You walk steadly down the halls of the weyr. You look around you, and begin to wonder if maybe you had taken a wrong turn. No matter, you think, someone's bound to be around you. You keep walking, and realize the glow baskets are getting steadily dimmer. Maybe I should turn back..you think. But you keep walking, unable to control your curiousity. You step into the light of the last glowing glow basket and look into the darkness. About 3 dragon lengths away, you can see a very dim light streaming out of a small crack in what seems to be a door. You hold your breath and bolt forward, running as fast as you can to get to the light. I'm not afraid of the dark, you tell yourself. Finally, you reach the barely open doop, and push it open with a slam.

A small girl inside turns suddenly pale and looks at you horrified. Maybe you should have knocked, you think to yourself. After a second, she recovers and looks at you, rather wickedly. "And just WHAT are you doing?! Did I say you could barge into MY weyr and scare the living daylights out of me?! I don't think so!! NOW GET!!!!" she says in a very acid tone. You stumble back, feeling as pale as she looked a minute ago.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to barge in, but it weas so dark out there and I was lost and I thought I'd never get out alive.." you stammer while moving backwards toward the door. She smiles, looking even more wicked than she did before and pulls out a chair. "Go on, sit down. I didn't mean to burst like that, I'm just... a little scared of the dark, you see. And I'm always afriad some strange person is going to burst in and do bad things to me." she says while grabbing a pitcher of klah. She sets it on the table infront of you then turns to light another torch. She turns back to you, letting you see her long brown hair and deep brown eyes. She's really rather short though, you think. Her thin face and slender figure is the only thing that tells you she's not 13 turns old. She smiles again and sits down next to you.

"My name's Casey by the way. And don't look at me like that, I know I'm short! And no, I'm not 13 turns old, I'm 16! I suppose you want to know why I'm here. Well, the weyrlings were getting on my nerves, and the other candidates didn't like me, so the sent me as fa away as they could. I don't mind much, I just get lonely sometimes. Oh course, I'll always have my little Spring and Fall." You look at her quizically, and she laughs. A second later, twofirelizards pop out of between and cheep happily as they fly around her head.



"They land on the table infront of you, scrambling to not knock over the pitcher of klah. She picks them up and sets both of them on her lap and continues. "I'm daughter to a very well known cook in crom. Well, well known there anyway. My mother is the best cook I've ever seen! Of course, I wanted to be a cook just like her, but it's too much work. I would just help around the hold, cleaning and such." she says, looking quite disgusted. "I've not known my father, since he was killed in an accident when I was just 2 turns old. But it's ok, I've never known him, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it. He was a dragonrider, a not so very noble one. He let his dragon over eat, and he would mistreat his green and whenever she was about to fly, my father would always try to get that over with as fast as he could. I don't like my father much, his green fly between and he soon after died. But enough about him, I'm sure you want to hear my search story too, right?" she asks, and you nod.

"Well, like I said, my mother is a very well known cook at Crom, and many dragonriders like to go have her make something for them. And one day, when I was helping my mother serve the food, a really handsome dragonrider looked at me kind of funny. I smiled at him, and after a second he smiled back. Outside, I heard a bugle, and then another, and another until all the dragons were bugling together. I was a little scared, because I thought I did something wrong, but the handsome man got up and told me that I had just been searched. My mother thought it was the greatest thing in the world! But I didn't want to leave...but only because my mother's cooking is very good. But she promised to send me food whenever she could, and I decided to go with the dragonriders. And when they got to know me, or got to hate me I should say, the WeyrWoman gave me this weyr. I'm a candidate at Xaviea Weyr, it's a really nice weyr too! You should check it out! I just hope the eggs hatch soon! I don't like being alone like this!" she says, petting her firelizards absentmindedly.

"Oh, traveller, do you want to see some of my art?" the small girl asks, smiling brightly. You nod, argreeing to look at her work. She crosses her weyr, fetching some papers, and returns. "I only have a couple so far, but I really try hard! I hope you like them!"

"Well, I guess you should be going, it's probably gotten rather late. If you want, I can take you back. I know these corridors pretty well. Is that ok with you?" she asks, and smiles as you nod. "Good, just follow me." she says, getting up and grabbing a fresh glow basket. You follow her out of her weyr and down the corridors, past hundreds of other doors and weyrs. Soon, you find yourself outside again, under the star specled sky. "I guess I should be going too. Good night traveller, I hope you wll come back and visit me agian!" she says, and turns back, heading for her weyr.

There's been an impression! Go see!
