Kyril had been packed and ready to leave for over a week.
“A sevenday,” his mother scoffed, throwing her hands up into the air. “Who is ready to leave their family a sevenday in advanced?” He was, apparently, and he liked it. Shard it, he would have left the day he packed if he just had a runner!
Sure, he could have hopped right on a boat and hitched a ride to Dolphincraft Hall, but what was the fun in that? Kyril wanted to explore; going straight to a destination was just no fun anymore. Besides, if a person stayed in the same place, how were they ever going to see the world? Kyril wanted to see, and learn, things for himself. He was not going to be content with being told about them.
It was his main reason for wanting to go to Dolphincraft Hall in the first place. After being saved by one, it was his decision that he wanted to work with them. This way, he could have a craft of his own, and gain more knowledge.
It seemed like a good goal: working with dolphins. To Kyril, there was only one other option that could beat that, and it was located at the Weyr.
“When are you leaving, Kyril?” Sattinia asked as she watched her son gather his pack and tie up his traveling boots.
“Today,” he told her, “soon.” He still didn’t have his runner, but at the moment, he didn’t care. He needed to get out—he needed to finally see things beyond the walls of the Fishing Hold.
After saying his goodbyes, he made his way over to the docks. Who needed a runner? Really, he was willing to walk if he had to.
