Kim stood in her weyr tugging on the riding straps again on her Silver Dragon and glances at the sleeping male Silver near hers, it was Ryan's Silver; she had told Ryan her plans of trying to find out for herself if Jaxom and Ruth were still alive; with help from the records she had found where Ruatha Hold was located.
She also got images from the older Dragons on what it looked like and so did her Silver Aleth. Aleth nudges her Rider and asks, Why is it so important for you to find Jaxom and Ruth? Kim pats her Silver's side and says I want to know the first White Dragon and Rider love that's why. I've read about the pair I want to know. Aleth says All right mine.
Kim rechecks the straps before mounting her Silver and fastens the riding straps around her before taking a deep breath and focusing on Ruatha Hold and she says All right love let's do this, to Ruatha Hold please. The large Silver bugles and then launches into the air and at the right height she winks between.
3 seconds later the large Silver reappears from between over the Hold and lets out a stunning bugle and then lands. Kim looks around as many Holders gathered around them and Kim removes her riding helmet before looking around and dismounting.
A female approaches the Silver Rider and she asks, "What can we for you today Silver Rider?" Kim looks at the woman and she noted that the woman bore the knots of a Lady Holder and she says, "I'm here trying to find someone from stories." The woman says, "Well you are welcome to look for whoever you wish. Just ask if you need some help."
Kim nods and says, "Thank you. My name is Kim I am from Star Sun Weyr and that's Aleth my Silver." The woman says, "Well then welcome. We don't have many Riders visit us." Kim sighs and says, "Well I'm not a Pern-Born Rider so my curiosity got the better of me." She then removes the riding gear from her Silver and she says Go get some Sun love. The Silver nudges her Rider and went to a nice spot to get some Sun.
Kim then walks trying to remember from the books and the internet Fanfictions where Jaxom and Ruth would be found here. The Lady Holder asks, "Do you know where the person you are looking for could be found here?" Kim sighs and says, "Actually it's two I am looking for, but from the stories I've read one usually is kept in the Wher Dens. However I don't even know if they are alive, everyone knows of them; but no one could tell me if they are alive or not."
The lady holder says, "Well if you'd like I can show you to our Wher Dens." Kim smiles and says, "I'd like that." The woman leads the Silver Rider to the Wher Dens, but asks, "Have you ever seen a White Dragon Kim?" Kim stares at the woman and the question and she nods and says, "Yeah I aided one hatching at Savanath's last clutch the beautiful white impressed my sister. Why do you ask?"
The woman says, "Oh I'm glad you have, I just wanted to know before I took you into the Dens as there is a White Dragon in there." Kim gasps and she says, "Ruth, that's the White Dragon's name isn't it?" The woman nods and says, "Yes it is. How did you know?" Kim laughs and says, "Ruth is one of the two I was looking for, Jaxom is the other."
The woman says, "Well you are in luck Jaxom is in there with his White. How though do you know of them if you aren't Pern-Born?" Kim sighs and says, "Because I'm Earth-Born and Dragonlady Anne McCaffrey wrote of this place and she told of Jaxom and Ruth and I've read her stories."
The woman says, "Well then this way Kim. They always enjoy visitors." Kim nods following the Lady Holder, but she asks, "By chance are you Lady Sharra?" The woman turns around at the question and she says, "Yes I am. Call me Sharra though." Kim smiles and says, "Thanks for telling me. Of course Sharra."
Sharra leads her to the spot where the white was laying and a man was there as well. Sharra says, "Jaxom we have company a Silver Rider from Star Sun Weyr." The man looks up at Sharra's words and he says, "Thanks Sharra." Sharra leaves at that point.
Jaxom moves closer to the Silver Rider and says, "Welcome to Ruatha Hold Silver Rider, I am Lord Holder Jaxom and that's my Dragon Ruth." Kim smiles and says, "A pleasure to finally meet you Jaxom, I am Kim Rider of Silver Aleth, a Jr. Weyrwoman, Wingleader of Vos Wing, and a Journeywoman Harper. I've read about you a lot and Ruth."
Jaxom opens the area to where he was and says, "Won't you come in?" Kim smiles and steps into the spot where Jaxom and Ruth were and she says, "Thank you." Jaxom asks, "Are you not Pern-Born? I ask because Kim is an odd name." Kim laughs and says, "Yeah you are correct I am not Pern-Born. I'm an Earth-Born Rider. It's officially Kimberly, but I prefer Kim."
Jaxom smiles and says, "That is amazing. Wait were you that candidate I heard that J'meson found along the water near Star Sun?" Kim chuckles and says, "Yes that was me and the two felines that Kathryn found on that same area are mine."
Jaxom stares and says, "Oh shards those are yours they are beautiful especially that white one." Kim smiles and says, "Yes they are mine; thank you Thomas is the name of the White Feline and Daisy is the name of the other one." Jaxom smiles and says, "Beautiful names for such beautiful felines. Do you call them felines though where you are from?"
Kim smiles and says, "Thanks. No we call them cats where I come from though some do call them felines. Now what you call canines are Dogs to us." Jaxom smiles and says, "That's amazing. How do you know of me and Ruth though if you are an Earth-Born?" Kim sighs moving towards Ruth and she says, "Because I've read what we call books and you call records by Dragonlady Anne McCaffrey."
Jaxom nods and says, "Oh that makes sense how you know about us. I heard that another White was hatched at Star Sun at Savanath's last clutch. Is it true?" Kim nods and says, "Yes it is true a beautiful female white named Tasyth, she impressed my younger sister named Mary."
Jaxom asks, "Did she need help to hatch or did she do it herself?" Kim says, "I helped her hatch, I heard her crying for help and so did Akadeanna," she pauses and withdraws her Awl that she always kept and says, "There was a story about a White Rider and this was mentioned in it so I had it made for the same reason; it is called an Awl and now all candidates at Star Sun are taught to help any egg that needs help."
Jaxom smiles and says, "I'm glad you helped her hatch and so did Akadeanna. Does it help so it doesn't hurt the little Dragonet?" Kim nods and says, "Yeah it does help without hurting the little Hatchling by using indirect percussion." Jaxom smiles and says, "Good we could use more whites around here."
Kim chuckles and says, "Yeah I know what you mean." She moves closer and rubs Ruth's eyeridges and says It is an honor to meet you Ruth. Ruth was startled as the female spoke and asks, Are you a HAD Miss? I don't know many people who can speak to other Rider's Dragons. Kim chuckles and says No I picked up Akadeanna's gifts to Hear All Animals, I am known to most as Hawk or the Fanfiction Writer Queen Akadeanna Hawk.
Ruth was even more startled and he says So you are Hawk, I've heard a few mention you before, what do you prefer to be called? Kim says I prefer Kim. I know my name seems weird, but I am an Earth-Born woman. Ruth nudges her again and says That is a beautiful name.
Kim smiles and says, Thanks Ruth. You are a very handsome White. Ruth says Thank you Kim. Who do those 2 felines the white one and black and white one belong to? Do you know or has Kathryn not found their owner? Kim was shocked Ruth also knew of her cats and she says Yes Kathryn found who they belong to they are both mine; the white one well on Earth his name was Wesley, but here it's Thomas because of the Gold Rider Wesley Hawk; and the black and white one her name is Daisy.
Ruth says I'm glad they have found their owner finally. Thomas has talked to me saying he missed you very much. Kim nods and says Yeah he told me how much he missed me, but we are together again.
