Here resides everything that isn't contained in the majestic Hold itself. The stables, the tracks, the fields, pastures, everything. The occasional dragonrider lands outside, Thread falls outside, and Gathers are held outside, as well as races.

  • to the heights! -- K-R, 20:51:42 02/04/02 Mon
    ::after alighting daintily on the fire-heights, the rider gives the beast a good oiling and lets her curl up in her nest. with the rag in hand, she oils the two 'lizards, also, and places Gnome II with Raideth. both green and bronze are sleeping quickly:: Aww. Sleepin' like babies. ::she gives the gold flitter, on her shoulder, a good scritching, before settling down and surveying land and sky::

  • Arwen walks outside the Hold, the breeze ruffling her hair -- Arwen ~ Bronze Firelizard Frodo, 19:04:09 01/13/02 Sun
    She looked around, and saw many buildings. She liked the Hold, but she wanted to be a Rider. She sighed, and the Bronze Firelizard on her shoulder chirped with glee at being outdoors. He took off and flew in an easy spiral, skimming the grass. Finally he increases his speed and raises altitude, apparently having found his dinner. He then flew back to Arwen a mouse in his talons looking pleased with himself. Before Arwen could protest he dropped the dead chreature in her hands. Arwen dropped it, and Frodo seemed satisfied with sitting at her feet and munching on the chreature
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Arwen lay in the warm grass, absentmindedly pulling up strands thinking. Frodo having finished his snack on Arwen's request had taken the bones away. He was smart for a hatchling, and talented but so lazy! Now he lay against Arwen while she stroked the young thing with a finger.
    There was only silence, except for the puring noise released by Frodo and the buzz of insects.
    Arwen said softly, "I wonder if I'll be as free as you, Frodo. I wonder if I'll ever fly as you. Someday.."
    She trailed off and sat propped on her elbows looking out at the horizon...

  • -O-|-^-|----> -- K-R, flits Gnome and Darkiy, 20:32:08 01/09/02 Wed
    ::the golden flitter stops nuzzling the air, and follows Kain on Raideth to the heights. the woman dismounts, and grabs her handy oiling cloth and oil, rubbing her dragon down. the green thrums in pleasure, sending ripples of vibration into Kain:: That really itched. Thank you. ::Kain smiles:: Anything for you, my heart. ::giving the dragon some more scritches, she lets Raideth curl up on her ledge, the sun warming her back. with a yawn, and lets the two flitters find some rats. Gnome brings his back and eats it, but Darkiy, surprisingly, just digs into its neck and sucks the blood from its throat. with a creel, she leaps up and blinks off to the FLFA(Fire-Lizad flight Air.) Kain watches after her, but doesn't follow, too tired to. she finishes oiling Raid, and leans against the green, lying down, watching the sky::

  • Arrival -- Averus, 18:08:10 01/09/02 Wed
    Averus bounces in, sore from the hours of riding required to return from the Gather. He leaves the runner in the yard, assuming that someone will take care of it. He strides into the Hold to find his rotund partner.

  • -O-|-^-|----> (dragon smiley!) -- K-R, 18:31:57 01/04/02 Fri
    ::small, golden Darkiy sees Caen, and the flit alights on her shoulder. Darkiy croons softly, nuzzling her cheek. the huge greendragon lets loose a bass rumble that melts into a full-blooded roar. Raideth's rider glances down, and Kain urges the green to land. still on Raideth, the 14-year-old watches Cean:: Hello, my Lady. Is something wrong? Can I felp you?

  • **Wanders in, eyes glinting nervously in bright sunlight** -- Genne, 19:52:05 12/18/01 Tue
    **She sighs, sitting against a wall and streching her legs out in front of her. Lost in her own thoughs, images of taunting children fill her vision. Words crowd her brain, nasty taunts, threats.** Aw, look at the poor little girl. Look at how ugly she is. **Genne shudders and wipes forming tears from her eyes** Why would you Impress a firelizard? You're too ugly and too stupid. What 'lizard would want you? **Putting her head in her hands, she curls up in a small ball, tears falling freely, wetting the earth beside her.**

  • A shady figure approaches -- Basillisk, 18:44:34 12/17/01 Mon
    A shady figure, approaches wearing a black cloak, and firm black boots. His amber eyes seem to see past the walls of Ruatha as he tosses his long dagger lightly in one hand. Suddenly he flings it at the wall and it burries itself in the wall, he then proceeds to post a message on the wall. It reads:

    To all malcontents of Pern, come to the cave off Igen Weyr. I am spreading, the word of the malcontents. I have created a group of bandits and thieves to bring some lawlessness to Pern. I shall be hitting trade caravans, and gathers all over Pern, so join me now.

