He would become one no matter what A Path had been paved for him by his older brother, Lau’ren. A man he remembered with much fondness and love even if he had next to no memories of him and Cedrateth .

He knew his story and how he wanted to ride a bronze but ended up with a peculiar blue.
Growing up as the youngest was a blessing for Duncan. Always being babied after by siblings, he got away with doing less chores and dedicated his time to admire nature. From the flowers to the blistering heat, he always found beauty in his surroundings, writing his observations and thoughts about it in a hide bound book. Bit by bit, siblings grew up and left. He was forced to take charge of many things around the house, patiently waiting for the day that riders would arrive and take him.
On his 15th turn, his family got him a fire lizard egg. It hatched into Bronze Sunburn, named like due to his colourings .For once, Duncan felt somewhat closer to his bronze rider sister or Lau’ren. The longing to join them grew stronger in his heart, if he could’ve ran to High Reaches , he would’ve.
A little after his 16th Turn, search riders arrived at the hold. He was alerted by Sunburn’s excitement and nothing could’ve stopped him from running out that door and presenting himself to the first rider and dragon he came across. Having been chosen, Duncan packed his bags and trusty book, and left home. Arriving first at Igen Weyr, his aim was to get to High Reaches as soon as possible, he had to meet his older brother and sister!
After convincing a rider to take him, Duncan arrived at High Reaches Weyr. Head held up high and fire lizard posed on his shoulder. Who knows what types of adventures he’ll get up to there? But his first mission? Find Lau’ren and his blue Cederateth.
