A pair of Gold Riders stood in the Weyrbowl of Benden Weyr one of the two was adjusting the Riding Straps of a large Antique Gold Dragon. Lessa who was the Gold Rider not adjusting the Riding Straps asks, "Are you sure you want to do this Kim? One of the other Riders could."
Kim who was the other Gold Rider still adjusting the Riding Straps on her Gold looks at Lessa and says, "Yes I'm sure Lessa; sure any other Rider could do this, but it's my job to get the Christmas Prayer Riders, plus the other Riders don't know Earth Customs like I do, you know I'm an Earth-Brat so it's better for me to get her."
Lessa sighs the young Gold Rider was right that it was her job to get Lynda as Kim was the one who retrieved the Christmas Prayer Riders like herself, and it was true the other Riders didn't know Earth Customs and she didn't know where the other Christmas Prayer Riders lived now on Pern, she says, "You are right Kim it is your job to get the Christmas Prayer Riders, that's true you're the only Christmas Prayer Rider that I know the location of so you know Earth Customs being that you are what we've officially dubbed Earth-Brats. Just why do you have to go now?"
Kim nods it was true that she was the only Christmas Prayer Rider that Lessa knew where she was located, the others were spread throughout Pern and she sighs and says, "Yes that is true I'm the only Christmas Prayer Rider that you know the current location of the others are spread throughout Pern, I'm the only one residing here. Why do I have to now? Hannarath is suffering without Lynda I don't know how much longer she can wait for Lynda I have to get her now. Hannarath has waited the longest for her Rider it's time for me to go home to Earth and get Lynda, I've never met her, but I read her story so she knows that it happened."
Lessa sighs and says, "I'm glad at least to have you Kim that makes sense that you're the only one I know as you're the only one living here. Yeah I've noticed her hide is graying because of needing her Rider, you know her best as you've cared for Hannarath since Lynda was pulled back. Yeah I know she's waited the longest for her Rider, you just keep yourself and Aleth safe and bring Lynda here, yeah I remember you telling me about reading the story she wrote about this, it's time she knows the truth. Are you wearing your Earth clothing to fit in better?"
Kim smiles and says, "I would've sent for another Christmas Prayer Rider if I wasn't able to do this myself or if one knew Lynda, but no one knows her; yes, her hide is graying because she needs her Rider, yeah I know Hannarath best since I've cared for her since Lynda was pulled back; I promise I will keep us safe, Aleth will stay out of sight until we come back. I'm glad you remember me telling you about reading the story she wrote about this, yeah it's time she knows the truth. Yes, that's why I'm wearing my Earth clothing to fit in better."
She tugs on the straps one more time and she looks at Hannarath and she says I'll be back as soon as I can Hannarath I'm going home to get your Rider. The Gold turned her sad eyes towards the Gold Rider who had been caring for her and she says Thank you Kim, I miss her tell her that please.
Kim nods and says Of course I will Hannarath I will warn you when I'm bringing her /Between/ to come here to you so you don't have to panic not being able to feel her, when I tell you we are coming, come here to the Weyrbowl so you two can reunite. Hannarath says I'm glad you will warn me when you are bringing her /Between/ to come here so I won't panic, I promise I will be there in the Weyrbowl when you get here.
Kim turns to Lessa and says, "I told Hannarath that I'm going to get Lynda now, I will warn her before I take Lynda Between so the Gold doesn't panic and she will come here to the Weyrbowl to be ready to reunite with Lynda."
Lessa smiles and says, "I'm glad you told Hannarath that, I'm glad you will warn Hannarath before you take Lynda Between so the Gold doesn't panic not being able to hear her Rider; I'm glad she will be here in the Weyrbowl for the reunion. Let me know when you've returned I want to see Lynda again."
Kim nods and says, "Of course I will let you know Lessa when we've returned so you can see Lynda again, this time with her Dragon, I will train them together." She quickly mounts her Gold and she gives the image of the Quaker Bridge Mall to Aleth she was hoping that Lynda would be there remembering the story noting that's where she had been when it happened.
She gives the order to Aleth to take to the skies and the large Gold takes to the skies and then slips into Between for the 200 light-year journey to Earth to find Lynda the Christmas Prayer Rider who had been away from her Gold far too long.
