Weyr Life Drabbles: Prompt word #14: "Black"
Blackness.
If he's honest, E'lek is feeling quite terrified.
He knows - they all know - that some of them may not reappear. He concentrates, picturing green Surith ahead and the Starstones far below. Further back, C'gan and Tagath are doing something similar. He'll be part of their visualisation, him and Villonth. It's like that through the whole wing, everyone trusting in the long familiarity to see them safely through. Fewer pairs are lost this way, except when the whole wing fails to return. Oh, it's rare, but it has been known to happen.
Three long heartbeats.
And the darkness is gone.
