The Long Hunt: Mageworlds #5
“OPHEL; HIGH ORBIT; HYPERSPACE; GALCEN FARAL AWOKE in absolute darkness. Only the lessons he’d learned in the forests on Maraghai—stay silent, don’t move, no good comes of noise—kept him from shouting and flailing about. Then he remembered that he was closed up with Jens and Miza inside a padded crate, being smuggled into high orbit like so much untaxed aqua vitae.
Before he could make inquiries about his companions’ state of mind, however, the crate began to vibrate around him. A huge roaring ...filled his ears, and shortly afterward came the feeling of immense weight that meant a launch. A little while later, gravity first vanished, then reappeared in the opposite direction, so that he felt like he was hanging up instead of falling down, and the safety webbing began to pinch him in a number of awkward places.
More time passed, and the crate’s lid groaned open. Faral blinked at the sudden light—there wasn’t all that much of it, objectively speaking, but even a dim cargo hold was too bright after several hours spent in complete blackness.MoreLess
