Title: Flight
Rating: PG
Prompt: #11 Race
Words: 58
Summary: He moves too fast and burns too brightly, and she can only wait. Practicing for one sentence week; smiles for whoever can guess the pairing, I wrote it with one in mind but it ended up kinda ambiguous.

He came in carelessly just as the first drops began to fall, windswept and ghost-pale but miraculously dry, and when he announced with a laugh that he had been racing the storm back to her, even the familiar warmth of his rain-scented kiss couldn't melt away the fear in her heart that she'd never be able to keep up.

Awww, so sweet! I'm going with Numair/Daine too.

Magic is akin to the human soul, and also to the cataclysms of the deepest earth, and also to the stars. It is like the enigma which separates a dead rock from living coral. I mean, very plainly, that magic is akin to the questions we ask, not to the answers we possess. You cannot calculate or determine what magic will do. You cannot use magic to answer a problem. But you can use magic to ask for a solution.

Oh, Miri/Evin would totally work. They're so sweet.

Dude, you've given me the best idea ever! Fairy Tale challenge: Evin and Miri in The Princess Bride. It would be totally epic.
