Welcome to Gaia! ::

J'rel felt the wave of pain and shot out his door. He knew that Lintana must be weighted down heavily right now...after all, every dragon can speak with her. He took off at a full run to find her.

Z'Arian, you must go. Now. Lintana has called the riders to come to the main hall. It's urgent. I'll stay here with Umbrielth. You take Esiel and find out what's going on. "Right." Z'Arian squeezed Eisel's hand. "Come on love, Lintana wants all riders in the main hall. I guess it's very urgent." He stood and held his hand out o her. "When we're done, we can talk more, ok my dear?"


J'rel slid to a halt and spun on his heals. He had to get to the main hall. He'd find Lintana there, his dragon told him so. He nearly fell over and had to brace himself against the wall. He took off at a dead fun and burst through the doors.

Z'Arian watched as she took of. He felt horrible for her. He knew that the death was very hard on her. He'd have to make sure to comfort her as much as he could. He would stay with her tonight and have a hand on her through the night so she knows he's there for her....Enough thinking though. He took off after her and tore through the weyr, slipping around people who looked shocked. He slid in through the door and found Esiel and went to stand near her. He met her eyes and gave her a comforting smile.

J'rel strode by the two riders standing against a wall. Those two have so much stress on them... Just being told they are to lead a new weyr...now this.... He sighed. He looked around and found Lintana. He took off at a faster pace and went up to her. "I take it Pern is in trouble?"

Z'Arian turned and took Esiel's hand. "Let's go get you in bed. I'll stay with you tonight...no I'll not be persuaded otherwise. I'll be there with you in case you need something. I know you're hurting, and I won't leave you alone." Truth was, he was hurting too. If Benden weyr had so many sick, he was sure that it could be affecting an old rider friend of his. R'kel wasn't a young rider. He'd trained Z'Arian in some swordsmanship and taught him how to smith. He was old and vulnerable to sickness. Vrätoth, don't leave your mate. Eisel is hurting bad and we need Umbrielth as at ease as we can get. He took her back to his weyr and motioned for her to take the bed. "You can have the whole bed if you want, otherwise get comfortable and I'll take what's left." He gave her a quick kiss and went to unbuckle his sword and kick off his boots.

J'rel nodded and put an arm around Lintana. "You need rest as well. Come on." He motioned for her to go ahead and then said, "I'll be there in a while, I need something hot to drink."

Eisel stood still for a moment, rather lost. She needed to talk to Lintana in the morning, she reminded herself. She needed to glean as much information about the symptoms and signs of the sickness so she could try to prepare. This ran through her mind absently, as though her thoughts had been put on autopilot. She sank slowly to the bed, deciding that was what she ought to do. All her actions seemed belated and stiff. She wasn't sure what to do, really. She slipped her shoes off thoughtfully and drew her feet up under her.

Perth slowly calmed down and stared at Lintana with his one eye. Lintana wrinkled her brow. She looked at Perth's other eye and saw there was no eye, only a long scar. "When did you do this?..." A wound like that would have taken at least a month to heal properly before he should be popping in and out of between. She noticed his scales were duller than usual. "Your not Perth from my time..."She closed her eyes and thought slowly. "Tell me, slowly, why you are here" Perth shot over a jumble of images, but slow enough that Lintana could see them all. She caught one of a meeting between teh weyrleaders, all but T'Kla. Then she caught Saterth and Umbrielth with their eggs, there were six queens between the whole batch. Another image of herself being yelled at by cove holds leader. Then she caught an image of herself in bed, feverish. The last image she caught was a bunch of berries and needle thorns. Somehow relatng to the cure. She wasn't able to catch all of it before Perth zipped up and disapreared into between. Lintana opened her eyes as her vision spun. So much in such a short time.

Lintana jumped up, surprised that J'rel was there already. "You...you have to stay away from me. Get out!"Lintana only saw one conclusion to keep the rest of the weyr free from this new sickness, and that was to keep everyone away.
Saterth raised her head and watched Lintana slightly confused.
