It was midday by the time the call came: ~Riders and dragons of Tropical Cove Weyr! Assemble in your wings for going out!~

And noone had to ask what going out meant... they where off to fight Fall.

********
"We are off all the way to Winston Seahold today. The Fall is expected to be an easy one, but beware of the winds that can be created near the seahold cliffs!" each wings wingleader instructs.
"Get an extra bag of stone and we will be off!"

With that the wingleaders returns to their dragons and five minutes later the wings get the orders to take off and leave.

********
T'ker turns towards his little group of weyrlings. "Right. Today is more your graduationday then the feast in the dining hall was. Today is the real thing. Thread will not give you room to make errors. Now, keep in mind all you have been though -let your dragon handle the flaming and you consentrate on being on the lookout for erratic strands of Thread you both might have to Between away from. Always keep a patch of blue sky fixated firmly in your mind in case the two of you needs to jump" he instructs, looking slightly worried. Not over himself, but over the rookies.
"Since this Fall is predicted to be a short one, we are fighting as a wing on our own today and not as firestone ferries. So gear up and follow!"

T'ker mounts Kelth and the brown takes off. He circles above the weyrbowl waiting for them to catch up then passes on the image they are to Between to.
---
Well over the seahold Kelth leads them low, gliding in just under the Ocean Wing and above and ahead of the Queens wing. The Forest wing was as usual the highest wing.


((Hm, I need to figure out some way to run Fall so it is interactive despite the majority of riders being NPCs. Any ideas? Otherwise, just post fighting Fall and I will write a little someone about who gets killed and end this in the next 1-2posts or so.))

~Fighting Fall~

Lirael and Purple Osareth

Selene and Black Lillith

Biadora
The winds picks up in mid-fall and makes the normally dangerous occypation to even more hazardous.

Lirael and Purple Osareth -Your dragon hits turbulence and you suddenly just drop about 50ft out of the middle of formation and have to explain yourself..

Selene and Black Lillith -Perform a perfect 7 point skip between and flame sequence much to the amazement of your fellow riders


Therana and ataz Kellynth- You see a NPC dragonrider hit by a tangle and eaten horrifically before your eyes. They veer towards you and between just as they are about to collide with your dragon.

Horrified Therana and Kellynth witness Ariana and ember Vardath get hit by a tangle of dense Thread. Noone gets time to do anything, yet as Vardath creels out pain she also veers, seemingly going straight for the ataz and her rider.
Therana's mind freezes in shock and for several horrifying moments she can't think.
"Home!" she suddenly calls out, picturing the weyrbowl in her mind.
Kellynth leaps, just a split second after Vardath, into Between.

The pair reappears over the weyrbowl and after some additional moments of panic frensy of checking that they still are alive, the pair returns to their wing.

Indra and cloud Niennath-A big mass of smoking ash blows back and totally ruins your flight jacket, though you and your dragon are unscathed.

Indra and Niennath suddenly finds themselves involved in a thick dark cloud of smoke. Caughing, and very worried that there still might be some bits of active Threadspores left among the black mass, Indra directs Niennath to dive, to avoid the cloud.
The pair soon comes out of the darkness, but upon her return to the weyr later Indra will notice that her jacket and pants are totally ruined and that she has to take time from her busy schedule to make new gear for herself.

Rayne and blue Myrth, R'ef and amber Autumth, S'pyke and shifting Terratoth -gets badly scorched and returns back to the Weyr.

Ariana and ember Vardath, W'ket and half-moon Dazeth, T'rian and sky Tulkath-gets killed in this Fall.

Lirael and Purple Osareth -Your dragon hits turbulence and you suddenly just drop about 50ft out of the middle of formation and have to explain yourself..

The wind picking up makes it even harder for Osareth, normally a strong and stable flyer, to stay in formation. Suddenly, a large patch of turbulence causes her to drop out of formation and fall towards Pern. ~Pull up, 'Reth!~ Lirael cries, tightening her hold on the fighting straps. ~I'm trying, Mine!~ Osareth replies, beating her wings strongly. She spits flame at a tangle of Thread, and then makes her way back to her position in her Wing.

Selene and Black Lillith -Perform a perfect 7 point skip between and flame sequence much to the amazement of your fellow riders.

Selene and Lillith disappear Between, re-emerging in the real world a few dragonlengths away, flaming directly at a clump of Thread and neutralising the threat, startling the other Weyrlings and their dragons.

*R'huk come we are assembling.* R'huk dashed about his room flinging on his gear and strapping up Arrowth, then he vaulted upon his back. *Let's go then. No use waiting around here.*Arrowth launched of his Weyrledge and flew to where the Forest wing was assembling. He listened to D'rins instructions. He grabbed an extra bag of stone and got ready to be aloft checking his equipment one last time. R'huk and Arrowth were both beginning to feel the excitment that fighting fall always brought to the pair. Getting in formation they took off and went between to Winston Seahold, they were flying highest as usaul. *Where the most action is.* Arrowth said in good spirits.
R'huk nodded they both got a wild reckless thrill as when they seared Thread. Arrowth spurted out a decent sized flame and seared a patch of Thread that had conviently decided to fall right in front of him. *The wind is picking up, Arrowth, be careful.* *All make the adjustments.* Arrowth responded quickly pondering how to use the flow of air for the better. *Look at that.* *Don't look around now, concentrate on what your doing I don't want to lose my other eye!* *Perfect formation, Lillith.* He practically shouts, deeply impressed by her perfect move. *Focus...* *I am focusing!* Arrowth responded, adjusting his aim and charring some Thread that had almost slipped between their ranks.

R'huk and red Arrowth- Have a successful flight and come out unscathed.


After another hour the last of the spores are finally cleared from the skies. The wingleaders gives the word and the dragons are to return home to the Weyr.

A couple of hours passed mostly with silence between R'huk and Arrowth except for the occasional comment or snipe at each other. Nothing drastic or deadly had come there way this fall, and besides performing some routine moves flawlessly there was no daring displays for today. By the time the fall had ended both dragon and rider were unscathed and relatively pleased, after all they had flown well and they wouldn't get their ear talked off by the Wingleader about injuries. *Let's go back then. You've deserved a good scrubb and a meal, my friend.* *As have you my rider.*
