Galeda's Dream (NPCs welcome...open)

[hrsegrl245]

The two turn old was sleeping soundly in the nursery when the Nurses last checked on her. Then there was the between defiying cry. The blonde haired child was crying loud enough that one of the guards enter the nursery. "Whats going on here?" He demanded looking at the two nurses who looked more than bewildered. One of them woke Galeda and calmed her down. The small sea green eyes searched the room briefly. She began to cry again but softer tears. The young girl was a fast learner and a good speaker for her age. "I want to see my Daddy. Take me to him. I want my Daddy." She repeated inbetween small sobs. Not once did the child ask for her mother.
The guard left the room and made for Lord Galeden's study.

Lord Galeden arriived a candlemark later his daughter was calm now though she had refused to go back to bed. She saw the shadow on the wall and shouted in true child like fashion. "Daddy!!!" Her arms reached toward the ceiling. He picked her up gently, smelling her soft curly hair. "Hello darling. The gaurds told me you had a dream." Galeden's voice was a soft, even tone that he had nt used on another being his entire life. This was the child of his heart and she always would be. Galeda looked up at him, eyes holding back a fear that was unknown to her father. "You can tell me about it if you want little one."
"I was scared. It hurt me." She pouted. "What hurt you?" Lord Galeden asked sternly.
"I was hurted but the silver stuff..."
Galeden quirked an eyebrow.
"The silery stuff, what form did it take? "
She shivered a little, "It looked like strands of momma's hair. " Her mother had straight hair as opposed to the curls she and her father possessed.
"You saw thread in your dream. That is something everyone fears. It is the natural enemy of Pern and seems to come from the Red Star. Dragonriders used to fight thread before they dissapeared from Pern forever." He decided not to tell her the Holders had tried to kill them off. A two turn old had a hard enoug time understanding the things he had already told her.
"Tomorrow you shall see the harper and he will tell you everything you want to know about thread. Then maybe it will not scare you so much."Galeda released her grip on her father kissed his right cheek and let him set her down.
"Goodnight Daddy."
"Goodnight Galeda."

The nurses to the child to bed as her father walked into the hallway to meet with her gaurds. "If she has more bad dreams, inform me immediately." Galeden woud rather be the one to tell his daughter what was true and what wasn't. The nurses sometimes tried to sugarcoat things too much.
