"Cry Out at Fear"

July 2013

“...How are you not afraid?” I finally asked.

Feidal did not speak for a moment, and when she did, she didn’t remove her eyes from the mouth of the cave below us. “When Dalkon are afraid, it is custom that we cry out. We cry out at fear. We cry out so that fear thinks we are not afraid... even if we are.” She paused, looking at me from the corner of her eye. “You afraid, Gemini?”

She couldn’t have been more right. There were so many reasons for me to be afraid; the least of which being a dark cave at the bottom of a cliff. “...Yes.” I murmured.

“Then cry out!” Feidal raised a fist. “Cry out at fear... even if what you fear is not in cave.”
