CONGRATULATIONS Scobey on your 5th FTF in the series! This cache is dedicated to Anne McCaffrey and her Dragonriders of Pern novels.
EXCERPT Arith executed a little run before he jumped skyward, then his fragile-looking, transparent wings took the first mighty sweep downward. It was the most exhilarating experience I had ever had, and I envied dragonriders anew as Arith’s strong wings carried us further aloft. I needed the cloak as well as the buffer of warm bodies in front and behind me. M’barak must have known how I was feeling, for he turned his head and gave me a wide pleased grin. “Hold on now, Rill, we’re going between,” he yelled. At least, that’s what I thought he must have said as the wind tore his voice away. If flying dragonback is exhilarating, going between is the essence of terror. Blackness, nothingness, a cold so intense my extremities ached, and only the knowledge that riders and dragons experienced the same thing daily with no ill effect kept me from screaming in fear. Just as I was sure I would suffocate, we were sunstruck again as Arith brought us by that unique draconic instinct to our destination. Then I had far more to concern me than the fleeting passage through black between. The previous paragraphs are from Nerilka’s Story by Anne McCaffrey, copyright 1986 by Anne McCaffrey.
