The Well of Darkness (2014)
“I wanted as much distance as possible between me and the mining camp before my absence was discovered. Even after the moon set, and the darkness was nearly absolute, I kept moving. Caution slowed my pace, but I had already outrun the desert’s edge with the ground-hugging bushes that could trip the unsuspecting. Now there was only salty sand, spraying up behind me and settling soundlessly to the gently rolling ground. As long as I made allowance for the ups and downs, I kept up a reasonably good... pace.
In fact, I felt rather confident and self-satisfied as I ran through the blackness. I was as sure of my direction as if I could see Eddarta in the distance.
That might be Markasset‘s “inner awareness”, I speculated, my mind separating itself from the hypnotic, rhythmic motion of my body. But he‘s never shown evidence of such a strong link to the All-Mind. More likely, I thought, and a warmth not of the desert filled me, it‘s a light compulsion from Tarani. Lonna would have reached her before nightfall, so she knows I‘m on my way, and she‘s helping as much as she can.MoreLess
