| Kinory twirled along the beach, laughed, leaned over to pick up a shell. "See, Ineuth? This is a shell. Ineuth?" She frowned, suddenly, when there was no reply. The beach before her shimmered unnaturally, trembled for a long moment before everything began to wash away around her. Anguish ripped away what was left of the dream, slapping her hard in the face. The dusky-skinned girl jolted awake, tears already rolling down her cheeks to stain the casing of her pillow. Frightened, she immediately turned to press close to Ineuth - Ineuth, who was sitting upright and making a dreadful, raw noise within and without. « They are gone, » and even in his grief, the baby dragon sounded terribly confused. « Why did they have to go? » Kin curled into her lifemate's warm, spicy hide, trying hard to muffle the little sobs that kept spilling out of her. I'kris and Svissath, gone. Was this just? She certainly couldn't say. But the boy that she had met wasn't a bad person; that much, she knew. One hand dug into her jacket from where it sat folded at the foot of her cot, pulling out the missive that Drasor had snuck into her hand as he and her mother departed the day after the hatching. She hadn't seen or heard from them since, but she read their words every other day, mostly out of confusion. Keep doing the right thing. She ripped it into tiny, tiny pieces, all at once fearful and angry in her grief. That couldn't be their fate. Ineuth - and her fellow weyrlings - deserved better. Silently, she vowed to try to find a way to stop the cycle. There had to be a better way, even if it meant working against her family's wishes in the future without their knowledge. Right was such a subjective word. |
