The keening stretched on and on. The equivalent of a human sobbing, only louder and shared by all of the nearby dragons.((Not your fault!)) Nykantiath insisted, crooning sadly.

We all feel for you. We understand.)) -- "Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving safely in a prettily preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways in a shower of gravel and party shards, thoroughly used, utterly exhausted, and loudly proclaiming: "F*** ME, that Rocked!!" -unknown Whizzy: Jerzy Aim: Yue146

A moment later Foreth added, ((Someone...someone is with mine. They're outside the Caverns on the inside.))

The man looked oddly like him, but T'rif had no reason to think they were related or had even ever met. The words caught him off guard and he frowned with confusion.
"Excuse me?"

((I'm...I'm sorry,)) she cried to Nykantiath, Talith, and Truenoth. The mental voice as broken as the howling keens.

((I'm going there Foreth, tell her I am coming, Healers are coming)), K'ren said. ((The dragons are helping you protect your Eggs, the Eggs are safe.)) ((Kaith love, to the temporary weyr by the caverns)) he asked his lifemate. ((You will find her.)) Kaith reassured. ((Might need others there)) he answered grimacing a the devastation.

"ACM and Candidate counselor T'rifoshe, yes," he said formally just inT'rif was surprised to see a man on the otherside. A full grown rider. He wondered if the man was a father to one of the Candidates and was coming to yell. case this was someone coming to yell. Best to remind them of his position as more than just a bronze rider. "How can I help you?" << M'gil had so much he wanted to say, had spent the last couple of days since they arrived working on his speech in his head but suddenly he felt like a first turn apprentice again under that gaze. A gaze he knew well and has seen every time he caught his reflection in the water. It was the one think Kiriona promised him came from his dad, came from T'rifoshe and he supposed she was right. "Sir my name is M'gil, formerly Megil, now of bleu Tulioth and Jm Harper and..." and ya there was more he had practiced he knew it, but suddenly it was just all gone. It was probably everything that had happened recently, but he just couldn't keep it up right now and instead after a pause just added a "Did you just not like me?" *Kouga* Join the Aywas fun - http://aywas.com/register.php?ref=768 "My personality is 30% the last anime I watched." - Tumblr "Remind me never to get out our bad side.

Re: A Queen's Panic and Heartbreak atten: Andronda/Foreth/ALL
((Foreth, I am here- and we are so, so sorry...)) Sunstreath called, the bronze unusually quiet even as he kept up his mourning keen.
Sekerth, perched near Lileth, joined in as the green started to keen, the brown's eyes whirling in shock and sorrow.

Now Foreth could hear her, but she was too caught up in her shattered heart to respond right away. The only consolation was that her two gold eggs weren't among the casualties. The sound of her grief was absolutely heart breaking.Nykantiath wrapped the gold in a mental hug. She had no words to offer the grieving mother, only a strong mental shoulder to lean and cry on, since she couldn't physically get into the caverns to offer a real shoulder. -- "Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving safely in a prettily preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways in a shower of gravel and party shards, thoroughly used, utterly exhausted, and loudly proclaiming: "F*** ME, that Rocked!!" -unknown Whizzy: Jerzy Aim: Yue146

The sound of her grief was absolutely heart breaking. ((They...I...I...)) Foreth couldn't even finish the private sentence to Nykantiath. Truenoth had not known, not until Foreth did. He could not see... Still, he could see nothing. But even with the searing sorrow of the loss of their babies, he still had to comfort Foreth, their mother. ((You are not to blame. This was not your fault,)) he insisted firmly. If someone had *done* this, whoever it was, Truenoth would make certain they faced justice, whatever it took.

From where they sat, trying not to add to the chaos, Selenyth and Nithroith lent their voices to the keen for the lost.

The HAD's voice penetrated when little else did. She didn't stop bugling her head off but she sent a quick reply, ((Please, please save mine. MINE!)) Thank Faranth she had responded. KAith was ready to glide him where he needed to be. ((Foreth, we will. Where was she...it's important, I need to find her to help her.)) Had she been at the caverns herself or in a weyr?

Foreth tried to take stock. Hers was going to be taken care of. Now to think about the eggs. The eggs...Dread rushed through her and she carefully moved to see the eggs she'd been on, easier said than done with there other dragons in the Caverns. Tag turned back to panic and terror as she realized that some of the eggs had been smashed. Worse, now that she could think she could feel and remember where she'd...she'd...stepped on at least some, if not all of them.Oh. *Oh.* That grief was unbearable, and the sound had Andronda in tears immediately. She felt it rush through her from Nykantiath - the eggs, the gold said - some had been lost. The woman choked back a sob as she finally reached the scene. She needed to help, somehow, but she didn't know just what to do. Nothing in her training had really prepared her for *this* sort of thing. ((Foreth?)) Nykantiath queried, voice soft and gentle. ((I'm here for you, Foreth. I grieve with you.)) -- "Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving safely in a prettily preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways in a shower of gravel and party shards, thoroughly used, utterly exhausted, and loudly proclaiming: "F*** ME, that Rocked!!" -unknown Whizzy: Jerzy Aim: Yue146

Re: A Queen's Panic and Heartbreak atten: Andronda/Foreth/ALL
Elloryth, Lileth, and Travath on opposite sides of the Weyr all took up the keening note, adding their own individual voices to the grieving anguish. The death of dragons, even those unhatched, was a pain the entire Weyr shared. It mattered naught how it had happened nor where each of them came from, only that dragonkin had perished. Their kin. An unmistakable tragedy.

Sunstreath landed, short of the Caverns, and added his voice to the rising keening, the need to find the attacker eclipsed by the grief of what Foreth's keen meant.

"Oh, hi, Kalin!"
Up alongside the guard and his wher came the fourteen year old newbie, puffing noisily from the run to catch up. Giselle's voice had been chipper and warm; her expression, however, was badly contained concern and earnest curiosity. "Is this it? Are we being attacked? What's going on, sir?"

Vayka very gently laid a hand on Kassia's belly andleft it there a moment. Feeling for movement. She didn't feel any contractions. So good on that so far.
"Your baby seems fine. Let's get you cleaned up a little, and we'll do everything we can to make it stay that way." She poured some water onto clean rags and began softly cleaning the weyrwoman's face so she could check what exactly had been hurt, also taking note of her eyes for possible concussion. -- Have fun with any of my characters.
