Five Sentence Fiction - Fearless

Raw rock scrapped bare skin as he push himself and his precious powders ahead, light had not yet penetrated this far into mother earth, yet the darkness did not deter him, nor would he let any fear defeat him. 

He must reach his destination before the sun awoke, he would need all her precious light for his work ahead. 

As the first rays of light shone up on the rough wall in front of him, he was ready with powders and nimble hands to work and talk to the heart of the  mother. 

He told her of their plight, begged of her to help so that they could last the winter through, she was their only hope now. 

As light faded he turned to retreat into the cold world outside, he could do no more, he’d entered the mother without fear, he returned to the world with hope.
