Let me sing a song

[Jenth]

Inolyn's mind wandered even more so since she had been here at the weyr but the imagination of every pernese child must have floated here at some point. This was the place of the home of the mighty dragons, the pernese dream to be swept off here to stand infront of the eggs and find your perfect partner, who would stand by your side for life even in the waves against the deadly meanace the would soon threaten their lives; the life feeding Thread...

The young harper girl had seen them! The eggs of the ever so important clutch! This was her big chance to live the dream! To dedicate her life to the life of another, to be forever joined in body and mind... Almost sounded lke marraige in that way, but it would be oh so much more of an impact on her life! Oh there had to be a song to express her feelings right now! if none came to mind she would just have to wite one herself! She wasn't that bad a composer.

It was a nice afternoon, her chores long over for the day so why was she inside?! Picking up the small harp she had brought along with her few personal belongings she raced out into the Weyr bowl to find a nice little spot to sit, strum, dream...

It took a while to strum the right few notes to get tings started, the words flowing with the tune. Her thoughts, her heart, her whole soul was singing...

In a cavern wide and deep
Great eggs of dragons rest
Sitting, waiting, dormant, still
Upon their sandy nest

Over them she hovers
Their mother, golden queen
Waiting for her eggs hatch
Brown, blue, bronze and green

But carefully she hides it
A glory for all behold
Closely she holds it near
The shell of dragon gold

Another Pass draws closer
Candidates please stand brave
Impress your fated friend so dear
For all of Pern’s to save…

It was a good first draft, wishing she had something to write it down on. Did it really matter that no one would hear this song? It was her special melody...

If Inolyn listened closely, she would hear the sound of humming that almost matched her tune. Mika hovered nearby, her eyes whirling a happy blue-green as she tried to hum along to the song.

Mieran, meanwhile, was searching the weyrbowl for his green fire-lizard. He finally spotted her hovering alongside a girl holding a harp. "Mika!" He called, but she didn't answer. She wanted to hear more music! Mieran chuckled and hurried over, holding out an arm for Mika. The green perched, but clearly didn't want to leave yet.

"I see you've met Mika. She's a music lover," Mieran said, grinning at the other candidate. "I'm Mieran. Are you a Harper as well as a candidate?"

[Jenth]

"oh!" Inolyn said with a jump, she didn't know anyone was here. Swirling around she saw the boy and her flit standing hear, the green fireliazard looking awfully happy. There had always been a number of them around the hall but no one knew if they all were bonded or wild. "Yes, I'm a harper. An apprentice but still harper nother the less."

She stood up and offered her hand to Mieran, the harp securely inder the other arm. 'I'm Inolyn, nice to meet you both. My song wasn't too rough was it?"

[kandykat]

((Mieran is a boy, not a girl. xP I'm assuming that's a typo.))

Mieran grasped Inolyn's hand briefly and shook it gently, then let go. Mika hopped up to his shoulder. "Oh, I see. I'm a Healer apprentice myself." He reached up, stroking Mika's bright green hide as he regarded Inolyn.

"I didn't hear too much of it, but Mika seemed to really like it, so I'd say no," he answered with a small smile. "Did you write the song yourself?"

[Jenth]

((oops...fixed it anyway))

"Oh, so you own a flit too! I personally don't, but it seems quite a few of the other candidates do." It was actually nice to see to tiny creatures around. For them it was a ray of hope to Impressing their larger relation; a dragon and the reason they were all here.

"Yes, i worte it myself! I thought it's missing something but that may be that i don't normaly play and sing at the same time..." Actually she didn't do more then sing half the time but she wouldn't tell. "But i wrote it about Nayarath and her clutch, but since didn't mention her by name it could be used for any dragon clutch. As long as it has a queen egg though."
