A Wounded Junior - October 9, 2005
| Rumor has it that, recently, Ista's senior bronze Vsonath
screamed across Pern for help. Despite Ista and Xanadu's shaky relationship,
Calanth was one of the first to respond, dragging Casi along with her.
Things happened, and Casi was pitched headlong in a battle for the life
of not only herself, but the Weyrleader of Ista. Against whom, you might
ask? Well, the rider that brought the body in is telling people he wore
a Xanadu's resident knot, and was killed by his own blade. This has all
of Xanadu whispering. Rumor also tells that I'ven was at the sight of
the fight, seeing to the badly wounded Weyrleader and desperately working
to save his life before a quick order from Casiella sent Calanth between
for a Master Healer. The man, unfortunately, seems to have died before
any information could've been got.
Add on top of this that Casiella was wounded in the fracas - by a knife buried to the bone in her thigh. Blood was lost, though not nearly as much as the Weyrleader, and the Junior Weyrwoman is currently reposing in a state of unconsciousness in the Ista infirmary, I'ven hovering devoutly at her side. Even still, it will likely as not be sevendays before she is well enough to go b*tween back to the Southern Continent, back to Xanadu, back home. And on to this the shimmery glint that's been noted to Calanth, and the gossip mill is churning earnestly. How will this effect relations between Ista and Xanadu? What does Ista's Senior Weyrwoman have to say about having a young gold inching closer and closer to her maiden flight in her Weyr? Will Casi and Calanth be home by the time Calanth is ready to rise? Will Khriseth win her? What on Pern will Niva do now about Xanadu's public relations? Igen can't be sitting very un-touched by this escapade. Undoubtably, rumors have already begun to fly - cross Xanadu, and they send assassinators. |
