Subject: ...Eastern Weyrlings...

More weyrlings from Eastern arrived, chattering to each other. Jumi's Midith traipsed along ahead of the rest; K'man's brown lagged behind; Arkia's Midorith and Yriu's Arnurth walked alongside their riders. Arnurth kept casting annoyed glances up ahead; he disliked green Midith, and her rider, and made no bones about it. Yriu caught him staring at the green and scolded him. ~~Arnurth! You need to tolerate her! I know she's not the most... likeable person in the world, but you need to show forbearance.~~ {{Why? She's utterly annoying.}} ~~Maybe so, but just live with it.~~ The blue sighed and shook his head, not able to find an answer suitable to that.

Suddenly, the quartet of dragons broke into a mournful keen that stopped the weyrlings in their tracks. ~~What is it?~~ Arkia asked her green. {{J'el, rider of brown Hilath, Southerner. They are both gone.}} The dragons kept up their dirge until they reached the other weyrlings bagging firestone. The four riders joined in, working with a will, though K'man sometimes drifted into one of his dreamlands and had to be recalled by his brown, Brunth.

Jumi's eyes were wide with shock and awe as she stared up at the dragons flaming Thread. When a dragon and rider were hit, she and her green both squealed simultaneously. 'Midith! Look! They've been hurt! Let's go get some�' A second later, however, the all too familiar keen started up again. The rider and dragon had gone between... forever.
