What?
Maria shook her head as if a fire lizard flapped too close to her ears.
Without knowing why she looked up to the ledges where a few dragons looked down at the Hatching Grounds. It seemed like one or two were looking at her. She shook her head again then looked for Rentha but the dragonrider had left to talk to another. The memories of her runnerbeast from long ago swirled away like water that drained to somewhere else.
"Do you not think you are on the wrong side of the Wall, Maria? You should join the Candidates." Verreanna stepped back a pace.
Maria would have laughed aloud if it did not mirror the voice that had just been in her head. Me? At my age to step on the Sands as a Candidate? Her eyes caught Annaleia but then the thought came barging into her head and would not leave. It blocked out thoughts of the young girl so she could focus on herself.
GO. Go now. What would you lose? You would gain what has not been yours since you came to Ista. You have a right more than most to be on the Sands. About time, too.
Maria's legs felt stiff then like jelly. At least her leather shoes protected her feet from the hot sand as she stepped forward onto the Hatching Grounds.
