A'rist
Contents
Description
Standing four of five inches shy of six feet, not overly good-looking nor remarkably ugly, and a study in browns, A'rist is a good one for getting lost in a crowd. Hooded light-brown eyes give him an air of calm, if only on account of their shape. Klah-brown hair brushes his ears and grows longer down the back of his neck. His tan face still has some of the roundness of boyhood, and his frame still lacks some of the muscle of a fully grown man. But he's just impressed a bronze and hit puberty; it's only a matter of time.
WYSK
- Those from High Reaches Weyr may have known A'rist as Aoristen, the kid who helped take care of the herd and stables.
- A'rist impressed Lythronath, the first-hatched bronze, who broke shell at the same time as a brown, blue, and green, thereby screwing up many wagers.
- Lythronath is a bit of a, let's say primal, dragon, who causes and gets into lots of trouble, and is well known to the dragonhealers.
History
Aoristen came to the Weyr at age ten with his father, then a posted a beastcrafter. After four turns, the father was re-assigned, but the son declared he wanted to stay. Aoristen made himself useful in the stables and with the feed herds. The next gold flight was Iesaryth's, who was caught by Fort Weyr's Vhaeryth. Aoristen asked to stand for the clutch almost immediately after the first egg hit the sands. A group of four eggs hatched simultaneously, the first four of the clutch, and from one of them came bronze Lythronath. Aoristen was become A'rist. Lythronath was 'not like other dragons', and the young bronzerider spent most of their weyrlinghood trying to find a balance between what dragonriders should be, and what he and Lythronath were. In weyrlinghood, Lythronath destroyed countless cots and pillows (there are still feathers occasionally floating through the barracks, tore open A'rist's leg with a talon, and then later, injured a Fort Weyr bronze in a green flight (Lythronath's first ever). Though A'rist learned more control (and prevention) as they grew, Lythronath was still able to break Cadejoth's wing in the younger bronze's first attempt at a leadership flight, where he only narrowly missed catching Hraedhyth. Although they have shown their usefulness (for example, managing to track down pirate ships on open water), their slips into primal destruction have not yet fully stopped (for example, destroying one such pirate ship on a primal bender). A'rist keeps trying to find a place for himself and Lythronath at the Weyr, and to salvage a bit of his own humanity amidst Lythronath's savagery, but it remains a rocky road.
Relationships
- Lythronath: We're bound by blood, and I'm starting to understand just what we're capable of. I should be scared, but deep down, I'm not.
- Azaylia: You understand more about Lythronath than anyone else. Maybe if you stopped thinking of me as such a kid, you'd understand how close to terrible we really are. Maybe I don't want you to.
- Edyis: I don't know what it is you think you can learn from me and Lythronath. Part of me still wonders if I could learn anything from you, but I don't think it would be what either of us want.
- G'laer: I don't think it'll ever be like it was before.
- Ghena: You'd be nicer to be around if you weren't such a know-it-all. I'm almost glad my dragon's not as boring as yours. I don't know what I'd do with my time.
- H'vier: You never got what it was like. But I don't think either of us owes the other one anything.
- K'del: I know that every time you do something for us, you're taking a chance. I don't want to let you down. I wonder if you know how crucial it is that we find a way to belong here.
- Klohi: You're such a girl. Still, I wish I could tell you Lythronath is sorry for what he does, but he never is. I tried to tell you I'm sorry for what I did, but I don't think you got it.
- L'sha: If you're scared of us now, maybe that's for the better. But it's not what I wanted.
- R'hin: If you have something to say to me, just say it. To me.
- Rh'mis: Lythronath wouldn't pick on you if you'd stop pretending to be what you aren't anymore. Half of me thinks you deserve it.
- Telavi: You seem nice, but I wish you wouldn't act like I'm stupid sometimes. I'm not.
- Quinlys: I wish I could be as confident as you are that my dragon's doing what he's supposed to.
- Ulyana: You've impressed a monster, too. I don't understand yet how they can be so the same and so different.
- V'ros: This is what brothers feel like. The good and the bad.
