Mabonth was bored.
It seemed like every fun thing she did either made Vanzanth angry or got Kaiya in trouble.
She tried challenging the other dragonets to staring contests, which was fun until Sespanath chased her off – what a sore loser! She tried playing rock, paper, scissors with Meedith and sent him sulking off to the weyrling barracks – another sore loser! But the last straw was when she hid a hotfruit in Cyrnath’s wallow and almost got her head bitten off – it was only a joke! But it had set Cyrnath’s rider off against Kaiya, and nothing was worth that! Vanzanth was now keeping a very close watch on Mabonth to make sure she didn’t cause any more distress.
Now she was loafing around near the weyrling barracks, bored out of her mind. She looked up to see Kaiya with a small carrysack and a smile on her face.
“Mabonth! I have a surprise for you!” She reached into her carrysack and pulled out a flat, metal round disc with a curved rim.
Mabonth perked up. What is it?
“It’s called a ‘frisbee’. I found a picture of it in some old Record, and I thought I’d have one made. It cost a few marks from the Smithcrafters, but hopefully it’s worth it!” She grasped it in one hand, and threw it. Mabonth gaped as it glided smoothly through the air.
“Catch it!” Kaiya called out.
Mabonth bugled joyfully and leaped up, catching it in her mouth.
