Although Lorana cured the dragons' sickness so many died from the
disease that there are no longer enough dragons to fight the deadly
Thread, and more dragons and their riders die each Threadfall. With
their numbers dwindling, Lorana made the decision to fly forward in
time in a desperate bid to bring dragons from the future to fight
Thread. She knew that jumping so far in time would result in her
losing her baby, but without her jump all life on Pern is doomed.
Back at Telgar Weyr Fiona, Kindan and T'mar realise what Lorana has
done. They are desperately sad, but two things give them hope. The
first is that Fiona is expecting twins, and the second the fact
that all the dragonriders are exhausted, a sign that they are
Timing it - existing elsewhere in space and time - which gives them
hope that Lorana has found a way through time to help them. Sure
enough, led by messages left for them by Lorana, they fly through
space to the Dawn Sisters, the ships hanging in space that brought
their ancestors to Pern. From there they look down at the beautiful
planet and see a previously undiscovered continent - this is where
they are Timing it and where they are reunited with Lorana. Now
they can increase the number and strength of the dragons before
going back to their own time to fight Thread. Although Lorana found
she couldn't break time, she has found a way to cheat it.
