Weyr Life Drabbles: Prompt word #84: "Found"
He used to play at Dragonriding.
He was always the first Searched, and invariably Impressed bronze. In their games of Threadfighting, slashing at the Hold's greenery with sticks, he was the wingleader, valiant and brave. And when Searchriders came for real, why, no-one was surprised to see him singled out!
Back at the Hold, he'd been larger than life, a leader of his peers. But at the Weyr, it seemed he was just another candidate, no-one special at all.
All of those games of dragons on Search.... Not one of them prepared you properly for life after you'd been found.
