.:Marketa Island:.
.:Overview:. Marketa is an alternate 10th pass weyr where everything at about fourth pass and later never happened and some things early on were a touch different. Wind Blossom created "accidentals" that she sent to the islands in fear of how the rest of Pern would act. All females are clutching females among the island dragons and anyone can be a weyrwoman just by challenging the weyrwoman to a contest of first flight or weyrleader fight. Anyone that turns down a challenge is looked down upon by the weyr, no matter how good they are. Glory Island Weyr has traditional colors that stay around and spy on Marketa. These dragons come for "vacation" What most people don't take into account are the Pinks, the small little drudges...	.:News:. Scarlet Halth, dragon of Amynl, had a nice clutch, sadly enough, many went wild, but almost all cnadidates impressed. Poor Lainy was left on the sands... Scarlet Sparkth, dragon of Talia, is Flying .:Updates:. We are officially open, create a charrie and began play! Uh oh, The pinks have left us. Whatever shall we do without our drudges to help us at Marketa Island Weyr. Riders need to start posting reactions... (a few pinks are left that refused to go, but most left) And, another part of the mystery, who released the pinks? Who has the keys...? Who would do such a thing? .:Thanks:. Thanks to Sparrow for designing the cool header	.:Important Links:. To be updated...

Wind Blossom felt sorry for the people that were outlawed to the islands, so she created dragons to protect them, though none of them turned out right. One batch turned out to be miniature pink dragons, one turned out to be aqua colored water loving dragon, and the last batch turned out to be a bunch of colors. Wind Blossom felt discouraged and so she hid them away in the islands, to give as much protection from thread as they could to the people outlawed to the Islands. 

Slowly Marketa developed its social standings, the challenges for weyrwoman and weyrleader became a tradition and the little pinks were scorned until they became like drudges. And, the wild ones, the dragons that hadn't impressed because there weren't enough people to impress to. All of this happened and yet no one left the islands because they had always been warned, don't leave the islands or something bad will happen. The first Islanders had believed that the rest of Pern would hate them, and so they had always warned their children.

Sadly enough, by tenth pass Pern, the warnings had grown dim and the weyrwoman, an Emerald rider, Ketaria and Figlith, at the time were curious about the rest of Pern. They left and found a beautiful continent, and found hostility too. People considered them different and started flocking to the islands to find the amazing island dragons. What they found was hostile wild dragons and a new, hostile weyrwoman, Gemdra and scarlet Hecth. Gemdra didn't want anyone on her island and her mate and the weyrleader, K'yil and fire Vedth, would kill all intruders. The continental riders developed a weyr nearby to watch these hostile islanders, and sadly enough, hostility was also developed against Ketaria because of the actions of her kind. Durring the night, an unkpwn person killed her dragon, and dragons around Pern all keened for the dead dragon that hadn't managed to between. Ketaria found herself with enemies all around her, or so she felt, and she didn't have her beloved Figlith anymore, so she stayed with her dragon as they were taken between.

Hecth and Gemdra both began to feel sorry for the continental dragons as they dies to the claws of Vedth. Gemdra loved K'yil's fire and yet she couldn't stand the killing, so in the middle of the night, she killed him, and then she killed herself, right there beside her fiery love. Vedth immediately started keening, and with a hateful glance at Hecth, Vedth went between, carrying his with him. Hecth on the other hand was watching her clutch of 22 eggs, and could only keen. She took hers between and yet she came back for the eggs, to watch over the eggs. Sadly she laid there watching, as continentals stepped onto the island and planned take over, as the new weyrwoman, who's dragon had just flown, midnight rider Macara and Xetreth, dealed with the continentals by telling them that the rest of the weyr couldn't be blamed because of what the weyrleaders had done. Macara promised that no one else would be killed, and so glory island happily thrived and new hold was founded, and the 22 eggs hatched, and Hecth took off into between, at last.

Macara found herself challenged by a gold rider and by a Scarlet to who's dragon would fly first. Macara didn't want to not accept the flight challenge and have a fight for weyrleader, especially not with her weyrmate being the only Teal rider in the weyr at the moment since the few Teals born normally went wild because of their personalities. Macara ended up accepting the challenge, knowing that Xetreth would not be the one to win just to say her weyrmate's life. He weyrmate, G'bel and Teal Tarnith were not to happy about her choice, but she would not risk her weyrmate's life.

The Scarlet ended up winning and her fiery mate is became the weyrleader. She will clutch soon and they plan on getting candidates form the hold set up on New Island. 

What know one thinks about is how the little pinks feel. How their riders feel outraged that their gorgeous dragons and them must suffer such fates. What Weyrwoman is any good when she doesn't listen to everybody's complaints? They are riders too.
