Weyr Life Drabbles - Prompt word #30: "Death"
It was a sad sight, one made all the more so because Canth instinctively knew that so many of the hatchlings should not have died. Their hunger was so loud, but they had no Weyr to provide food for them. Where were their sire and dam? Dead, or too fearful of Canth's own presence to remain close to the clutch while it hatched? Would they have protected them from the Wherries? Or fed the hatchlings, sparing them from eating each other?
Canth thought of F'nor, still enraptured with his tiny queen, and buried his insights deeply enough to forget them.
