After thread stopped falling many passes went by and thread soon became a legend. The Holds deemed that they should no longer pay tithe to the Dragonriders who had no purpose on Pern. They believed that Thread was a myth and that Dragonriders only served as a burden.
The number of Dragonriders had dropped dramatically and all had moved to Fort Weyr, where the last Golden Queen lived. Only the most traditional of riders believed that thread would one day return and that the Dragonriders would be needed once again.
It was one winter morning when they were proved right, or so they thought. The Red Star did appear in the Pern skies, along with a new green star caught in its gravitational pull. As thread fell the Dragonriders took flight to fight their ancient battle once more. It was during the middle of the battle that another substance from the Green Star began to fall.
This new substance didn’t appear to do anything, until a couple of weeks later the dragons and riders began to get sick, some of them died and a few riders developed unusual abilities. When the Queen clutched all seemed normal, until they hatched. Several new colors appeared that had abilities no one had ever seen before. Even the original colors had developed some new skills.
The Fort Weyrwoman declared them abominations and had them and their riders sent to the Southern Continent. A few of the older riders who had developed abilities took pity on these new dragons and riders and followed them there, knowing that if the Fort Weyrwoman ever saw them again she would declare war on them.
Skysong Weyr was founded in the deep Southern Continent, the high mountains sheltered by tall jungle trees. Three turns have passed since the new dragons and riders have been exiled to the South. Master Scientists have been called in to research the dragon’s new abilities and if it was an effect of the Green Star and if so should they combat it?
A new clutch lays on the sand, lain by the new Queen in Skysong Weyr, Thread and a new substance finally dubbed as Acid for its green color fall from the sky, and finally the Fort Weyrwoman has learnt of the new dragon’s survival and is planning a dragon on dragon war....what else could possibly go wrong? More dragon colors and abilities as the new dragons fight Acid?
Only time will tell….
