Semi Literate to Literate RP, though I understand writers blockA terrible sickness is spreading through the planet of Pern. Desperate and losing options, the Fort Weyrleader decided it was time to open the back rooms of the Weyr, rooms that had been closed off since the colonists first landed. In them they found many strange things, including ancient maps and charts of the skies. Simmarrah had an idea. What if she went between time to when the ancients first landed so that they could stop the sickness before it even started. She stole one of the star maps, and placed its coordinates in her mind. She had heard of other riders timing it, it was forbidden and dangerous, but she was confident of their skill. What she and her queen did not know as they slipped between was that the star map wasn't of ancient Pern but of OldEarth.
When the pair arrive from between they find themselves in the year 2015 on a strange new world full of amazing fascinating things!

Intro PostThe pitch black cold of
between went bone deep, encasing them in claustrophobic nothingness. Simmarrahs fear grew as the usual 15 seconds of darkness stretched into minutes. The only thing she could feel was warmth of Alimikes scaly skin beneath her gloved fingertips. Her breathing quickened and her heart began to race. Had she been wrong? Had she forever trapped them between, flying the dark depths until they starved to death, or died from the crippling cold?Alimike reached out to her riders mind.
<Itll be OK. I trust you.>
Simmarrah was worried. Her friends voice was faint, not the usual vibrant tones that rang through her head.
Are you OK my love? <I'm just getting tired...> With a sigh the dragon began to pass out. Simmarrah screamed her name, no sound escaping from her lips. They fell through the darkness. Suddenly, light bursts all around Simmarrah. She raises her arm to cover her eyes, blinded by the sudden transition. The woman can feel the sun on her face, the sharp snap of her hair in the wind. She laughs in relief: they were out! They weren't going to die in darkness!
Her exuberance quickly vanishes as she looks around her. The land stretches out below them, shades of green and brown showing the outline of the a forest. They were obviously several miles above the earth, and falling towards its surface.
"Alimike! Ali, wake up!" screamed Simmarrah, both aloud and in her dragons mind, as they plummeted. Her dragon was unresponsive, her mental presence nonexistent.
Simmarrah pummeled her dragon with her fists, trying to wake her. The dragons mind stirred, and she began to react to her rider. Simmarrah could only scream as they fell, the earth getting closer. Alimike back winged two or three times, trying to slow their descent.
They slammed into the trees, branches and twigs shattering around them. The pair crashed hard into the soil, Ali landing awkwardly on her side. The dragon lay where she landed, her eyes half closed. Simmarrah sat in the saddle, stunned. Her arm was at an awkward angle, and a few of her ribs felt cracked. She struggled to release the leg ties on her saddle, and then slipped off her dragons back. Crying out in pain and fear, the dark haired girl stumbled to her dragons head. "Alimike my love, are you hurt? Please answer me!" She sobbed into her neck, there was no response from the golden dragon.
Simmarrah head began to spin and she grew dizzy. Blackness seeped in around her and she collapsed over her dragons neck.
Who will find the dragon? Where will she lay her eggs? Who will become the new modern day dragon riders? What kind of laws will they have to pass? What will the government do?
There could be a very good storyline here, I'd just need others interested in doing it with us.
We currently need a few humans right now, possibly a government official or two. Eventually your human will get a dragon when the eggs hatch!
Just PM me if you're interested!the thread
