Chapter One

It was early morning when it came. Another attack by the Ailkiens, from the north, south, and east. Even though they knew it was vain, they were throwing everything they had at the Macians.
“Letty!” Juatan, Ceaj’s castellan, bellowed.
“What is it you need, sir?” Letty asked, out of breath and in a hurry to get her squadron ready.
“I need my breakfast on the battlements and for you to get our troops up and going immediately. Have Keerly bring up my breakfast, is that clear?”
“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.”
“Right away, huh? If you really meant that you’d be gone by now.”
“Sorry, sir.”
As Letty scrambled down the battlement stairs she bumped into Keerly.
“Just the person I was looking for!” she exclaimed.
“Really?” Keerly asked eagerly.
“Yes, Castellan Juatan wants his breakfast on the battlements today and he asked for you to bring it up, okay?”
“That’s fine. Have you seen Brie this morning?”
“No, but I would ask the Castellan. He would know where to find her.”
“Thanks, bye.”
As Keerly rushed off to get Juatan’s breakfast Letty went the other way to wake the barracks. When she arrived, she found every bed mussed as if they had hurried to get dressed. When she walked through she heard roaring from outside so she threw open a window to see what all the noise was coming from. It was from the dragonriders that were already in the air.
“They must have heard the alarm the first time this morning.” She thought to herself. “Either that or their rumbling guts woke them early today.”
**********
As Keerly got Juatan’s breakfast she noticed that everybody was in a hurry and wondered why. It was then that she heard about the attacks and saw the dragons. As they majestically swooped over the opposing side she wondered what it would be like to be mentally attached to these huge, beautiful animals.
“No matter what, I will be a dragonrider. Even if it takes me my entire life, I don’t care if only men are supposed to be dragonriders, I will be one, I will, I will.”
As she reached the battlements she saw that the dragons were decimating the Ailkiens (it wasn’t new to them though). When she finally found Juatan, he was giving important information and orders to K’tan, a bronze dragonrider who Keerly was deeply in love with. As he headed off he smiled and winked at her. She almost melted on the spot, luckily she didn’t. She finished walking to the Castellan and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Castellan Juatan?” she said quietly.
“Yes? Oh, it’s you, Keerly, and you brought my breakfast. Wonderful, just wonderful.” Juatan said cheerfully.
“I hope you don’t mind, but this is all I could get on short notice, but it should suffice.”
“It’s just fine, Keerly. I didn’t want a big breakfast anyway.” Juatan said as he looked hungrily down at the porridge, toast, eggs, and orange juice.
While he was eating he quizzed her on what was happening to get all women, children, and old folk under cover and guarded.
“Well, we’re having them take all things of value down to the cellars, then they’ll return to their rooms, close all the shutters, lock the doors, and wait.” She answered quickly. “They have stores of food and water in their rooms that they must ration out everyday, twice a day.”
“If all women are supposed to be locked in their rooms, why are you still out here?”
“Because I have the privilege of being your personal assistant. K’tans also.”
“Why you?”
“Because I’m quick witted and won’t panic if someone I love gets hurt or killed. Plus, I’m the only one stupid enough to volunteer. The only reason I did volunteer is because I didn’t want to be locked up for the entire war and all the action like last time.”
“Weren’t you like five when we had our last war?”
“So, I don’t see why that matters. Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean that I can’t fight and you know that I’ve always wanted to be a dragonrider!”
“Yes, I’ve always known, but what have I always reminded you of when you tell me this?”
“That women can’t be dragonriders.”
“And?”
“That I’ll never have the chance at a queen egg because I’m not weyr bread. But I don’t care about that. All I care about is that it isn’t fair!”
“You say that every time. Anyway, if you’re really my assistant, you won’t mind me asking your mother about it.”
“No! Please, don’t. She’ll freak out on me and you don’t mind me being out here, do you?”
“Not really, but you must stay with me when they start with the catapults and arrows, okay?”
“Thank you. You won’t regret it, I promise.”
“Just be sure every dragonrider is up and fighting, all women are locked up safe, and then I want you to get Letty and tell him to come see me immediately. When you’ve finished that I want you to get yourself some breakfast. I’ll need you back in about three hours, so get going.”
I’ve already had breakfast and I know for fact that all women, children, and old folk are locked up because I was in charge of that. Is there anything else?”
“If you’ve already done all of that, then I want you to serve at least an hour in the infirmary as a nurse. Is that clear?”
“Yes, sir.”
As Keerly ran down the stairs she wondered why Juatan was being so nice to her.
“Oh, Well,” she thought to herself,” at least I don’t have to miss all the fun this time.”
