The Passage of the Soul

Written by Farris Temaire 

Katina's feet felt as if there were lead shoes on her feet; instead of sandals. She had only turned left towards her home five minutes before,  and although it hurt her pride she had to admit that she was already wishing she was sitting down. She had been walking the boulevard that cut its trail to the school yard for the last quarter of an hour. She had no good sense to be feeling dead on her feet with the distance she had traveled.

All night she had steadily been feeling worse and worse. At first, her night had started to go sideways when her nose had started to clog up and run. A symptom that was easy to ignore, with a few snorts; but then her throat had started to ache. The pain had then crept up to her ears; building a painful pressure in her temples that she had not been able to bring relief to no matter how much she tugged on her earlobe to crack the ear wax.

It had been around this time that she had slumped forward onto her desk, and closed her eyes. Whether it was pity or frustration she wasn't sure but her teacher had nevertheless sent her home. 

She had been quick to gather her belongings but for all the speed she took she had not even passed the elementary dome before the fever chills had set in, and that was what was really causing her to slog on her walk back to Moonlit Mountain.  After her chills had set in, she was even more regretful that when she had set her eyes to the egg pools, she had seen no mother dragons feeding their eggs or felt a telepathic echo of a dragon close by, but hiding from her sight. She had been crushed after leaving the classroom and finding no quick ride home, but her legs had sustained her on this walk most of the week, they would make it today. The little voice of defeat would not sway her. 

Her head was throbbing with each jarring step she took, and her body was  screaming in every muscle and joint that no energy was left in them. Her own body was betraying her by giving off tempting whispers that wouldn’t she enjoy a quick lay down? Didn't that meadow field look so soft? Would she not like a lay down in that pillow soft grass for a while? 

Trees had crept up around her again and she was about an 8th closer to moonlit mountains when the tempting whispers won. Coming to a temptingly  smooth rock, she let herself sink down. 

The walk between Moonlit Mountain, and her schooling was a 20 minute walk most days, but right now it seemed to her a task of draconic proportions in her condition, and more like 50 minutes at the pace she was setting.

Although it was a stretch of her telepathic range; she focused on the symbiotic bond between herself and Zephyr. When she felt as centered as she could get, she sent a plea to her dragon. "*Zephyr, I don't feel well. Please come get me."* Attached to this she gave an image of where she was sitting. Although she kept herself open for a reply; all she got was silence in return. 

She was flooded with a sense of failure, and disappointment. If she had reached Zephyr, he would have responded, having a much larger telepathic range than herself. Though she needed
