Song of Remembrance to days gone past

[Franny]

Z'ren was once agian with in teh darkest part of his weyr, playing the gitar. He did not sing, but just palyed a song of grander days past, whe dragons flew in beautiful formation and made the skies sing with beauty. Hechiceroth liked this song because it spoke in later vereses of browns who became weyrleaders, having caught the gold. Hechiceroth believed that one day that would be him.

Z'ren continued to play, and when he got to the end of the reminiscient song, he started again, but this time he sang the words with it, sing in his light bass that blended so well with the gitar's music.

Fly on High
oh dragon swift
formation glitters
like stars in sky

Flame thread nomore
oh dragon great
Fly no more
Formation high
Days gone past and days on high
When thread was here
you saved our lives
now you are just
a sad asset

Oh brown and bronze
Oh weyrleader of old
where lie the weyrs now?
sad songs we sing
of life thats past
now we wish
for menace's return

Thread gave glory
Now without
Thread gave use
Thread gave purpose
What purpose now
but to sit and rot?

What shall sad and failing dragons do
when thread once gone
comes again?

Z'ren had heard that the man who wrote the song was laughed at and told that it was good that thread was gone. He also knew that is was a popular song amongst those who believed that thread would come again, but that the high council scoffed at the song. He liked the quality of the song though, and that was why he was practicing it. He was preparring songs that Hechiceroth had chosen for the gather.

The young man who sat singing was doing so in the domain of a certain blue rider pair who both sat hidden in the shadows. They where always down here, And’l and Hexeth talked to each with the blue asking his rider questions and the young man answering them, as he would reteach the dragon anything that he had forgotten, which was never much since Hexeth would usually just pull the things that he had been taught out of his riders mind, since the young man never forgot what he taught to the dragon. Though the two would sometime debate, over things. It was just what the two did as they hid together down in the weyr.

It was then that the pair heard the singing as And’l stood up softly and they walked in the direction that it came form. They both stood there in the dark listing to it, and it even brought a tear to And’l’s eyes because it was a sad song about dragons, and those type of songs always made him sad. He waited until it was done and he walked up behind Z’ren with Hexeth in tow. Because of how stealthy they where Z’ren would not know they where there until Hexeth said to him, You sing very well Z’ran. Me and And’l really enjoyed it. Yet why are you down here in the dark and not up there singing to everyone in the weyrbowl or dinning hall.

And’l looked at the young man and said, “ He has a point you know, why aren’t you singing upstairs where more can here you?” Most people did not descend to this level willingly because it was dark, but And’l was not afraid because he had Hexeth with him. Leaf chirped as she flew over and landed on the other male’s shoulder and nuzzled Z’ren’s cheek. She had enjoyed his singing too. Her reason for being down her was that she had to protect her pet, plus she never left And’l’s side anyway.
