A Weyr of Hope and Change
[/blockquote][/blockquote]At one point in time, there were two Weyrs; the ever growing Hadi Weyr and the dying Black Obsidian Weyr. Hadi had more Riders, plus two Golds among their Wings, while Black Obsidian had only a hand full of Riders that refused to leave and no Queen to speak of.
Hadi Weyr prospered and grew, many of its inhabitants being old Black Obsidian Weyrfolk that had transfer over to the Hadi Weyr for better protection and living conditions. The Senior Weyrwoman Kasdi and her Gold Cometh watched as her Weyr grew and was overjoyed when her Cometh started to Rise. The Flight was grand, with many of the remaining Riders from Black Obsidian coming just to watch. Yet, an interesting thing happened when the agile Brown Morth caught Cometh. Both Weyrs were overjoyed by the sight of the two dragons together and all left, leaving Kasdi and Morth's Rider, Da'im, to do as many had done before them.
After the Flight was done there was a short argument between Da'im and Kasdi over wither or not he would return to Black Obsidian Weyr, or stay with her at Hadi Weyr. In the end, Da'im and Morth returned with the other Black Obsidian Weyr Riders, leaving a broken hearted Kasdi and Cometh behind. It wasn't easy for the Brownrider to leave his weyrmate, but he had his duty to the Black Obsidian Weyr, as one of the few remaining BrownRiders left.
Soon, the bugle of an expecting Cometh came from the Hatching sands and word was sent as quickly as possible to the Black Obsidian Weyr in hopes of reaching Da'im and Morth before the young Queen had her eggs. Time was on the messenger's side as he reached Da'im in time and all where back in time to watch as the eggs were lain and Cometh wrapped around her clutch protectively until they would hatch. Sadly, when Kasdi was able to count the eggs, there were only 7 eggs, but she was happy that her Queen had produced 7 in her first clutch. Kasdi and Da'im stood together as a Weyrwoman and her Weyrleader should have, with the entire Hadi Weyr and more than half of the Black Obsidian Weyr behind them watching.
The Candidates stood before the Queen and touched the eggs, feeling the heat coming off of the them, then stepped back as the eggs started to hatch. The first to hatch was a little Bronze, sending the crowd into bouts of cheering. There was at least a chance for Bronzes to continue for just a bit longer. The next hatchling was a little Gold, which sent the crowd screaming in happiness. Da'im took Kasdi's hand and squeezed it in his excitement. Their dragons had just made it possible to continue the dragon line for the next generation. After the Gold, came a grayish, milky blue female hatchling; which would take on the rank of a Teal dragon. A fiery red female hatchling followed the Teal, earning the name of Crimson dragons. Following the Crimson female was a male Cream hatchling hatched, covered in egg slime but not even that covered up the ivory coloring of his scales. Following the Cream, and bursting from its shell was a ashen gray hatchling that started hissing and raving at it's hatchling mates, earning it the name of an Onyx dragon. Finally, the last egg hatched, showing itself to a beautiful plum hued Violet female.
The gathered crowd held its breath as it looked at the seven hatchlings, five of which were uncommon colors for dragons. It was Morth who offered the first thought, cooing to Cometh on a job well done, which seemed to snap Kasdi out of her shock and sent the Weyrwoman running to her dragon. From her position standing near Cometh, Kasdi watched as the hatchlings went to their chosen Candidate. Her attention followed the path of the Onyx hatchling, and in horror, she watched as it mauled the young Candidate, who simply took the mauling and began wrestling with the hatchling it seemed.
Turns later, after that happy day and the memories of the Impression of the five new dragonets seemed to wear off, the Weyrlings started Flight lessons under the Hadi Weyrling Master. After they were big enough, several of the new dragons went to Black Obsidian Weyr, leaving only the Bronze and Gold riders behind at Hadi Weyr.
The threat of Thread seemed high but the silvery raining death never should and the Turn went on. Kasdi and Cometh passed into the dark abyss of the Between taking with them the hope of keeping Hadi Weyr alive. The remaining Goldrider was still too young to know how to handle the position of Weyrwoman and many of Hadi's Weyrfolk and Holdfolk transfered back to Black Obsidian Weyr. Now, Da'im holds down the position of Weyrleader, waiting for the day either the new Violet or Goldriders are able to step forward and take the position of Senior Weyrwoman.
