Before the Fall: Arrival (Embassy Row # 0.5)
“I’ve been like this for an hour, maybe two, when the pilot tells us we’re about to make our descent and the plane starts to come awake around me. Seat backs are brought to their upright and locked positions. Tray tables are stored. Flight attendants tell us that they’re making one last pass through the cabin, but the people on the plane don’t really care about that. They’re too busy staring out the windows at the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean that are rippling beneath us. The people st...rain, trying to catch their first glimpse of the ancient wall that still rims the city of Valancia, a real-life wonder of the world.
But not me. I lean back and let the woman in the middle seat have an unobstructed view out my window. I’ve seen it all before.
“Isn’t that amazing?” the woman says. I know the sun is rising in the east, casting the ancient city in its golden glow. To her, Valancia must look like something that emerged from the bottom of the sea centuries ago, conjured by magic, protected by dragons.MoreLess
