I went home. Finally. It took a bit longer than most everyone else but I admit, I was afraid. There were so many questions and I was afraid of the answers I might find.
Eridella knew who I was before B'jin and I had even made it to the group that had watched us approach. I guess two large dragons does tend to attract attention. But she knew. It was one of the best moments of my life to have her in my arms again. I missed her so much and even with the time apart, she still looked and acted like the sister I knew so long ago. Although I'm a bit worried about the friendship that popped up almost immediately with her and B'jin. The trouble those two could cause is rather frightening!
My mother is still amazing as well and despite her age, she still seems to be doing well.
Pendalier is now the lord of the Hold though. He is still very much Pendalier as well. Extremely dedicated to the seacraft and more business than pleasure in my dear brother.
And my father passed away months ago.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. It was one of those questions that I had. Would I still have parents? Would they have disowned me even if they lived? How would I be welcomed? I wasn't entirely shocked that he died but...
I think I'm angry.
How is he supposed to know now that I made the right choice? That I'm a dragonrider, a Searchrider, an occasional Assistant Weyrlingmaster? That I found something I'm passionate about? That I'm not an embarrassment because I didn't want to spend my life fishing?
I know, though, so I guess that's all that's supposed to matter.
