Weyr Life Drabbles: Prompt word #79: "Agony"


Enaid couldn't bear to turn around... She'd already seen the young dragons kill. And the screams!  One lad kept crying out about how hungry his dragon was.

Oh no, she wasn't going to watch that.

The incessant humming peaked, and Enaid's safety shattered. A wet gold shape staggered out of the egg's wreckage, wings flapping.  It sprang forward, violently grappling with Enaid's neighbour, until the girl dropped lifeless to the sand with a dull thud.

The dragon's head lifted, desperate red gaze meeting Enaid's eyes.

Paralysed with fear, Enaid whimpered as the dragon leapt once more, claws outstretched.

Agony.
