Akum Weyr - A Weyr In Distress

[Momo]

Akum Weyr

On a planet, not that far way from the world of Pern, there once was a thriving society of human beings who had the ability to harness electricity. Though this world could sustain life in many of it's aspects, this world was nothing like the lush and beautiful world of Pern. This world, which was known as Akum, was almost the complete opposite of Pern in fact. Built a planet to harvest metals and electricity, Akum had very few forest lands and greenery. With most plant life growing in green houses and gases floating in the air, do to the power plants and such, Akum slowly started to slip into a state of global warming.

It was not long at all before the Scientists realized what was accuring on their planet and they quickly tried to think of a way to save the world that they called home. It did not take long at all before the planet itself made up it's mind for them and it choose destruction. Slowly, the world known as Akum started to freeze around it's great cities of metal and glass. Starting at the southern polar cap and spreading up words, the unnatural ice, that could not be melted by any means the Akumese new, creep up and around buildings, freeze the waters, and made the very air freeze. Snow storms became frequent in all the cities, that had not been eaten up by the icy hell the world of Akum had become, and slowly the Akumese started to die off one by one, whether it be from getting caught in the ice or getting caught in the snow storms.

The world seemed to be lost to all and the destruction of the Akumese seemed to be unavoidable. At least, that was until something very unexpected accrued. Falling from the sky like meteors to the earth, twenty small objects hit the icy grounds all over Akum and the ice slowly started to melt around them. Not sure what to make of these new happenings, a group of Akumese scientists left the safety and warmth of their homes and started out towards where the objects had fallen in their prospective areas of the planet.

On arriving at the area where the object had fallen, the scientist, Uleon, was surprised to see, what seemed to be light blue flames the shape of a large egg or stone, laying on the ground before him. But as he got closer to the object he realized they were not flames at all, but a solid object. Reaching down to pick up the object with his bare hands, which he had forgotten to put gloves on in his excitement, he pulled back with a yelp of pain as the smell of burning flesh filled the air. Slowly the object started to rock on the now muddy ground beneath it and a bright glow started to emanate from the object. Suddenly the object stopped rocking, laid still for a moment, then exploded sending shards everywhere. But that was not the only thing that exploded out of the object, with a loud cry a small bird like creature, that seemed to be made out of blue flame, soared through the shards and into the air. This the first Fire-Bird of Akum was born.

It was after that time, the people that impressed to these creatures, /tried/ to fix their planet. But there where too many people, that did not have the wonderful creatures, and the planet slowly slid into destruction, and the planet started to slip into nothing. It was then that the twenty that had impressed, and the ten that had impressed after the Gold Fire-Bird clutched, left Akum. They used what was left of their science, and found a way through the Oort Cloud, and made their way to Pern. When they landed, the thirty people found themselves at a Weyr...

The thirty people and Fire-Birds found themselves at a Weyr, and abandoned one. At first they knew not what they where getting themselves into when they sought shelter there. It was nearly two turns, of living in that desolate sea side Weyr, when the Golden Dragoness, Aalynth, appeared on the Horizon. The Akumites didn't know what was happening, but when the Queen Dragon and her Rider, Ashlyn, started a Weyr there the Akumites where accepted into the Weyr. The queen clutched, and Fire-Birds clutched alongside her.

Thus Akum Weyr flourished, and the age of Fire-Birds began. But all was not good, for the DragonRiders of Akum Weyr, did not train for thread fall as they should. They believed it was gone for good, but they didn't know how wrong they where. Thread fell, and fell, and it decimated the Weyrs dragon population. A odd plague swept through the weyr, and this lowered the numbers even more. With the last of the fire-birds... The weyr gave up hope.

Their aging queen, Myndith, rose her last, and laid one last clutch. Thank the first egg!! A golden egg lay in those lovely folds, and twenty other eggs. Thank the first egg, when the queen egg hatched, and so did all twenty of the other eggs. All impressed, filling the weyr with the Bronzes, Browns, Blues, and Greens it needed. But little did they know, thread was returning, and the young dragons where not equipped for such a thing. The last fighting wing of Akum took flight against thread, and perished. Leaving only the aging Weyrling Master and his dragon, and the twenty-one weyrlings.

All hope was seemed to be lost, the weyr was likely to fall into ruin. But then... The form of a dragon sized white flaming bird in the sky, as thread fell once more. As the thread fell, she ate the menace, saving the weyr and the Werylings and giving them enough time to graduate. After her defeat of the thread she went to the hatching sands of Akum Weyr, and laid a clutch. then turned to ash. Fifty eggs now lay on the sands, waiting for their partner to claim them... This was the greatest worry on the weyrs mind... that was until the aging Weyrling master told them that the golden queenling was going to rise....

What will become of the Weyr now? Thats for /you/ to decide...
