Dearest Reader,
The month of August brought change to Dragonsfall Weyr. Many valiant bronze dragons gave chase to Chioneth, but it was I'serin's Aluneth who claimed the golden prize. Perhaps the most noteworthy performance of all was given by brown Roquath, who stayed in the flight far longer than anyone expected. The most shocking moment of the flight, however, belongs to poor Mnoranth, who was injured by Chioneth during a midair collision. Although, perhaps we shouldn't pity R'enh too much, since he was 'consoled' by the lovely Ashela.

I wonder, dearest reader, out of all those who put money down, who won the bet on the new Weyrleader?

After the flight, E'kavas of dashing Roquath woke up from a nightmare which featured _him_ as the new Weyrleader, and the laughingstock of Pern. Fortunately for E'kavas, it was I'serin who woke up beside of Saibra and had to, reluctantly, claim the new title and all the responsibilities that go with it.

Saibra and I'serin have lunch together the day after the flight, wherein they agree to make the best of their situation and treat one another as teammates, and maybe someday, friends. I'serin meets with R'enh in the hopes that the former Weyrsecond will take up his old position, but R'enh decides he'd rather be a Wingleader once again.

Speaking of the new Weyrleader, he is a bit mysterious and finds himself thrown off-kilter by a flirtatious K'mai. I'serin also takes a visit from his father, who tries to use his years of experience to pull I'serin's strings like a puppet. The new Weyrleader is not to be manipulated, despite the simmering anger and resentment he feels towards his father. The other River Bluff transplant that I'serin meets with is E'kavas, Wingsecond to the Weyrleader. The brownrider turns out to be a much more supportive and level-headed visitor.

M'kayre, a top prospect for Weyrleader, has dreadful luck. While he has a complicated and spicy 'relationship' with brownrider B'kul, he wakes up with the prickly Zaphare after Chioneth's flight, and neither finds the experience very enjoyable.

Around the Weyr, M'til and I'lon discuss books and being boring. E'kavas meets Vaile after their children bring them together. In the Weyrling quarters, the new Weyrlingmaster T'lonas, calls a meeting with M'thos and K'yne. The latter is only interested in taking notes, however, out of duty to Weyrwoman Saibra.

L'kav's Feyonth rises and he finds himself with a familiar face - E'kavas. Speaking of familiar, E'kavas talks with Jaylene regarding the anniversary of River Bluff's closing. Merhaksel and Syerin commiserate over another failed attempt at impressing, but things begin to turn around for Syerin when he works with Vaile in the dragon infirmary. After speaking with the Weyrdragonhealer, Syerin decides that he'll try dragonhealing, at least that will keep him at the Weyr if he doesn't Impress.

Ashela and Th'reyos negotiate more than just the tithe, and my readers, wouldn't we have all been glad to be a flit on the wall during those negotiations?

Green Isaroth rises, despite Yasmeane's contempt for mating flights. It does bring Yasmeane some small comfort that X'eri, her new 'friend,' was there as he promised. It was a most unexpected turn of events, however, when Kadira's blue Ishath ended up catching Isaroth.

Jaylene and J'nne pay Kamalia a visit as she and Alaudath heal from their Threadscores. L'keri and K'mai think up names for the new sausage experiment.

I'serin attempts to make up for being awkward with K'mai and fails. Varethos and Zaphare gossip after the goldflight. After all, there was plenty to say about M'kayre.

Aydhan poaches Jaylene for Barrier Lake Weyrhold, but the Barrier Lake goldrider should be wary, Dragonsfall is possessive of its riders.

And now, my readers, I leave you with the heavy news of the Weyrleader's first Threadfall. Despite his Turns of studying, nothing could have prepared I'serin for the onslaught of leading the entire Weyr. Many dragons were injured, and one fatally so - I'lon of blue Napeth.
