Chap. 242 Woochick Beach “I’m so glad you joined us, K’ndar! It’s been ages since I used the secret messaging we did as Weyrlings.” “It’s been a while for me, too. So, what were you doing in the water?” “Snorkeling,” Raylan said. He was gutting a large fish he’d laid on a tree leaf. “And…

Chap. 241 Memories of a Mistake He had been fascinated at how adroitly the Serengeti‘s Master had eased the ship from the wharf. How a ship could move like that, with just sails? Now as she cleared the harbor, her yards blossomed with sails and she pulled away swiftly. He saw Harve waving good bye.…

Chap. 240 On The Wharf Raventh, hovering within meters of the surface of the wharf, felt the weight of the load of lightwood beneath him vanish. It’s down. Good. Quick releasing now K’ndar flipped the quick release on the harness and the cargo straps released from the netting on the load. “Well done, dragonrider! Load…

Chap. 239 Impromptu Dismount “That was fun, K’ndar, it was fun to go home and see Mum and our cousins! They’re so little but Natana can ride just as good as you and me. Her pony is so cute!!” Glyena said, as K’ndar released the buckles holding her into the harness. “I got on her…

I was notified by a highly observant reader that I’ve made a mistake in “Hunting the Steppe”. K’ndar lives on the Southern Continent.

Chap. 237 Wet Turnover As K’ndar buckled Lord Dorn into Raventh’s harness, he thought, after Turnover, I’ll be going home, I should take something. It’s not right to show up with an appetite and empty hands. What? He drew a blank. “Sir, if you were going to go back to your natal home for Turnover,…

Chap. 236 The Selection Raventh was sprawled out in the sunlight, allowing K’ndar to oil him. The dragon’s eyes were closed in bliss. “When you’re done, can I use that oil pot?” a voice said below and behind him. He looked down from his perch between Raventh’s wings to see Francie. Siskin chipped and launched…

Chap. 235 Lefsa’s story Dried flakes of blood and swathes of his hair fell like dust from his head. He resisted the urge to scratch his scalp. “Shards, it’s good to get out of the bandages, my scalp itched enough to drive me mad!” “No doubt, K’ndar. You’ve not washed your head in two days,”…

Chap. 234 Identification “I’d change clothes, were I you,” D’nis said, “You’re fairly ripe.” K’ndar laughed. They were in his quarters after examining the jaw. His mind was racing, trying to understand just what it was from. He picked up the datalink from his desk. “I should have taken my datalink,” he said. “I’m not…
