Chap. 105  The Skull K’ndar had flown into Landing to turn in a notebook (and get a blank one in return). He’d learned his way around Landings many buildings by now, and was sitting in the dining hall. It was different from his own, of course. He wouldn’t say anything, he thought, but Hariko’s staff…

Chap. 104 The bell maker “Hello, K’ndar! This is a nice surprise, won’t you come in, please?” Terylin ushered him into her cottage. It was neat and cozy. Two cats purred a welcome and Putzu warbled a hello to Siskin. “Sylvana, we have company, it’s my dragonrider friend, K’ndar!” Her partner came from the kitchen.…

Chap. 103  Planning the recovery Francie’s arrival in the dining hall was announced by the tinkling of a small bell. Of her three fire lizards, Coora, the bronze, was wearing a harness, bearing a tiny bell. Siskin, who was roosting in the rafters, chirped. Sisi and Keeso, Francie’s two green lizards, flew up to join…

Chap. 102 The Promise “Now, Keendar, you tell how mosar bite dragon on tail,” Swash, the dolphin, said. K’ndar explained how they’d happened to get too close to a mosar. “Teke tell Tillek you see mosars. Much danger, Keendar, much danger. No go near.” “That’s what Teke told us.” “They not around here. Only south…

Chap. 101 The Dolphin Bell K’ndar, B’rost and Lindea were sitting on the new dock, rebuilt after the hurricane. D’nis, Weyrleader at the time, had had a dolphin bell installed. “Isn’t this bell supposed to be used only in emergencies?” B’rost asked, a bit hesitant. “Um, I don’t know. We don’t have a dolphineer here…

Chap. 100 The rusted tang B’rost resisted leaving. He was still poking around the enormous skeleton. “Look, K’ndar, even with it missing the skull, this thing must be 10 meters long!” “Come on, B’rost, even Rath is getting nervous. Do you want to get stuck in a squall?” “Just a few more minutes, K’ndar…or you…

Chap. 99 The Coastline Outpost This time, K’ndar brought plenty of collecting bags and jars. They landed right at the spot he’d built the cairns. The wind hadn’t dropped much, he noted. It would be a miserable place to live, if the wind blew all the time. However, he did note that the surf had…

Chap. 97.1  The Reluctant Teacher “I really like this firepit structure, D’nis,” M’rvin, the Weyrleader said. “It serves a lot of purposes.” He was sitting with his feet up on a footstool. Siena, his weyrmate, was next to him. The weyrfolk were sitting in a large circle around a large firepit. The fire crackled and…

Chap. 97  The mystery item B’rost was eating breakfast when K’ndar spied him, alone, in the dining hall. He got a plateful of breakfast and sat down next to him. “What’s on your agenda for today? It’s a rest day.” B’rost had the rusted ‘thing’ on the table. He’d been obsessing about it since finding…

Chap. 95 Shark bite Careth, Rath and Corvuth were ‘parked’ at Landing when K’ndar arrived. He was grateful that Salish, the dragonhealer, had treated Raventh so quickly. He wanted to see what B’rost had found, and perhaps learn more about the creature that attacked his dragon. The three others were surprised to see him when…
