Chap. 298 Jordan They were about to launch when his datalink went off. “No, damn it, it’s a rest day, and I need to make a new harness,” he griped. He had to drag his pack off his back to dig the thing out. It wasn’t easy as he was already strapped in, ready to…

Chap. 297 Figuring out the future Raventh plunged his head into the dragon trough and drank deeply. Siskin, his hind legs hooked into the collar just behind Raventh’s’ head, reached over to drink until the water level dropped below his reach. When I see their heads side by side, I’m astonished at the difference in…

Chap. 296 Big Lagoon, Little Kids Rather than waiting for the team to assemble at Landing, K’ndar had told the team to all meet at Big Lagoon. “You want to be there first,” D’nis said from Corvuth’s back, as K’ndar was harnessing Raventh, “It doesn’t look good for the team leader to be the last…

Chap. 295 Out with the Old Technology “The problem with having as big as Hold as Lord Toric’s,” D’mitran said, “is managing it. It’s virtually impossible to know everything that’s going on in it.” “Even with all his sons? They have runners, and drums.” “I imagine his sons are more concerned with who’s going to…

Chap. 294 First Survey Day “This is why we train, K’ndar”. D’mitran, B’rost and Risal were nursing ales (in K’ndar’s case, a mug of klah) around the fire pit in Mt. Garben’s sides. D’nis, who lived in the caverns instead of in a building, nodded in understanding. “I told Raylan I wasn’t cut out for…

Chap. 293 The Eureka Moment He hadn’t been back to work for more than fifteen minutes when his datalink buzzed. “K’ndar here, who calls?” “Miklos, Microbiology.” He was astonished. Miklos, actually SPEAKING? To me? “Yesss?” he said in a highly doubtful voice. “You’re the dragonrider who found the carriers of the virus?” “Um, yes, I…

Chap. 292 Lifting the lockdown K’ndar had been recruited into carrying a large bundle of the settler’s belongings as well as transport. The whole family had been flown to Healer Hall. “What plans do you have for the wagon?” he’d asked Landren before they left. They’d emptied it of everything that could be transported by…

Chap. 291 Finding them They attempted to land a ways from the camp. Despite the cold, the settlers had no fire going. Which is probably a good idea, K’ndar thought, considering how dry the grass is. The girl came running to them, smiling. They could see the rest of her family next to their wagon,…

Chap. 290 Message from Healer Hall “They’ve been gone for what, a week? “About that. I didn’t keep track, K’ndar. At the time, I had no idea how important knowing where they are would be. I was just glad they were gone. As for when did they leave? Not soon enough, but, you know how…

Chap. 289 Mapping the Spread “By the egg, ma’am, the settlers! That explains a lot,” B’rost said. K’ndar had never seen him so hyped. “It’s Arlita,” the woman said, “I’m Mard’s wife.” “Yes, ma’am, I apologize for not asking. I’m up to my ears in this thing right now.” “Accepted.” Cooky came up with a…
