96-100. Oops! The wind changes and you and a wingmate find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place! You can make a hard choice: pop Between to avoid taking damage, which will cause your wingmate to take the hit instead! Major Damage: -5 HP Or you can try to flame it and wind up taking the damage instead! Major Damage: -5 HP. The choice is yours, but you only have a split second to make it.
Tianxiath's spirits were high as they joined the other Weyrlings for their first battle with Thread, and Aerden was keeping a firm grip on making sure that confidence didn't turn into cockiness. Almost immediately, the wind unexpectedly changed direction, and Aerden realized with a jolt that they and another Weyrling pair were about to be in deep trouble. Going Between would surely save them, but then that meant-- Tianxiath!
The blue hesitated, flame leaping from his jaws when all he really wanted to do was safely slip into the coldness of Between--and he shrilled with pain as Thread bit deeply into chest and neck. Aerden cursed, visualizing where he wanted them to go. I'm sorry. He said miserably, reaching out to his dragon.
Shaken and upset, Tianxiath mentally reached back for him. You're lucky I can make this look fashionable He said unhappily, but would do his best to bravely soldier on. He couldn't be seen falling to pieces!

34-40. You've got a moment to focus and breathe. You glance up at the higher wings, considering what it might be like when you get tapped into an actual fighting Wing. More action, sure, but a lot more opportunity for harm. Mph. No. Focus. Right now, you have to focus!
With Tianxiath brooding on his hurts, Aerden couldn't help but sneak a glance upward, where the other wings of dragons were fighting. If this is how it was even at lower altitudes, he could hardly even imagine fighting at the very top of the pack... With a shake of his head, he abandoned that line of thinking and forced himself to focus. We'll be more careful next time. He promised.

Thread! Aerden felt his pulse jump, and Tianxiath angled closer before opening his jaws wide. A streak of flame sprang forth, burning down the strand until nothing remained. That was more like it! Aerden thumped the blue's neck, and got back a feeling of very smug satisfaction.
89-95. You appear from the cold of Between, but find your air space full by some wind blown Thread! Your dragon swiftly wheels out of the way, able to avoid getting scored in an impressive aerial display. Ha! That was almost too easy...but don't get cocky. +1 General Agility
After popping Between to avoid a particularly large clump of Thread, the pair remerged just to realize that the wind had blown it right back at them! Despite his large size for a blue, Tianxiath nimbly darted out of the way of danger. Simple! Then again, he was an exemplary creature...
26-33. There's a patch of Thread and you're ready to flame it down! Unfortunately, in your haste, you wind up charring one of your of your fellow weyrlings instead! Oh no! If this is your 3rd time rolling this then you must take 3 turns of Guilt! Any Damage rolled takes an additional loss of -5 HP. Any successful bonuses or saves by other players don't affect your character. You just don't deserve it.]
Tianxiath darted forward to burn down another clump of Thread--only for he and Aerden to realize too late that another pair was too close! The blue's flame seared the unfortunate other dragon, and Aerden cringed. They... were not making a good showing so far.

This was not their first time fighting Thread but R'thell was as anxious as Triesteth. The round little green was anxious, not so much for the possible pain to come, but instead, for her clutchmates. She loved them all so dearly that it broke her hearts that they might well suffer. She wished she could fight with each of them but could only hope that those in First Wave succeeded without injury. On the one hand, she knew they would all succeed--they were so wonderful, so talented, so good that they would surely not struggle in defeating the Enemy and saving the world.
But she still worried.
Perhaps she would visit them all once they returned, so as to ensure with her own eyes that they were safe, and whole.
"Come on, sweetling. It's time." R'thell's nerves were shot--he hated flying Second Wave if only because it meant there was so much more time to think. He much preferred getting up into the air right away, and getting his shift over with. Today, though, there would be ample time to think what with the length of the Fall.
By the time the pair appeared in Spark's Rising, the green immediately had to avoid a patch coming through. She attempted to pull off an elegant twist, but her damaged wing immediately objected. Oops. She wouldn't try that again.

