Katiana's Weyr
You enter yet another candidates weyr. How many candidates can one Weyr hold?
you wonder. This weyr is some how different then the others that you have visited here
today. It is a hollow in a cave, like the other ones, and it has the same old appearance. A
stone dragon coach is in on corner, unoccupied. A dark green curtain to the living
chamber is partially open, reveling a spacious room that is well furnished. A bed is in on
corner and a table with two chairs is in another. The chairs are apolstered and a little
stained, but they do look comfortable. You turn your head left and right, trying to find a
occupant to this weyr. Without warning there is a tap on your shoulder and you come face
to face with a young girl of about 15 turns. She is not tall and not short, not muscular and
not skinny. Just your average kid. She has brown hair streaked with golden highlights. Her deep green eyes twinkle.
"Hi," she says, "I’m Katiana, and this is my weyr."
You look around the room again.
Nothing unusual about it. Then you see two fire lizards perched on a rafter. One is gold
and the other is blue.
Seeing where your attention is directed she says. "Oh, the gold is
Kiki and the blue is Negio". I impressed them at Seagaurd Weyr."
"Do you want some klah? Or anything? I love to cook, but I’m not very good at
it." You reply that Klah would be wonderful and she gets a picture of it and sets it on the
table, you both sit down. After the first taste of klah you know that this is going to be an ordeal, it tastes like mud, or worse.
You keep her occupied and from noticing that you arn't drinking you klah you decide to ask her about her life before she can to Twin Firestone Weyr.
"Well there is not really much to tell, I was born in a small hold far to the north.
My mother Linata was a good enough person, but there were so many of us kids that she
never had time for just the individual child. I had 6 brothers and 3 sisters. My father,
Notion was kind enough, though he was a gruff old man. He worked very hard to keep
the family afloat.
"Well, they needed away to get rid of us kids now that we have grown up. I am the
youngest of all of my sisters and the third youngest over all. Well, they needed away to get
rid of us so my sisters married of and some of my brothers left to do different crafts at
different holds. I am the only candidate. Did I mention that? I'm a candidate at Evala Weyr. I just sent a letter, they looked me over and-" she
claps her hands loudly, making the fire lizards run for cover, "BOOM! I’m here!" She
laughs. You have finished your klah, and feel the better for it, mainly because you managed to keep a strait face, and she rises.
"I have runner too, though I can barely
ride. I wish I could ride better. My lesson is right about now, do you want to come?"
Yes
No
