Description
Although the image of the approaching planet filled him with a sense of foreboding, Xaiver found he could not pull his eyes away from the screen. The memories of his last visit were all too fresh and filled his mind with images he had hoped that he would never have to see again.
Reaching down to his side he retrieved a flask from which he drank deeply, in a vain attempt to clear the dryness in his throat. Futile he thought, noting that not only was his mouth as dry as the deseret sands, his glove covered hands were sweaty and clammy, a thin bead of sweat forming on his forehead just below his helmet.
As his craft bought him ever closer to his destination, he felt the unease rising in him again, causing him to stir uncomfortably in his seat. Xavier shivered involuntarily as he gazed intently at the screen, watching as the planets solitary moon came into view.
All too soon he knew his craft would penetrate the upper atmosphere and he would break through the perpetual cloud cover and descend down to the hostile mist enshouded surface of the planet.
Shaking his head he tried once again to clear his thoughts, as the visions of what lurked on the planets surface once again flashed across his minds eye.

Absolutely love it Blair!! Like an approaching planet, but also like looking through a door without a doorknob or a key hole. Impending doom or a small triumph for Xaiver's race? Your words are extremely well spoken, very visual and descriptive. Well done on this whole series my friend! F/V
