Subject: *two sided memories*

Deep blue orbs stared unfocused... a gust of wind teased Alysia's cheek like the breath of a dragon. Her mind and body were dettached from their surroundings as Asyl kept up a friendly conversation with the other Canidates...

Aly's mind was tumbling, lost amid her soul in the bottomless cavern of her memories.

As Asyl brought up their parents, a shudder coarsed through Alysia's back. Against her will, a memory burned into her mind, imprinting its self deeper, letting a searing pain of anguish and sorrow pound through her veins. Squeezing the blue orbs shut Alysia tried her hardest to push it away but the images of her past burned her eyes...

A musty odor wafted through the warmth... Aly snuggled deeper into the false security of the hides... barely awake but still clinging onto the past night's dreams.

Slowly letting her eyes open to the caress of sunlight a smile brushed Alysia's lips... the sleepy wonderment of life it's self was still apon her.

Then a pounding of feet pentrated the calm. Instantly the five year old was awake... looking with frightened eyes across the tiny chamber Aly saw the comforting sight of a bronze haired little boy... her twin. Though Asyl was also awake and worried the girl felt reassured by the sight of her brother.

Aly's calm reassurance was replaced by a slow frantic feeling of fear as she snuck from the warmth and security of her bed. Slight feet pattered across the stone and Aly stuck her head out the window... her five year old form barely could see over the ledge but, the young one still had enough of a veiw to have the horrrible image be burned into her mind for all times...

Alysia's eyes hardened and stood tall, her chin up... she would not let the past ruin her future... tossing blonde curls into the air, Aly's eyes danced across the hollowed sands where the past and present combined in an endless world where humans are combined with dragons... and in that instance her hope and courage surged back into her body, coarsing through her veins...

Asyl felt in the back of his mind a fear and immediatly turned his bronze flecked eyes the Alysia... Seeing her stance and far off eyes the memory washed over him also...

The little boy sat up in bed... golden eyes, flecked with bronze wide with uncertainty. There was too much noise for the hour of dawn. Looking over to his sister's bed, there was only a reasess where her body once lay... the five year old boy lept from bed... even at his young age Asyl had been protective of his sister... no matter how much she wanted to take over and lead through the trail that life and fate had twisted.

Seeing the young, niave eyes stare, with mouth open and full lips parted in a silent scream. Asyl raced up to her and pushed himself up to look out the window... there... Asyl could not believe his eyes.

Sylinath circled another bronze. K'noss' Likarth Asyl noted. K'thos had been drunk the night before Sy realized franticlly looking for the rider... but the bronze rider was no where to be seen. Sylinath hissed at Likarth and reared, expanding his translucent wings to their full extent so the membrane was stretched... Likarth lunged jaws open revealing jagged mountains of white daggers.

Asyl watched in horror as R'myr, rider of Sylanth ran with determination and lept into the middle of the turmoil... Confident that sensibilty and Sylanth's love for him would over come anger...

Asyl screamed as R'myr took the thrash of Sylanth's claws and the crush of Likarth's jaws on his chest...

Immediatly Sylanth stopped the red of anger and his blood thirsty lust gone as the pain that his slowly dying bronze rider was induring... Bugling Sylanth disappearedbetween forever...

Myley screamed running down from the wall that surrounded the weyr... screaming at her own green Mysith as she tried to hold onto the dragon from leaping between to join her weyr mate... reaching R'myr's bloody, battered body Myley wept, yelling curses to K'noss and Likarth... cradling R'myr's head in her lap, Myley drew her dagger and plunged the glinting tip into the depths of her heart...

Asyl in a daze, his mind not functioning properly for nothing of the sort could ever happen to him, heard Alysia scream to Myley as the woman fell backwards blood flowing from her chest...

"MOMMY!"

Asyl jerked from the horrible memory... glancing over to Alysia he knew that she had also just seen death of the only people in the world who had ever touched the twins...
