A young yellowback came up to Albus and Mimir, and Albus affectionately stroked the head of the small dragon. The dragon, whose name was Farendel, seemed to enjoy the attention and purred cheerfully at the lord's touch.  They spent some time in the aviary petting, feeding and observing the various dragons in their habitat. They would spend their formative years here until they were old enough to explore the farther reaches of Mount Khadur. Undoubtedly, as they reached adolescence, some dragons would misbehave and try to hurt their masters, the giants. If this happened, they would get the whip, or if they were worse, they would be locked away like Temenos. This year the weyr seemed to be well-behaved and good-natured, which greatly pleased Lord Albus.
