Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

Hanalei was nose-deep in a scroll that Lesley had leant her when the bronze fire lizard on her lap suddenly jerked into an alert posture and hopped off her lap. He sat stiffly and stared out into space with wide-eyed intensity. She was reaching for him worriedly when a blast of cold air signaled the arrival of another fire lizard, a very large brown carrying a pouch that should have been far too big for him to lift.

His wings beat the air desperately to keep him afloat as he flew his way over to her desk and ever-so-gently lowered his delivery onto the hard stone surface. Instead of staying upright, the pouch sort of collapsed in on itself, leaving only the outline of something round underneath the fabric that didn't sag. The brown fire lizard landed next to it and panted harshly. Fred eyed him up and down and snorted. A huge grin broke out on the girl's face as she reached for the familiar brown. Oh, she knew him very well; this was her father's fire lizard!

It had been a few months since she'd left home without a word, and though she'd sent a message to inform her parents what had become of her and Lesley, they'd never responded. Hanalei had honestly just assumed they'd disowned her and moved on, but apparently that was not the case. Excitedly, she undid the message bound around the brown's foot and stared at her mother's poor handwriting.

Hanalei,

Congratulations on your candidacy! Your father and I have been very busy, so you'll have to forgive the lateness of this letter. Please accept the attached gift as both an apology and a wish for good luck. Take good care of it! Please be sure to visit us on your dragon when you Impress!


She gave the brown a pat on the head and sent him on his way - he was fairly grateful to get away from her leering bronze fire lizard - and then carefully untied the top of the pouch. There, sitting in warm sand was a fire lizard egg. The candidate grinned ear-to-ear and reached out to stroke the shell. It must have taken them months to save up for this! A princely gift indeed. The egg wasn't quite ready to hatch by her reckoning but it could only be days away. She wrapped it back up in the pouch and set off to get a proper bowl to set it in.




Hanalei kept the egg close at hand while she tended to her infirmary chores, sitting next to her on a table in constant view as she stirred vats of numbweed or re-bandaged wounds. It was a constant pick-me-up, a reminder that she did have something to look forward to, even if she didn't Impress at the upcoming hatching. With Lesley and two fire lizards around, she couldn't possibly be lonely.

It was a three day wait before the egg showed any signs of hatching, and when Fred finally began that welcoming hum and the egg started to twitch back and forth, Hanalei was ready.

She'd kept a pouch of dried jerky on her person at all times so she wasn't scrambling for something to feed the thing when it hatched - something she was very grateful for now. The top of the egg was falling away as she reached for a large scrap of meat, and a little bronze head peeked out and stared at her with wide and alarmed eyes as she dangled it over the hole he'd made. Instantly, he snatched the jerky away from her and devoured it. She repeated the gesture until he was clambering out of his egg to get to her and climbing her sleeve to her shoulder. There, the unusually little bronze curled his tail against her neck, sighed deeply, and fell fast asleep.

Fred chirped and tilted his head this way and that, watching the whole event with overflowing curiosity. He chirped a question and she smiled at him. "Yes, he's mine. I think I'll name him Tas, what do you think?" Her bronze merely tilted his head even more and seemed utterly confused by everything that had just happened. Why did she need another bronze when she had him? Did she still love him?

Hanalei scooped him up and snuggled him against her chest. Fred's fears were instantly put to rest and he was quite happy to snuggle against her as the candidate walked quickly and carefully to go show her best friend the newest member of her little family.
