Dear Nanda,

I’ve borrowed your paper and ink. I don’t have any and you’re asleep so I hope you’ll forgive me.

I had twelve too.

The dragon woke about five season before I was born. There was a rash of fear, the plains people running for cover, western families relocating to the four castleshales: Voferen Kahago, Stray Tor, Forte, and the distant Weary. I knew little of this. My parents were the kimoet, the lords of the land so they often paid out reparation for damages done to villages and tried hard to quell the panic that they believed was causing most of the damage.

During my eleventh year, damages and losses attributed to the creature increased dramatically. There was much outcry and at a festival about two seasons before my birth day, a man brought forth a petition to the kimoet. His wife had been killed by the dragon and he had come to demand the traditional blood fee from the high lords of the land. A bargain was struck. The price would be waived if the dragon could be killed.

Interviews were conducted with all the westerners gathered at the festival to collect as much information as was known about the dragon’s habits so that a plan could be formed. My uncle Ko compiled the information. He wrote a report including all the pertinent facts and concluding that it were best attempted by a small group because its eyesight was not sharp enough to spot a single human from such heights as it normally maintained. Ko took his sister’s bloodprice on his own head and left that night for the Dormounts.

His report was found in the Civil Guarde’s leisure room where they gathered for the morning meeting. In Ko’s absence, they found on his chair the compilation and report complete with a letter of explanation to the kimoet for his unauthorized, self-appointed assignment. It was delivered immediately to the queen who ordered the first wing to intercept their Commandt and return him to Kahago. Stedon, being more personally familiar with the informal particulars of the guarde, privately returned Ko’s wing to barracks and put them on leave, placed the second wing commanded by the heroic Girard on Royal duty, and sent the third wing after Ko.

The next three suns proved his close association with Ko had served us all well. The rioting broke out nearly as soon as the horses’ hooves had ceased echoing from the forest. Ko’s first wing, scattered about the city, were able to douse any incendiary persons before the crowds became too fired-up. All agitators were detained within the puniary until the fuss had died down. Only three of those locked up were local residents.

This isn’t making me feel better. Everyone knows all this. Everyone knows that Ko never returned and that the one guarde of the third wing who was able to get himself back to a village, Sapproach as a matter of fact, was burned so badly that he died before he could give any details. When
