The Love of the Blind.
I didn't know where to post this, so here it is. It was a fight between here and there and then here again. I almost posted it in the FF forum at the end of the story, but since it isn't finished yet, well, here it is.
Minoa was a 25 year old artist. She came down with a fever that had swept the various Holds and Halls in her area, (Fort). The Weyr did not contract the illness, as they usually don't. Before the fever hit her home hold, she made a fairly good living as a contract artist. She had been to different major Holds and has even done portraits for Weyrleaders and Weyrwomen of her time. Her brother, Jindor, kept the smaller pictures she had and bound them in a book for the cothold she later ran.
The fever caused Minoa to lose her sight. This was a great loss for her considering her livelihood. So, when the Search rider's came and Searched her, everyone was surprised. No one imagined that a blind girl would ever be Searched, especially not at 26 Turns! But, since Thread no longer fell, the dragons were insisting on taking whoever they Searched, though they were limited to one per place that they Searched. The dragon still would not Search anyone under 12 Turns ecause they would not be ready to ride when their dragon was.
Minoa was at Fort Weyr for about two sevendays before the Hatching. She Impressed a gold, Minoth, and they will go to the cothold at Fort Hold before she is one Turn. Ysel, the Weyrwoman at Fort Weyr, does not like that Minoa even Impressed. She really doesn't like that she Impressed gold. She is really worried about when Minoth flies for the first time in a Mating Flight, and how Minoa will react to it. She doesn't believe that the Weyr will accept a blind Weyrwoman, even if she is junior.
I will edit this as the story progresses. This is so that some of the more vague things in the story are elaborated upon and to keep you, the reader, from being too confuzzled about aspects of the story.
:D
