Weyr Life Drabbles - Prompt word #22: "Enemies"
It was Ruatha's first gather of the year, and Lord Warder Lytol was desperately looking for an escape. Both the Ruathan-born Weyrwomen were here, standing toe to toe and eyeing each other like mortal enemies. Tradition dictated he had to open the dancing with one of them... - but which took precedence? Probably Mardra; Fort was the eldest Weyr and Ruatha looked to it for protection... but Lessa was Lessa, and had been Ruatha's heir, while Mardra was born of a younger son.
On the dais, Robinton caught his eye, and subtly changed the tune.
A group dance. Thank Faranth!
