She sat, leaning against Aghath. Alara smiled, letting the sun wash over her face, and carry her into the sky. As she was set softly back onto the ground, Alara felt the prick of gravel in her arm.
She awakes to the dull pain of a firelizard's beak. "Ow..." The green Twilight is there, begging for food. Get your own, lazy green. Alara casts her gaze to the food. It's right there. Why is it there? She hadn't brought food up... Her eyes continue to roam her weyr, past the food.
A joyful smile lights her face. R'nos, of course. Lovingly, she traces the lines of face with her own eyes, smiling softly the entire time. The world is... perfect. Thread is over. The losses had been great, she knows, but Pern had been protected. And Aghath's flight had gone on, with the perfect ending. "Ai, I love you," she whispers to his sleeping form.
Her thoughts of never-ending perfectness are interrupted by Daystar. The brown flies directly in front of Alara's face, causing her to start in surprise. He drops something from his talons, and Alara automatically reaches out to grab it. Red meat. She rolls her eyes, but, unwilling to spoil the earlier serenity entirely, chews and swallows.
The ground rushes closer with astounding speed. Aghath keeps herself wrapped in her emotions- and Leth's body- until the last possible moment. Then she spreads her wings, allowing the air the catch them and stop her and Leth's downward fall. Sadly, reluctantly, she detangles herself from the brown who was the missing piece of her life, her one remaining desire.
