Chap. 223 Navigating I needed that flight Raventh said. I did, too K’ndar said. He unharnessed Raventh. Just a little ways away, Francie was unharnessing her green, Motanith. Lefsa was chirping as excitedly as a fire lizard. “That was INCREDIBLE! And you do that every day?” Francie, grinning, nodded her head. Her three fire lizards…

Chap. 222 The Messy Desk “This looks like…I mean, it seems..I’m overwhelmed with all the things expected of me,” K’ndar said. “I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve made a mistake? Because this looks like nothing what I expected the job to be like. It looks like I’ll be stuck inside every day, doing data?” He…

Chap. 221 Frustration “K’ndar of Landing. K’ndar of Landing.” He clutched the quilt in sudden terror, his heart racing. “Who’s there?” he said. Where was he? Then he realized, it was his datalink. Of course, he’d left it on the table in the kitchen. He could see it flashing. He jumped out of bed, stumbling…

Chap. 220 New Home If he hadn’t had a guide, K’ndar would have instantly been lost in the orderly maze that was Landing. He’d been there before, of course, but only in a few buildings. Landing was laid out in rows, with roads composed of exposed volcanic rock, smoothed and flattened by some long forgotten…

Chap. 219 Departure “Well, I can’t say I blame you, K’ndar. I don’t think we need to go into why,” D’mitran said. K’ndar was in D’mitran’s home weyr. His kids were listening avidly. His wife was hanging back, not wishing to interfere. “Why, Daddy?” his youngest said. He reached over, picked up the young girl…

Chap. 218 Unexpected Advisor F’mart stood up and brushed the sand from the seat of his pants. “Looks like Kenth is ready to come out,” he said. K’ndar heard himself say, “Wait. I need to pick your brain about something.” The bronze rider stopped, looking down at him with an odd expression. F’mart? I’m asking…

Chap. 217 The Sorting How in the world do I let several people know I’m leaving the weyr? Still bedazzled by the sudden turn of events, he was sitting on a rock on the beach. Even though the rain had stopped several hours earlier, he didn’t want to risk getting his butt wet on the…

Chap. 216 Opportunity After a hearty breakfast, K’ndar headed for Landing’s Flight Ops to check the weather before heading home to Kahrain. We’re not going back to that place? Raventh said, meaning Shawn’s last hideout. No. I don’t really see the need for it. I’m sure M’rvin has everything under control. The wing is already…

Chap. 215 Coming to an agreement Rather than go back to his weyr…it was late, and dragons seldom flew after dark, K’ndar took a bunk in Landing’s visitor’s dorm. He was grateful to have the place to himself. He settled himself on the bunk. Siskin curled up at his feet and promptly went to sleep.…
