Slara's Journal


You spot the leather-bound book on a nearby table and ask if you may see it. Slara glances at what you are pointing at. "Oh, sure. Go ahead. I don't mind people going through my things unless I say they cannot. Go on, read."

Entry One
        Father says out journey must continue. I often wonder what we journey for and when it will it. Father lets me ride upon Minth while he walks. I sit on the wool blanket and it makes my legs sweat. If he hadn't insisted that I ride his dragon, I'd be walking alongside Mother, who walks ahead of us . Our scout. The heat is nearly unbearable. My parents say the next Hold will come soon. I hope soon is soon.

Entry Two
        We've reached the Hold and we plan to only spend one night in it. Father says to me where we are going. We are going to the Weyr where he Impressed Minth. He says we'll live there if the new Weyrleader accepts him. He says Mother will work as a cook in the kitchens and make the delious food that gives the Weyr so many visitors. Mother doesn't seem to like the idea very much.

Entry Three
        We've reached Father's Weyr. I haven't been writing, I know. The days go by so quickly now, I haven't found the time. The Weyrleader and Weyrwoman have accepted us with open arms. The Weyrwoman was going to make Mother headwoman, since she was lacking one. Mother and Father argued for a long time but Mother finally became Headwoman. Father is a Weyrlingmaster. He has begun my teachings already. He says I'll Impress one day and become a Weyrwoman. I told Mother. She says he dreams too much.

Entry Four
        I am upset, which explains the wetness of this page. Father was teaching a class to go between and he got stuck. His students got out safely, but he didn't. He was no where to be seen. He's gone. Vanished. Poof. Ciao. Mom didn't cry at his ceremony. But I knew she was crying on the inside. I was too, but I let it out. I'm not sure if she has yet.

Entry Five
        It has been a while since my last entry because I have made lots of friends. The son and daughter of the Weyrleader are my best friends, as well as some weyrlings. Since I've been with Uxer and Aleda, the Weyrleader has seen me and said I had the potential to Impress. Maybe I shouldn't have made friends with Uxer and Aleda. This is certainly a lot of work. I've started weyrling classes and even some private classes with the Weyrleader himself. He's looking for somewhere I can get Searched, since his wife's queen cannot rise again. He hopes I'll Impress a gold and become a Junior Weyrwoman. I laughed when he said he and his wife were too old to continue.

Entry Six
        The Weyrleader has found a Weyr. He tried to get me searched, but failed. He's going to try again and brought me two firelizards as an apology. I thanked him until my voice was gone. He got be a blue and a gold, whom I've named Miric and Eliz. Funny little critters, they are.


Ask more about Slara's history. Pick up the nearby leather bound book or ask how Slara was Searched. Bid her clear skies and walk out Karath Weyr or ask to explore her weyr.
