color] True to her threat, the pale dragon started to roll Mia across the floor, until the weyrling swatted at her and got to her feet, rubbing her head and runing a hand through her hair. "What is with you? Can't you see that I would like a little bit more sleep you giant flit?" She scowled at Silvyth, but then sighed, shakng her head and looping an arm over the soft neck. "I'll guess at you being hungry? Probably... You eat more than the Bronze does, I swear..."
~Well... I'm not the Bronze, now am I? I can answer that one. No. I am a Snow, so there you have it. Come on, our sister is already up, and you are being lazy.~[/color] Without waiting any longer, and with the same determined, forceful authority she often displayed, Silvyth snatched Mia's sleeve and dragged the girl to the chest of clothes at the foot of her bed, releasing her hold long enough to shove her muzzle in and produce the day's attire.
Mia grumbled, but dressed, and once more, Silvyth grabbed the girl and hauled her along, though by now Mia was fullycapable of walking on her own, without the added force of a dragon. It didn't take them long to reach the tables where the rest were feeding their dragons, and settled to one, not really paying mind to where she sat. She grabbed a few handfuls of meat, though Silvyth was busy preening, her frosty wings splayed wide as she tried to claim as much space as she could. "Hey now, Silly, you have to leave room for everyone you vain thing. Fold your wings and take this." She tossed a bite of meat to the dragon, and watched her swallow it down, obediently folding her wings back to her sides with a grumble.
