Sprint Official 10:00 and Writer's Cramp entry

The desire to stretch her legs was almost overwhelming, when a faint tickle stopped the urge completely. What was that? It felt like something, someone was tickling inside her head. The tickle got stronger, so she concentrated on it.

After a small amount of time, the tickle became something more. There was a presence that reached out to her and touched her innermost being. That presence found her name, Myrellen. The presence didn't seem to have a name, at least it wasn't easily found,

The urge to stretch became insistent. So she opened her eyes to utter darkness, there was not a shred of light. The lack of light increased the desire to stretch. She pushed out with first one leg, then the other. There was a resistance, not exactly a hard surface but, one that kept her contained. She pushed harder, with more determination and the surface began to move to stretch itself. Suddenly, the pressure eased and that surface seemed to tear and light seeped in. The tear increased quickly and her head broke through, as well.

The light surrounded her with a suddenness that made her squint. The light was so strong it made her eyes tear. Her mind was invaded as well. Sounds, images, feelings...it was overwhelming. Then a gnawing painful feeling came from her belly, a frantic series of squeaks emerged from her mouth. She needed.... FOOD! She could smell it, the large strangely shaped being in front of her had it in her grasp. It was dangled close to her face, Myrellen snatched the red dangling item greedily, almost choking as it slithered down her throat, She gobbled more and more. Finally, the painful ache in her belly receded.

Myrellen was able to open her eyes fully and take in her surroundings, including the being who had fed her. It leaned close and touched her gently. It made sounds and a soothing feeling impinged on the mind. Then a name "Kyrella".

Myrellen pushed her head closer to Kyrella and felt connected. This was a connection that felt "right" and complete. Myrellen sighed and closed her eyes as Kyrella held her close to her chest. The sleeping dragon was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. They would be partners for life.
