[DL-T/W] Something Wicked This Way Comes

[NRPG: Kat's going to bounce this to Whiteriver for me and will be
bouncing any Whiteriver posts with B'rin in them to me for me to send on
to you folks. This is largely to avoid the "Take me off your list" and
non-applicable NRPGs problems.]
[B'rin]
It was fairly late when he arrived at Whiteriver Warren. B'nair of
Falagand had made him wait quite a while before she had sent for one of
the healers to accompany him into the wilds to find the tejas plants.
Then it had taken some time to locate any.
But now he had quite a quantity in the bags on his saddle.
He had lunched at Cleft, delivering his mother's letter to her former
junior queenrider, Cynthia. Knowing he wouldn't be returning to Telnor
tonight anyway, he had wandered Cleft for a few hours, letting his dragon
rest up.
The almost charred appearance of the trees at Whiteriver pained him to
see. Wraith burned.
He shivered at the thought of the enemies of all dragonfolk as he pulled
his mother's letter to Trinale out, wondering briefly what business she
had with Whiteriver. Not that this was unusual. In the time he had been
acting as courier for his mother, he had visited all of the warrens
multiple times. He liked Cleft the best of the other warrens, for it
boasted a number of former Telnorites that he enjoyed seeing again as well
as the taste of adventure of the rough-and-tumble new warren. After
Cleft, he liked Whiteriver most for its waterfall, climate and excellent
swimming. He was looking forward to it now.
But first things first.
<Kalon, can you find out if Warrenlady Trinale is in her office?>

B'rin and Kalon
B'rin: Age 15, Dragon- Kalon (white with orange eyes); Son of Ophelia,
warrenlady of Telnor, and Tr'etram, now of Marrid. 5'11", 160 lbs., Dark
brown, wavy, short hair, Tan skin, Grey eyes. B'rin is still in the midst
of his growth spurt and is at that very awkward stage where limbs are
longer than expected and so on. His voice has mostly changed. For all
that he has grown up in the warren, B'rin has some very Landbound values
and is very embarrassed by sexual talk, etc. He is somewhat shy and
tongue-tied around girls his age and not terribly outgoing in general.
Currently, he is also unwittingly a Hellspawn-- the host for a wraith that
has invaded his body. Hellspawn typically go mad within a few days,
attacking and kiling dragons and dragonriders if they can. They generally
don't live long without surgical intervention, as the wraith begins to
need nourishment. The Tejas root he is carrying is a wraith anesthetic,
used in the surgeries to remove the wraith from its host.
