A Time of Celebration
It was to be the last Fall ever. The Red Star would be moved from its orbit and Pern would be Thread-free. Everyone was preparing for a world where the menace was no longer a threat and would spin off harmlessly into space. Dragonriders were preparing for a Pern that would no longer need them…
But they were wrong.
A Time of Chaos
Thread fell once more, Pern’s ancient menace drifting out of the sky in silvery strands. It was somehow beautiful even as it was deadly. It hissed across the oceans and fell silently onto green pastures, farmland, and forests. Holdfolk, caught unawares and uneducated to the point of not even knowing what it was anymore, were scored to death and devoured by the hungry Threads. Entire Holds fell to the menace; the dragons were far too few to sear it all, their riders inexperienced in fighting. Even the dragonriders fell victim. Many were horribly scored; rider and dragon alike were lost, their inexperience aiding in claiming their lives.
A Time of Hope
Her hide was darkened with egg-goo, and long wings trailed in the sand, but she still looked regal as she sought Hers out with all-seeing eyes. There was no doubt that she was a queen, and she didn’t let anyone else doubt it either! With a certainty that few hatchlings ever displayed, the strange silver queen made a beeline for Hers, Impressing to a quiet young woman known as Cezine…
What is to become of them?
