Another Fallen Angel

by Fynhavir Leveque

The tale of a lost rider, and her struggle to be found. As of right now, complete. That may change if I upload the following chapters.

Another Fallen Angel

Disclaimer: Everything to do with Dragonriders of Pern, and Pern itself, belongs to Anne McCaffrey. I did not make any of the important things up; with the exception of the characters involved in the story.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fall?

-This is a poem written after the story that shall eventually follow.

I had wings,
Once.
I could soar.
I could fly,
away from life
and all my troubles.

I had love, once.
I could live.
I could share,
my life and mind,
and what matters most.

I had joy,
once.
I could laugh.
I could dream
of what lay ahead,
and escape.

But then I fell.

Now I have nothing.
No wings.
No love.
No joy.
I have become nothing.

I am neither here, nor there.
I am grounded;
Alone;
Empty,
of all that makes living worth while.
I didn't know that it was possible,
to hurt so much.

But I know,
that if I take
only a few more steps,
I will fly once more.
I will no longer have
that empty hole,
that was once filled.
I will have wings,
again.
It is not much further to fall.
There will be no more pain.
