Subject: *Enters again, as light melted below the horizon*

Thorn entered on silent feet, his blue Firelizard Nymph on his shoulder, talons piercing Thorn's skin. Thorn didn't mind, pain was irrelevant. He sat in the warm sand, aware that a clutch did not rest nearby, and he thought, Nymph cuddling up, his tail around Thorn's neck.

Thorn watched through tear soaked optics as his mother's green Tokith disapeared Between Rarina, his mother not aboard. His eyes went to his mother, whom lay almost dumbly, her eyes squeezed shut, her breath harsh.
His father, K'ol, stood in front of Thorn almost completely blocking his view. Rarina seemed to be fumbling with one hand at her belt, and what she withdrew would break Thorn's, K'ol's, and the whole Weyr's hearts.
Her belt dagger glistened, and she screamed out one name, "TOKITH!" before jabbing the thing into her abdomen. K'ol was shaking horrbly, unable to move, the shock to much to bear. Healers ran up, and Thorn lept toward his mother sobbing.
Pain.
Thorn was backhanded, and as he turned an almost complete somersault in the air, the four turns old child saw the hand that hit him, and realized this hand belonged to the person he least expected.
K'ol.
Thorn lay in the grass, a cut cross his forehead bleeding, blood dripping into his eyes..
He could faintly see K'ol kneeling before Rarena, his hands holding hers, sobbing.

Thorn didn't move, just laid there, sobbing, feeling his whole world shattering apart, feeling as if massive Dragons gripped him and pulled him to shreds.

He couldn't go on...the thoughts were hard, the thoughts scared him.
