Rune of Green Saevath
Now, as they hovered above Fishercraft Hall, she closed her eyes, remembering the cut of the shoreline of High Reaches Hold. She could remember it pretty clearly, and as her mind pictured it, one of few things she could remember about it, could see clearly. Saevath gave the equivalent of a mental grin, and within a moment? snapped through the cold of Between and straight to High Reaches Hold. The shore was below them in moments, and they were above it in only seconds, like REAL riders, and Rune gave a cheer of pleasure! YES! This was how it was done!

Theo and Bronze Iweth
Distraction/Intensity: 2 Exhaustion/Alertness: 4 Memorization/Visualization: 5 Anxiety/Confidence: 2 Slacker/Studious: 5
Grid 1 - Easy Difficulty Level 1. Fishcraft Hall - 16 2. High Reaches Hold 3. Nabol Hold 4. Tillek Hold 5. High Reaches Weyr
A day of wonder! A day of triumph! The start of a new chapter in their lives! Iweth was bright and ready beneath his rider, all but thrumming with pride and excitement. How wonderful, how magical to be able to come and go all across Pern as they liked! The bronze was ready for that freedom, for the adventure of it all.
Theo, meanwhile, was shivering in his straps, swallowing the urge to gag where he sat. The last minths had thrown how taxing and dangerous the life of a rider could be into sharp relief, the man’s rose-colored view of the world cracking just slightly. And today was the most dangerous day, at least until they rose to fight thread. They could die...! He was so wrapped up in his worries that he missed the launch call, only jerking back to focus when Iweth relayed the request for coordinates, stammering them out, thankfully correct (and bless those hours and hours of obsessive studying!) and then—!
With a cut-off shriek of fear, they were gone... and then back, Theo still clinging to his straps and the tail end of his wail fading out into the air over the Hold.

Theo and Bronze Iweth
Distraction/Intensity: 2 Exhaustion/Alertness: 4 Memorization/Visualization: 5 Anxiety/Confidence: 2 Slacker/Studious: 5
Grid 1 - Easy Difficulty Level 1. Fishcraft Hall - 16 2. High Reaches Hold - 5 3. Nabol Hold - 9 4. Tillek Hold 5. High Reaches Weyr
As soon as they slid out of between over Nabol, Theo knew something was wrong. The happy thread of Iweth's delight snapped and shriveled into nothing, a sharp, heart-breaking keen slipping from the bronze's throat—one of their clutchmates (a cousin, but still)... had been lost. What little calm had begun to come over Theo was swiftly lost, the man crying out aloud in shared sorrow with his dragon, and leaving the pair to circle overlong at Nabol, of all places, before slowly calming and daring to consider moving on. Despite Theo's fears, Iweth had never really let himself consider that they might not all make it back.
But Theo had been right, it seemed. And now, no matter how well they did with the rest of the lesson, it would be a sorrowful day, and not a glad one.

Theo and Bronze Iweth
Distraction/Intensity: 2 Exhaustion/Alertness: 4 Memorization/Visualization: 5 Anxiety/Confidence: 2 Slacker/Studious: 5
Grid 1 - Easy Difficulty Level 1. Fishcraft Hall - 16 2. High Reaches Hold - 5 3. Nabol Hold - 9 4. Tillek Hold - 20 5. High Reaches Weyr
Fear could sharpen as well as cow, and it was to Theo and Iweth's benefit (though saying that felt terribly harsh and selfish) that they had... lost... someone already today. When the jump to Tillek came up, Theo double, triple, quadruple-checked his coordinates before they went, forcing his jittery mind to calm stillness and clarity on the mental image of where they wanted to go. When they reappeared this time over yet one more successful location, now with only the leap home to go...
It... it's going to be fine. We're almost done now. Such tragedy, such a loss! Poor Eskharath... the finest of browns! We will mourn him once we reach home. We just have to... get home, first. Oh my Theo! My hearts! They shatter! The bronze was always a dramatic creature, but this time, at least, he really meant his mournful wailing.
