1. Chapter 1

Ch 1: Prologue

This has been an idea that I've been chewing on for a while – it was also the idea that finally prompted me to make a FF account, rather than just being anonymous like always. Anyway! This story is going to be a crossover between Fairy Tail (which I love) and the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey (which I also love, though I haven't read most of the series outside of the big 6 originals). If you've never read any of them, I would definitely recommend checking out Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon (the 3 that started it all) and Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums (They're just fantastic. Trust me).

Anyway (again), here's a quick little teaser/prologue thing. The next chapter should start the actual story, and have some notes about how the world is being adapted.

*ahem* Enjoy~

Of all the planets in the solar system, the galaxy, and even the universe, only a select few a habitable, and those few all have some common characteristics. Land masses separated by bodies of water; an atmosphere to contain life; climate and local weather patterns; various types of life forms. Humanity thinks it knows what to expect.

But when they actually end up searching for a new home, what happens when they discover things beyond their understanding, different from anything encountered in their native land of Fiore? Strange, pulsing stars that herald death and destruction; alien thread-like spores that fall from the sky like deadly rain, instantly eating any natural material; and strangest of all, sentient lizards that can jump between points in space with nothing but a mental image, and that form telepathic bonds with certain people – bonds that link the pairs for the purpose of destroying the deadly Thread that threatens to erase all life on the planet.

When confronted with all these things, you could expect society to… change, somewhat. The explorers of the new planet adapt their own beliefs, lifestyles, and even languages and customs in order to prosper on the new planet. This is a story of the descendants of the pioneers, and of the type of culture that has developed.

This is a story of the Dragon Riders of Pern.

Or, as some of them like to call themselves… the Fairy Riders of Pern.
