  Boarding Party by Robert F. Young - The fey Mr. Young continues his scholarly researches in the scientific origins of our myth and legend with this tale of an agile—and avaricious—one-man boarding party. 
  (Translator's note: The original of the following report was recently acquired by the Terran Industrial Library through the Interstellar Historical Exchange Society, into whose illustrious fold the member nations of the Terran Economic Bloc have at last been admitted. The narrative is of primary interest to the library officials because it provides unequivocable proof that, long before the Interstellar Economic Community took official cognizance of our existence, several articles of Community Commerce found their way into our culture. To the layman, however, the narrative is of primary interest because it provides an intriguing parallel to a narrative of an altogether different nature.) 
  TO: Interstellar Nurseries, Frimm 4 
  FROM: Captain of the Greenship Uxurient, Urtz 2 
  SUBJECT(S): (1) Why the Uxurient put in to an out-of-bounds system during the Frimm 4-Urtz 2 run; (2) how a boarding party of one gained the greendeck and made off with a Uterium 5 snirk bird, a toy friddlefork, and two containers of yellow trading disks; (3) why the Uxurient's flexible ship-to-ground capillary tube is ten exids shorter than it used to be.

  In the nightforged realms of Umbravale, where shadow weavers pact obsidian dragons from ebony voids and eclipse riders mount flights through eternal dusk, weaver Sylas pacts a shadow flight with rider Eira, their bond shadowed by dragons that feast on light. The flight, forged in wing vows and eclipse-kissed scales, soars the realms—or plummets into devoured abysses. As they glide fractured citadels and dusk-veiled chasms, shadowed by dragon lords and light thieves, Sylas's weaving darkness fuses with Eira's riding swiftness, unveiling a nightforged legend of shadowed soar. When a fractured scale summons dusk devouring swarms, they must pact the flight to eclipse the night. In the shadow of obsidian wings, where every wing beats the void and every bond defies the dark, their epic pact becomes the flight that rekindles the realms' lost dawn.
