Fandom: The Commonweal Series by Graydon Saunders
Title: Resurrection
Word length: 100

Content notes: Takes place during a significant event in Safely You Deliver, but I doubt it would make any sense if you haven't read the book. I tried my hand at writing in the more arcane style that some of the Independents speak in, rather than the author's style for the books, so it might not make any sense anyway.

Summary: The Independent Crane remembers an extraordinary event.



In the Third Valley ritual was a moment that Crane could only name resurrection.

Never mighty, and without the dread of his name that others might carry, still Crane had always before made care and caution sufficient to success. In the midst of ritual, his belief in the outcome had never before wavered.

Yet when the malice attacked with the weight of ten thousand hungry years, Crane felt the ritual torn from his hands, crushed by a mountain of despair.

In that moment, Zora's will caught him up, his attention and his name together, and created him inexorably from destruction.
