Weyr Life Drabbles - Prompt word #31: "Sunrise"
The rising sun slowly inched its way across the sky, lighting only the westernmost weyrs. The rest of the Weyr remained deeply shadowed, but despite the darkness, there was more activity in the bowl than you'd expect for a cold, clear, winter solstice morning. All eyes were directed towards the dawn, and to one particular spot on Benden Weyr's rim, only recently vacated by the Weyrleaders and numerous scientists and Lords Holder, a spot where a small metal hoop had been cemented into the ground.
There was nothing inherently spectacular about this particular sunrise... but Pern would remember it, always.