    The figure then retrieves his dagger and seems to melt from view with a smile that seems to last even after he is gone.

  • ~ inside ~ -- D'ren - Soulth, 18:12:42 12/14/01 Fri
    The blue dragon and rider came out of between easily, and Soulth landed just outside of the Hold, and already the Rider was encouraging the Dragon to hurry. Anyone here likely to Impress, Soulth? {Hm... there!} The Dragon said, eyes whirling quickly, as his head turned to look straight at Bevier and Rhia, and D'ren lept off of Soulth, and walked over to the two. "Would you two like to come to Igen Weyr - the Weyrwoman's Dragon just flew, and a clutch should be laid anytime now. You're welcome to come..." D'ren trailed off. "Ah. I'm D'ren, this is Soulth." He added.

  • :: inside :: -- Rhia and Bevier and Ariadne, 15:05:57 12/14/01 Fri
    Rhia runs outside, eyes shining happily, and behind her her twin brother Bevier walked smartly up to stand at her side. "Why'd we come out here, Rhia?" He asked her, and Rhia turned to half-glare at him. "We came to get some fresh air! It's stiffling inside of the Hold." "Well, I thought it was-" "No one cares what you think, Bevier, be quiet!" Rhia snapped, one of their usual exchanges. Bevier's cheeks colored slowly and his gaze dropped to the ground, following Rhia as she began to walk around.

    Ariadne, about fifty yards behind them, listened to what her cousins were talking about and rolled her eyes - they were always like this! Wouldn't Rhia ever grow up? Wouldn't Bevier ever get his own opinions? If he thought on his own, perhaps he wouldn't pick on her quite so much. Her eyes blazed dangerously as she thought about that, and she turned to go inside, as the fire lizard on her shoulder began to creel softly - but hungrily...

    ::from atop her green's back, the tall girl stares blandly about. it looks as if she was to guard ntohing at all, now. Raideth senses her emotions, and croons support. Kain strokes her dragon as they fly::

    ::the dragon erupts from between, and circles over the hold. she lands, and yawns a huge yawn. her rider smiles wearily, and watches the sky. her flits were curled up on the in the fire-heights, and the girl herself was getting sleepy. but she mounted her dragon and they took wing::

  • Return -- K-R and flits, 15:33:09 09/25/01 Tue
    ::the woman Kain and the dragon Raideth erupt from between. they resume their lazy flight spirals, every once and a while diving low to the ground and whooshing back up again. the bonded beings are a blur of dark green, black, darkish silver and dark tan. Raideth tilts a wing and spins along the ground. her stomach gives a massive rumble:: Ohhh...hungry... ::Kain carresses her Impressed's back:: And sleepy... ::Kain nods, reluctantly agreeing:: You can let me off and go get food real quick. Try and hurry. I'll stay here with the flits.

    ::smalls bolts of gold, bronze, brown, and blue flit around her head in a wreath of color as the massive green dragon flies on, flies on. the dragoness tilts her dark dial up into a darkened bugle, erupting from her throat, as she flies on, flies on. the girl, no young woman, upon her back, one knee up, grinning from ear to ear, lifts her head with the beast, feeling the connection that binds them. together they fly on, fly on::

  • -Runs in- -- Allindar, Mejin, 14:53:05 09/20/01 Thu
    (OOC: only now am I able to get here. How ironic)

    -The boy runs in, following Mejin. The green lands on his shoulder, obviously adgitated. Images of /dragon/bronze/man/here/Kain/Raideth/ flash through his mind furiously. He gasps and covers his head with his hands until the barrage stops. He looks around, squinting from the light.- "Kain? Raideth?" -He walks to the place where the bronze had been and stands there, wondering if Kain would have heard him.-
