No one knows exactly how or why the Mutation Dragons started to appear, only that one night 4 Eggs mysteriously disappeared 1 was a Dragon Egg, 2 were Flitt Eggs, and the last was a Watch-Wher Egg, the Eggs were later returned just as mysteriously to their rightful clutches which everyone was pleased with however they weren't happy when the Eggs hatched.
The first of them to hatch was the Dragon Egg at first she looked like a very large blue, but as she moved and the light hit her hide at different angles shades of violets and reds were seen as well; she was VERY picky as she walked among the Candidates offered to her and she ended up picking a Healer from the stands.
The Flitt Eggs were the next to hatch one was wrapped in linens and he attacked anyone who tried to remove them from him, but he impressed fine and the second was covered in black fur almost looking like a Black Feline.
Last to hatch was the Watch-Wher Egg which he was even more startling to look at his hide was foggy-gray everywhere except for his stumpy wings, which were clear as glass and he impressed as well fine much to everyone’s relief. The new colors became dubbed a Tanzanite Dragon, a Mummy Flitt, a Black Cat Flitt, and a Glass Watch-Wher.
The Tanzanite Dragon rose at the normal age for a Golden Queen and more of the mutations started showing up even with the Father having been a strong Bronze, the Weyr had at least been pleased to see this Tanzanite as the miners were calling the new Dragon had produced a Gold Egg, they thought maybe there was hope; but when that Gold Egg hatched the color that stepped forth wasn't pure Gold she was da mix of White and Gold.
As more and more Mutations started Hatching and mating, the Traditional Weyr's started feeling threatened and then a Gold Queen chose a male Candidate. At that point the “Hide-Bound” Weyr's had, had enough rejecting Riders whose Dragons weren't Traditional and even more Riders like Wesley as the male Gold Rider was called; considering them freaks; however with major convincing a female Christmas Rider and his male Christmas Rider mate convinced the Weyr's to let them have land to create their own Weyr.
With help Autobots, the Maquis, and supporters of the Mutation Riders and those like Wesley, Christmas Weyr was built. Earth having been rediscovered around the same time as well and many started coming to Pern from Earth and Christmas City was developed close to Christmas Weyr.
Most expected that Christmas Weyr would search Candidates as young as 12 and have a cap like 25 turns, but Helios and Sephiro the two Weyrleader's of Christmas Weyr weren't traditionalist putting the minimum age to be searched 5 turns or if from Christmas City it would be 5 years; but on the opposite end the two men refused to put a maximum age cap.
Both men made the point that no Mutation Rider and his or her Dragon would be turned away and Riders like Wesley would be considered regular Riders not freaks; Wesley applied as well for their Weyrlingmaster position and he was accepted.
Now with 3 Dragon clutches on the Sands the call for Candidates goes out especially with Threadfall looming over Pern; so there are many Dragons to defend the planet even if they are Mutation Riders; no one knows if there is a Gold or a Queen Egg in any of the 3 Dragon Clutches as all the Eggs are the same size.
