(Thi is the only post that this account will be making for this thread, however anyone who joins may feel free to continue playing fro as long as they like.))
As dawn started to lift color to the horizno in pastel streaks of pinks and blues, stars sank away and the skies grew lighter. One star stuck out though, seeming to glow brighter than it had in turns. It did not flicker pale white or yellow, but a menacing crimson as it hung high above Pern. It had been gone for a long time, had not shown itself so near to Pern in so very many turns now. Many had forgotten it, many disregarded the tales which spoke of the danger it brought. Why shouldn't they? Who would think the efforts many by brave dragons and riders of the long past would have failed? Who would have thought the star's path had only been altered.
But now it was on it's return path. Soon, so very soon, it would pass near enough the fertile surface of Pern to rain down it's parasitites, to let them feed on the lush world and suck it dry. Eden, the first who would be able to spy it in the skies should they lift their heads to peer up, lay below so peacefully. Could any feel the threat which loomed above? Did any of them feel the cold chill of fear crawl down their spines in anticipation? Only time would tell. Only time would see if Pern was ready for it's newest threat.
