Weyr Life Drabbles: Prompt word #77: "Paralysis"
Brekke had never seen Lessa so desperate. F'lar would find a way to go, unless... someone went in his stead. And she knew, Faranth, how she knew, Pern couldn't lose him!
Paralysed, she watched all the pieces fall inevitably into place. Meron, the firelizards, F'nor's self-sacrifcing courage, and above it all, Lessa's desperate need. She could feel the woman's turmoil through Ramoth, her grief and self-hatred as she leaned on F'nor...
Her eyes held Brekke's own, all fire and determination. And her soul cried out for forgiveness.
"I understand, Lessa," Brekke said.
Allowing the only possible choice to be made.
