Oscurnesu's Weyr
|
Thirteen flights of staris lead you to the open maw of a large cavern. Your breathes come quick and shallow as the thinning air assaults your lungs and your exercise catches up slowly. You bend double for several minutes until you catch your breath and adapt to the new altitude. Your ears must have popped three times on the way up! Moaning low, you let your curiosity get to you and you enter the cavern. A fierce crosswind whips at you as you pass through the entrance, finally calming down as you make you way out onto the ledge-like weyr. A gigantic, flat are unfolds before you, its edges preceding a sharp drop all the way down the mountain. You gulp hard and make a pact with yourself that you will not look over the edge. Scimming the far wall, you search for the inhabitant of the weyr and find it in a pile of blankets against the wall on which you lean. The blankets contain an egg and are secured to the ground and wall. You suppose the normal sandy nesting place would easily be blown away by the strong winds this high up. You are buffeted by this wind as you go to identify the type of Dragon the egg may belong to. It's pattern, color, and size tell you it is none other than a Sarilan Dragon from the Mountains of the Shadow Adoption Centre. You now know why the altitude is so...well...high. Sarila Dragons are a mountainous breed, loving the wind and air of a mountaintop weyr over any other. With a suddenness that surprises you, the wind again picks up, blowing dark grey clouds thick with humidity across the lip of the cavern. A storm is coming. It is probably already pouring at the base of the mountain. With a determined decision not to remain here and be hit by lightning or drown by rain (though you are too high in the storm, and sheltered enough that neither will happen), you move quickely along the wall, into the dry, long corridor of waiting stairs.... |
