Riders of Dragonhope Weyr

Weyrwoman Kira on Gold Queen Nozomith

Gold Nozomith, ridden by Weyrwoman Kira

Nozomith is a large, calm and protective dragoness. She lays upon the Sands and raises her head when you enter the chambers. Though there are others in the room it appears that she notices you alone.

Come. See me. It is all right. I will not harm you. Do not touch my eggs, though.

"I... I won't," you stammer. The great gold seems peaceful enough but the shifting colors in her eyes when you approach almost make it look as though she might snap if you get too close.

The big dragoness snuffles all over you, with her great nose. I think you should remain here, with my eggs, or those of another.

"...Really?" You stammer. Amazed, you realize that whether or not you'd been Searched before coming to this Weyr, you were now!

A petite woman wearing leather riding gear trimmed with furs comes around the rocky corner, and smiles at you. "I see you've made Nozomith's aquaintance. She seems to like you. If she didn't you'd be dinner."

Stunned, but realizing that no dragon would purposefully harm a human, you nod mutely. Kira is a tiny woman, barely over four-foot-five. She is especially small considering the size of her dragon - and her weyrleader! You don't ask questions about that though.

"If you'd like to stand we'd appreciate it if you would familiarize yourself with our Weyr," Kira instructs you. She seems young in her face, but you know that she must be in her forties by now.

"I'll do that," you tell her, "thank you." Turning to the beautiful strong gold, you bow, "and thank you too."
