Chapter Title: Ballad of Mourning

Prompt: song

Summary: A song that is not (and will not be) written.

Set after the scene in Dragonflight where Lessa learns to travel through time.

This is written for the same image as Sending for Susurrus, (but not, you will note, the same prompt) because die have limited number of sides, and I had ideas, especially when rereading Dragonflight. (Most of which involves F'lar and varying forms of bodily harm because he is not great. At all. In the first couple of books. So fair warning of what future chapters are going to feature. But I also had an earworm or two, hence this fic.)


Lessa of Ruatha

On Dragon in sky

Child born of Ruatha

Hears no watch-wher cry


Red star still waiting

In darkness of sky

Family not waking

Till the red blades cry


Lessa of Pern

Your dragon must fly

Turn into Turn

Still quicker and spry


A/N: Reuploaded for the nth time, since FF was somehow showing me all three chapters while only the first turned up in the archive. Which is not really the best way to go about things, a mon avis.
