Dawning Resonance [META PART 1]

[Zactura]

Insipid, silent, quiet, calm....Falmas would never be expecting this.

The slim form of a delicately-boned Blue emerged from between elegantly, the smoky blue hide of the dragon gleaming in the pale light of dawn. The watchdragon had nodded off, as old Pftalth was wont to do, and so thus, the Blue could slip in unannounced and unnoticed.

Just as he had planned.

A small figure on his back made it seem as if he had a rider with him, but in reality, though none would know, it was merely a dummy, stolen from the Outpost's training area to serve its greater purpose here.

Do not fail, Jheleth. Do as your Evermind commands, and sow the seeds of chaos in this Weyr. Gorheilith's serpentine voice slithered its way into Jheleth's mind, causing the slim Blue to shudder in the thin air. Yes, my Evermind, I will do as you command. This Weyr will feel my sting. The Blue paused and hovered in the air, waiting for any further orders from the Shattered Evermind. He felt her oily presence leave his thoughts like a cloud being blown out of the sun, and he exhaled in relief. Jheleth was a loyal Shattered, that was true, but Gorheilith darting into his mind like that was always something that made him feel so violated--and not in a good way.

Silently, slowly, the Shattered Blue crept his way into the Weyr...

Jheleth discarded the training dummy in a corner with a snort, smacking the cloth and wooden form with his long, whiplike tail in disgust. He had felt degraded by the use of that prop--after all, had he not killed His to become free? Why should he even have to wear a reminder of that?

Unlike most Shattered, lithe Jheleth was not proud of what he'd done. He may be a snob, but he had standards--and that had gone way beyond them. H'talc hadn't been that bad of a person, but things had gone how they had gone, and now he was free, free at last. Though often he wondered if it was worth the price he had paid...

[Zactura]

...but Jheleth couldn't deny that it felt so good to be free.

As the slim Blue silently wiggled his way into the Wey that had once been his own, he grinned draconically at the sleepy setting, so idyllic, so peaceful....so unguarded, so exposed. It was mere child's play to get in, and he now crept around very carefully to the Candidate's barracks.

Dear little ones, do not be afraid. It is merely your friend, Jheleth, come to deliver you to a better place where you can be fully appreciated. he whispered in the slumbering Candidates' minds, awakening most. Your Jheleth has come to guide you to your paradise. The Blue crooned, drawing a few sleepy Candidates onto his back. He flashed between to Gorheilith's lair, where a lesser Gold had recently laid her Clutch, and deposited them into the safe area that he had been told to. Now then, my dears, do not stray beyond where I have left you. Here you are safe, protected until I come back to guide you all through the gates of your heaven. I will return shortly with more of your friends so that all may partake of this utopia.

True to his word, Jheleth silently emptied the Candidates' Barracks, leaving not even the smallest Candidate for Falmas. He landed skillfully in the area with a delicate flourish of his wings, smiling down at the enraptured Candidates. Sure, he had spun a few mental strings in order to get them to come along complacently, but still--there was pure awe in their eyes, at least as far as Jheleth could tell.

Come now, my darlings--we enter into Paradise. Jheleth purred softly, sheperding in the Candidates into Gorheilith's chasm. He followed behind, ensuring that none would stay outside.

After all, there were Shattered to make, and every Candidate would be needed.
