Author's Note
I do not own the Dragonriders of Pern.
Desiree Aimah Flameheart had simply vanished, as though her firelizards had managed to blink her between. Jalenna had never heard of that happening before.
"Where do you think she went?" asked Zoveanan.
"I… don't know," replied Jalenna, as bewildered as everyone else there.
Desiree awoke with a splitting headache. She lifted a delicate hand to her head and rubbed at it, puzzled. The last thing she remembered was the blow, and pain, and begging her beloved firelizards to help her-
And then what?
She remembered wanting them to take her somewhere safe.
So was that where she was now?
She touched her side to make sure her Mysterious Book was still safe and pushed herself up. Starlight Twinkle, Moonbright Light, and Sunrise fluttered around her.
"You saved me," she cooed as they darted down to land on her, trilling softly.
Silver flashes shone in the near distance. Desiree shielded her beautiful eyes with one slender hand. Her firelizards shrieked defiance and gave her images of Thread.
Thread falling!
She glanced around, but this was a barren and rocky land, devoid of any shelter. Desiree sprang to her fit and slender legs and started to run.
Starlight Twinkle, Moonbright Light, and Sunrise lived happily ever after.
