The entire Weyr is aghast with the results of Pern's first Threadfall in centuries.
Of all of the dragonriders who took to the skies to defend the island, only 7 escaped unscathed or merely singed.
Another 7 dragonriders suffered major thread injuries, while many others were struck with minor attacks.
Especially appalling were the number of injuries due to collisions between dragons! There were 5 dragonriders involved in major collisions, and numerous others who barely escaped with minor scrapes.
Weyrleader M'kel would be highly embarrassed by the whole matter, were he not 'out of commission' with a fresh Threadscore across his cheek.
Those who once grumbled at the 'unnecessary training sessions' are now cursing the Weyrleader for not preparing more.
The entire Weyr has settled into a dark mood, with those uninjured tending to friends bedridden in the Healing Caverns for the next few sevendays.
Araelen has received a wake-up call, and it certainly was not a welcome one!
Of note: L'kas was the only Wingleader to last the entire Threadfall. The Seablades, on the other hand, were the only Wing in which all of the riders were injured.
