Rikki had heard something on the docks, but couldn't believe it. Tease, her green flit, scolded her for not believing that something had happened at the Benden Weyr. She started up to the weyr to ask around there. It wasn't like her to believe a rumor, but she wanted to know the truth as best she could. Who better to answer her questions than the Riders themselves?
Tease rode on her shoulder as they walked up the path. It was the least she could do to ease the feeling of unrest. None of them would dare...Regardless of beliefs, dragons are needed. She couldn't fathom the reason to kill a dragon by way of the Rider.