Thankfully, the objecting wing didn't bother the green too much, though R'thell was aware of it's continued ache even as Triesteth flew. While he was concerned that it would continue to object as time went on, Triesteth didn't seem to be bothered by it. In fact, the little butterball was so focused on the chaos around her that she was able to bugle a warning to one of her wingmates.

Another wingmate was in danger, and the little green wanted so badly to help. Let's go! R'thell ordered, even as he visualized the coordinates. Unfortunately, by the time the two appeared from Between, the wind had changed and the little green found herself wrapped up in the tangle. Worse, her wingmate had a bit of a fright.
R'thell hastily thought of new coordinates, and the cold of Between soothed Triesteth's injuries. You okay, darling?
The little green gave a croon, though he could tell she was feeling uncomfotable. I'm sorry, Mine. I couldn't get away but I promise to do better next time!
No, no, no! It was me, Trie. I gave us bad coordinates, took us in too close. R'thell was quick to send her assurances. If anyone needed to do better, it was him.

The little green continued the fight. A flash of silver caught both rider and dragon's gaze, and Triesteth immediately dove after it. Unfortunately, she missed her mark and instead of flaming down the Thread, caught it on her left wing instead.
Giving a small creel of surprise and pain, she hopped Between. Thankfully, by the time they reappeared, she was able to resume the fight.
R'thell grimaced. You sure you're all right, love? I don't want to overwork your wing. Her left wing was already sensitive and weaker than her right, ever since she was hatchling. Fighting Thread wore her out something terrible and he always felt at risk of her overdoing it.
The little green sent him back nothing but tender love. I'm all right, Mine. It hurts but isn't anything to worry much about. The pain will pass.

A lull in the action meant both rider and dragon had a chance to breathe and think. Though R'thell was worried about Trieseth's injuries, there were others on his mind as well. Already dragons had gone down.... Would any of his fellow weyrlings fall victim? And what of Lex? He was surely in one of the wings, doing his part. But now wasn't the time to let his thoughts wander.
He needed to focus.
Thread could slip through the wings at any moment.

11-25. A rider in the Low-Altitude Wing needs a new bag of firestone. Though Threadfall is a little heavier up here, and the wind stronger, you're able to toss the stone successfully. The rider gives a nod of thanks! Nice aim! +1 Target Accuracy
V'ime let out a slow breath as Rhodonth jumped into the air, wings powering them up to the proper height before jumping Between to join their wing in the fight. This was their first real time flying during Threadfall and V'ime had to admit he was nervous, though his green's confidence was helping quite a bit.
Almost immediately after arriving someone needed firestone in the low altitude. V'ime urged Rhodonth up and despite the heavier Threadfall and the wind, they managed to deliver the sack with success.

Rather than flying back down and risking Thread falling from above, V'ime and Rhodonth jumped Between again to return to their proper position. Unfortunately for them when they appeared they were surrounded by Thread. Rhodonth, ever confident in her own abilities, pulled her wings tight against her sides and they dropped like a stone. A moment later and she flared them again, dipping one to turn sharply out of the way.

Although Rhodonth made a spectacular move moments ago, the Thread chased them down as she fought to regain altitude. She spotted her brown brother Rossoth between her and her destination, Thread hot on her tail, and rather than trying to flame it down she impulsively jumped Between to escape it, leaving him right in harms way.
So sorry, Rossoth, darling, she cooed as she reappeared from Between, V'ime's heart beating fast as he looked behind them to see what had happened. I do hope it didn't hurt too badly. You're a big, strong brown, you can take a little Threadscore, can't you? Her tone was fairly sincere - for the apology, at least - and the rest was sugary sweet to hopefully remove the sting of Thread.
"Sorry!" V'ime called out to Ke'res, making a mental note to check on the pair after. He scowled down at Rhodonth, not particularly pleased she'd sacrificed her brother rather than trying to flame down the Thread, but there was nothing to be done now. He'd have to try to stay in charge.

After leaving Rossoth to deal with the Thread that was meant for her, Rhodonth spun beautifully between more strands of Thread.
"We're supposed to flame it, not avoid it," V'ime grumbled as they settled back into formation. "Let's focus on that a bit, yeah?"
