| all crash to our deaths."
"You don't have to worry about that on a dragon's back." He speaks the truth. "Who said that?" I asked Jaxom. "Said what?" "Oh, nothing. It's gone now. I must be hearing things." I thought to myself, Am I going crazy now that I'm on Pern? You are not crazy. Why do you think you are crazy?, and the voice paused. It then said, We will soon land. Do not worry. I now had this feeling that I knew who was speaking to me. This feeling told me that it was... SOTH! If that was the case, the day was just getting better and better. We came to an abrupt, but not too bumpy, landing, and we all slid off Soth's shoulder. Soth even helped by extending his front leg to assist me in getting down. "Thank you, R'gan, for being kind in bringing me to what promises to be a wonderful wedding," I bowed to him. "And thank you, Soth, for a thrilling flight over," just to be kind I bowed to Soth. I told you not to worry. Transporting you was a pleasure. After Soth had said that, everyone stared at me with quizzical expressions on their faces. Lord Lytol inquired about my health, for he said my eyes looked glazed. R'gan cursed and told Soth to take to the air. After the first downstroke, we all heard, "Everyone talks behind my back, so you think you can to. Gets to where a man feels he can't trust anyone..." then they were gone. Jaxom now looked intently at me and asked, "What did Soth tell you?" "Remember when I first turned to look at you after we came out of between?" "Of course, I do." |
