The Dragonriders of Pern having been sentenced to exile on the Southern Continent more than one hundred Turns ago, face a world of turmoil, terror and hatred. The two small Weyrs of the South, Refuge and Haven have more than Thread as an enemy. Haven having been attacked by a group known as the Holdless, lost both Queen dragons. Refuge in response to the disaster sent its younger Queen, Rhiannoth to help the faltering Weyr. Now in their time of most dire need, Refuge’s Queen Aeriath has laid another Golden Egg among eleven others of varying sizes.
"The Ram, the Bull, the Heavenly Twins,
And next the Crab, the Lion shines,
The Virgin and the Scales.
The Scorpion, Archer, and the Goat,
The Man who holds the Watering Pot,
And Fish with glittering scales. "
What could be better than a large egg? A large, golden hued egg. The Maiden of the Sky Egg, is more Golden than the sun that shines and the largest egg in the clutch. The only golden shell makes it easy to determine that this egg contains a Queen. As if the size and presence of the egg were not telling enough. The egg awes from afar and also intrigues when up close. From a distance all one can see is the almost blinding shade of Gold on the shell. However, upon closer inspection one notices the dark blue dots on the egg forming the look of a sideways "y" with a long tail. The constellation is known on Earth as Virgo. This egg gives off feelings of practicality and efficiency. Also the feeling of being analyzed sweeps through those who dare approach her.
Second largest egg on the Sands, this egg's coloring rivals that of the others. A deep forest green covers the egg, with beautiful golden specks all around the top of the egg. Staring with what looks like the top of a curved cane the shape of the specks begins to take form. Following from there as if drawing a line one can see an almost straight connection between the dots. This culminates in what looks a like a large triangle (very odd). This constellation is known to all on Earth as Leo. A feeling of arrogance and pride emanates from the dark shell of The King of the Jungle Egg. A magnanimous kind of generosity follows though it seems a bit contradictory.
A good size neither very large nor very small, The Wise Adventurer Egg does not seem to stand out from the crowd physically. Midnight blue with tan colored dots, like the others the dots make a vivid shape. In fact the most interesting feature is the shape on the side of the egg. At first its hard to make out but if one looks long enough the bow is easily visible. The shape when the dots are connected is that of a person holding a bow. It is in fact the shape of a Hunter, also known as Sagittarius by Earth dwellers. The egg gives off feelings of wisdom and restlessness. More than either is a feeling of a need for adventure.
Smallest of the clutch, the last egg of the day and more importantly the culmination of a wonderful clutch. The shell of the small egg is a swirling of light blues and greens with a sheen almost silvery. The Sensitive Dreamer Egg has speckling as well but the colors are hard to see, as they mix with the others, a light yellow shape is formed from the specks that are visible. The image is a sideways "V" with a circle on one arm and a triangle on the other. The represents two fish swimming towards one another's tails known on Earth as Pisces. The egg itself emits a dreamy happy feeling, as if the rose colored glasses are always on. There is an evident sense of compassion and caring coming from the egg.
Can you reach for the stars and Impress one of these dragons?
