Chap. 177 Career change Risal was waiting for him outside the dining hall, as they’d planned to meet for breakfast. “Good morning! How’d you sleep?” she asked. He grinned. They’d talked long into the night before. He’d thought that, once he’d get to bed, he’d toss and turn after two hectic days, but, no. “Like…

Chap. 176  The dolphins “Thank you for understanding, Risal, I had no idea I’d spend the majority of the last two days the way I have.

Chap. 172  Return to the Island The four dragons swirled at a great height over the northern tip of the  island, assessing its shape. B’rost and F’mart looked for their landing spots. “I see my target,” B’rost called, and put Rath into a shallow dive until he hovered over the top of the pinnacle. Having…

Chap. 171 The Plan K’ndar looked across the table at M’rvin, his Weyrleader. B’rant, the Weyrlingmaster, had tried to excuse himself from the meeting, but K’ndar held up his hand. “No, sir, please, I value your advice as much as M’rvin’s. Please. I asked you both to poke holes in my plan, so please, feel…

Chap. 170  Change of plans Risal was waiting for him outside the Council’s ‘chamber’. He’d been sweating. “Are you okay?” the girl asked, noting how odd he looked. “Yes, I’m fine,” he said. “They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” K’ndar shook his head as they walked out of the main building. “No,…
