Winged Raiders of the Desert (2011)
Winged Raiders of the Desert
“All of them had difficulty, none more than Wash. The smallest of the Sleepers found himself having nightmares, for he had a deep fear of high places.
He said nothing to his friends, but Reb, who knew him better than any other, said one day, “It's gonna be all right, Wash. Goél doesn't want us to lose.” He grinned, and the sun caught his sandy hair, and his blue eyes glowed. “Far as I know, Goél don't sponsor no losers.”
Wash was dusting himself off. He had just taken a hard fall after coming in... for a landing. “There's two things about this here flying I don't like,” he said mournfully.
“What's that, Wash?”
“Going up—and coming down.”
Reb laughed and slapped the smaller boy on the shoulder. “You're gonna love it before it's all done. Come on, let's go see how the girls are doing.”
They made their way to another part of the plateau where they found Abbey and Sarah taking an advanced lesson from Lareen. The girls had been at it for more than three hours.
