Harper strike and soldier go
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes
From atop her gold dragon Samoreth, perched on a high cliff, Thayilli looked down upon the sweeping vistas of her beloved land of Pern. Craggy mountain spires, long valleys, meandering rivers. With a powerful stroke of her wings, Samoreth took flight south toward Arolos Weyr.
They flew over the the weyr bowl, a submerged dead volcano crater, and across the surrounding protectorate before circling and landing in the dragonriders yard.

"Hello Thayilli!" cried K'ressa as the yound dragonrider Thayilli dismounted Samoreth. K'ressa was another dragonrider several years older and the two had become good friends. "How was your patrol?"
As yard runners removed Samoreth's saddle, the dragon telepathically communicated to Thayilli. "Good riding friend. Until tomorrow."
K'ressa walked with Thayilli into the massive cave that was a gathering place for riders. On one wall was a massive tapestry map of the northern continent of Pern.
