Subject: ::The candidate walks in slowly, her soft grey eyes looking across the sands.::

::She watches happily as many other candidates are joined through body and soul to a dragon. She herself was quite determined to impress to anything, queen, green, or blue... she brushes a lock of long brown hair out of her face, mentally scolding herself for not using that extra bit of bathing sand.

She was from Fort Hold, and technically not supposed to be here. Her parents did not believe in thread, and thought that all Dragon-riders were idiots who used the holders and greedily forced them to give up hard earned food. Janeli didn't believe in any of that. Ever since having a brief conversation with the bronze rider who had transfered The Lord of Benden Hold to a gather at Fort she had found herself to be loving dragons and their riders.

When she had told her mother of this she had been laughed at and send to tend the glow-baskets. When the dragon-riders came to Fort Hold on a search her father had hidden her inside, and not allowed her to leave the hold until the riders were gone. Utterly depressed and angry with her parents she had run away from Fort Hold, on the back of Sedi, her well-bred pony.

Sedi carried her far into the midsts of land belonging to Benden Hold. Janeli had then been found by dragonriders searching for new candiates and was immediatly hustled to Benden Weyr. She was soon to become a candidate there when a message had come from S'sha, weyrwoman of Igen, saying that candidates were needed at Igen. She had been sent here, far away from unkind family, and so ever close to the life she dreamed of... being a dragonrider of Pern.::
