World of Pern
Latest Updates

2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Monthly Event
2024-February

Welcome to the Month of Lovetm! This month's Monthly Event is all about Romance, whether it is asking someone out on a date, or getting sweaty between the sheets! Anything and everything counts, if it even looks sideways like it could be related to Valentine Day -- including lover's spats, or breaking up, Flights Wins (or Flight Losses!). Honestly, this month has a huge opportunity for interpertation, so go wild!

Ahh, the fresh snow, the crisp air, the naked trees... welcome to Winter! Or, just the Colder Months for those in the more Northern Weyrs, while Ista is just... not as hot. But it is time to enjoy the end of the Turn, so folks should get together, spend some time gossiping, and drinking Hot Chocolate (alcohol and marshmallows opional)... does Pern even have marshmallows????? (they do now!)

"Good job, son.  I've always thought you should use a firmer hand with your brown."  T'rel's words were soft, the compliment for his son rare and sincere.  He ignored the boy's dragon, though felt Berruth's concern for the horrified brown in the back edges of his mind.  He knew his bronze was aching for the brown, but discipline was always harshest felt when it was being first established.  Indrith would get used to the harsh hand and eventually be the happier for this moment.

No one was more surprised than he when T'ken raised his eyes to meet his father's gaze dead on.  T'ken studied him, and then shook his head.  "No.  I will not turn my brown into another Berruth.  I will not be like you."  T'ken looked visibly rattled, but T'rel was too pissed at him to care.  When his boy turned to walk away, T'rel's hand clamped on his shoulder, turning him around by force.  Indrith bellowed, then trembled from head to toe as he found he couldn't follow through on what he'd been about to do.  Grateful his bronze had finally found his will, T'rel followed through with a punch to T'ken's face.  It landed, T'rel moving to follow through once again.  He would make his boy submit to his will, show him true discipline.

T'ken twisted this time, blocking the punch with his forearm.  T'rel wasn't sure how he wound up on the ground, staring up at the weyrling.  His son gazed down at him with contempt.  "We part ways here.  We're done.  I never want to see you again, and you will never ‘discipline’ me again."  He stepped backwards, T'rel's boy watching him like he was a vicious feline that might or not attack.  "I want nothing to do with you."

His son didn't want anything to do with him.  His son didn't want to be like him.  His son...The angry words had hit T'rel with a force that had surprised him, for all that part of him had been expecting this from the day that greenrider Ravana had planted herself between him and his boy and told him that her would never harm Terken again.  It still hurt though.

Isn't this what you wanted?  For him to break the cycle?  The bronze hesitated, then nuzzled his rider's shoulder.  He didn't know what to say or do, mostly because his rider didn't know what to feel.  He could feel pain threatening to tip over into rage clouding the bond, T'rel's rare self-blame and the desperate struggle to pin blame on someone, anyone else.  For a moment Berruth wanted to offer himself as being to blame, but he couldn't.  H e didn't have the courage to point that rage at himself.  It didn't matter, his bonded would find a scapegoat for this soon. 

T'rel reached up to touch his dragon and nodded.  I did.  But I wanted him to be able to do it because I did, not because some greenriding whore interfered.  Berruth creeled then sighed, withdrawing from his rider's thoughts.  The bronze quietly wished the departing brownrider well, part of him grieving a boy he too had helped raise.  He didn't remember the specifics, but he remembered the love that had once been between boy and dragon.  He thought, if he tried really hard, he could remember a time T'ken had been able to touch him without guilt and pity staining his mind.

The bronze shifted, curling around his rider protectively.  T'rel had wanted to be a good father.  He had genuinely loved his son.  He wished he could make T'ken see that.  He could, but he knew his bonded would likely never speak to him again.  T'rel had never talked to the boy about how he grew up, and Berruth had long thought he should.  No.  He looked at his bonded through an yellow swirling eye and felt T'rel grip his mind tightly.  I won't have it.  You will never tell T'ken.  The bronze yielded to his rider's wishes.  When he looked toward the weyr again, T'ken's form walking away had been reduced to a speck trailed by a smaller and a larger one.
