"Nice to meet you. I'm Kalya. I came from Telgar Hold, where my parents, some minor holders, basically kept me in ignorance of even the existance of dragons," she said bitterly, the half-buried memories of a turn ago trying to surface. Ruthlessly Kalya pushed them down, they were part of her past. "Anyway, a drudge, Joth, told me about the dragonriders-" a tear slowly trickled down her cheek as she mentioned his name, "-he told me I should come here and Impress the queen so I could achieve my goal and help Pern like I've always wanted to, you know, help change the history of Pern for the better. He-" again, this part was hard for her to say, with her only half-healed wounds,"-died, a half turn ago. I don't know about the queen, and even though I would like her, I mainly just hope to Impress at all. I came here for Joth, and for myself. Basically that's my life." It was hard, all the pent-up emotions coming out, but one had to, after a point. Otherwise they shattered your existence, like they had Nevva's.

Nevva had had a green dragon, like Alara. The green's name had been Traketeth. Traketeth had died in the Games one year, and Nevva had survived, but had never talked about Traketeth, the memories good and bad. They had bottled up inside of Nevva until she had mixed a potion and commited suicide. Kalya never wanted that to happen to her.

She had held those memories too long inside her. "Anyway, I'm glad to meet a dragonrider," she said, breaking out of the memory.

  - The rider nods understandingly. His sister, Chare, had wanted a green more than a queen, and he's sure she would've been disappointed had she Impressed a gold. This was an odd situation, but he could easily reverse it and see her point. "You'll find your lifemate, that I'm sure. What remains is what color she'll be," he chuckles quietly, flipping the worn riding strap over on his lap and stitching up the backside for extra support. (NT) -- R'nos, 23:49:10 12/08/01 Sat
