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.

In through here... turn right... first door on the left. Yoshan set down his small bundle of clothes and things on the bed, a huge grin covering his face. Harper swooped into the room, caroling like his namesake. How things can change in just a few short hours. Just this morning he had the luck to temporarily escape his fate; his life had been set on a dreary, mind numbing path as a herder boy in the beastcraft, but his birthingday happened to fall on a rest day and fortune had granted him a one day reprieve. He set out to explore the Weyr, a final act of rebellion Oh, to be sure, he had expected a lot of trouble from his father for going exploring places he shouldn't yet again. But the temptation had been too great, and he had snuck away. And then... The details of this afternoon's adventure still whirled about his head, almost surreal-- and hard to believe, except here he was. Searched by Blue Tesseth and N'myl his rider. And thus, this afternoon he was a dragonrider candidate. HIs father had been informed, his belongings retrieved from the Hold, and he had his own cot in the candidate barracks. Now instead of a single boring road into the future, multiple paths opened up in front of him, innumerable possibilities lighting up the horizon.

He slumped down onto the bed next to his bag. Being this happy was exhausting. He grabbed Booger off his shoulder and flopped down onto his back, still grinning, then released the flit and threw his arms high and wide to the top of the bed. Booger squawked angrily then clambered onto Yosan's belly. Harper finally came down to land on the bed too. Yoshan laughed, both at the fire lizards' antics, in remembrance of his father's confused mixture of anger and surprised pride when he was given the news, and just out of sheer joy.

Someone was supposed to meet him here, to give him a tour and explain the rules. He should probably go out to the common area.

"Room Thirteen," Kidrai mumbled to himself, turning down the first corridor to the right of the barracks doors. First room on the left. Good old number thirteen. The door was open, so the young man assumed that it was all right to peek in. The candidatemasters had informed Yoshan that he was coming. Right? Yes, of course they did. Knocking on the door frame to announce himself, Kidrai poked his head inside the room. Spotting the boy on the cot, with two firelizards, he grinned widely. "Hey there! You're Yoshan, right?"

Easing the rest of his body into the room, Kidrai stuck his hands in his pockets and looked around. Fixing his gaze back on the new candidate, he cleared his throat and moved closer to offer him his hand. "I'm Kidrai, your tour guide for the afternoon. Dunno why. I guess all the more experienced candidates are busy. But don't worry, I know what I'm talking about. We'll have a good time."

The two miniature dragons with the boy quickly captured his attention, and he looked from one to the other, glee lighting up his features. "They're cute. What're their names?"

At the sudden knock on the door, Yoshan sat up quickly, still grinning. Booger squawked angrily and threw her wings out to catch her balance. She clung to the boy's tunic, wings akimbo, just long enough to determine he was not going to jerk around again immediately, then clambered up to his shoulder, her eyes whirling. Harper walked across to the foot of the bed to eye the newcomer, chirruping curiously. Yoshan looked at him too. His tour guide was much older than himself. but looked friendly enough.

"I'm Yoshan, late of Vaioa Hold, nice to meet you Kidrai." Yosan slid off the bed, to stand next to it. He debated offering a more formal greeting, but decided against it. N'myl and Tesseth hadn't seemed to like it much. Yoshan pointed to the blue fire lizard at the foot of the bed, "Thats Harper," and he moved his head to indicate the green, "and thats Booger. I call her that cuz she's always sticking on me somewhere. He's Harper cuz he's blue and he sings all the time. How long have you been here? Where did you come here from?" There he went, asking too many questions again. Oh, well. Sometimes you needed to know things. Kidrai had said he wasn't as experienced as some of the others, that must mean he hadn't been here long. "I snuck away, to explore, and got caught in the hatching cave. But instead of getting punished, I got rewarded!" He was babbling, that's what his older sister would say. But he was too happy at this moment to care.

"Vaioa Hold," Kidrai repeated, swinging his arms loosely. "So you grew up near the Weyr. Have you ever ridden a dragon before you were Searched?" He knew that Vaioan candidates at least had more exposure to dragons than their farther-away counterparts. He inspected Booger and Harper closely, humming acknowledgment that he'd heard their names. He had the sense to give Yoshan most of his attention. Getting distracted by cute flits would make him an awful tour guide. "I bet you sing beautifully, Harper," he murmured, extending a hand for the blue to sniff. He didn't do the same for Booger, since she was sitting on Yoshan's shoulder and that might bother the boy. Not everyone liked having their personal space breached.

"I was born here," he answered, eyes still on Harper. "But I only started Standing about a Turn ago. Wanted to earn my journeyman's knots first. Just in case I don't Impress." He didn't lose any cheer at the mention that he might not Impress. It was a reality that every candidate had to accept, sooner or later. Eyes going wide at Yoshan's story, Kidrai tilted his head back and laughed heartily. "You're lucky there wasn't a queen on the Sands. They get really protective of their babies. Who found you?"

"I seen dragons flying around, and sitting up on the top of the ridge, but I never rode one. I like to watch 'em. Sometime one comes and sits near the crafthalls, then a bunch of kids gather round to watch." He'd like to ride one too, and hopefully that would happen one day. A far better chance of that now than before, certainly.

Harper stretched his neck out to meet the incoming hand, humming. "He sings a good bit, and not too badly when the harpers are playing, the real ones," Yoshan grinned, "but he mostly just makes little noises, ALL the time." To the point of annoyance, actually; to the point of 'will you sharding SHUT UP' sometimes. But he wouldn't say that here and now. At least it didn't look like he'd have to share the room... that would help. "Booger is more shy."

When the supposedly 'inexperienced' tour guide relayed that he had in fact been born in the Weyr, Yoshan's face screwed up in puzzled consternation. He didn't say anything for a minute, not sure if he should question it. But he eventually worked up his courage, "If you were born here then you know the place best of anyone, right? How come you said you weren't experienced? I thought you meant you weren't here very long..." Booger, sensing her person's confusion, scuttled from one shoulder across to the other, her wings half unfurled. The idea that he might not Impress was not new to Yoshan, but it wasn't something he was ready to spend any real time thinking about just yet. He was here, against all odds, and that meant something, to him if to no-one else. He firmly moved incipient doubts back into the dark recess where they always lurked.

"N'myl and Tesseth caught us. I thought for sure we'd be in trouble. But Tesseth said I could stay here!" Remembering that moment pushed doubts even farther back into the dark, and brought back the joy. He was more than ready to tour his new home.
