A Cry in the Silence

Xhinna could tell immediately that something was wrong when she woke in the middle of the night. She’d been certain that she’d jinxed herself with the thought that things were going all right and now, she was certain, they were due to go wrong—seriously.

The first thing she noticed was that Jirana was not keeping her front warm. The second thing she noticed was that somebody—but not Javissa—was lying against her back.

Whoever it was was shivering and crying. And cold, very cold.

Hadn’t the girl given up on her and grown some sense? Xhinna thought to herself with an inward groan. Danirry had spent enough time with R’ney and the other new riders—surely she’d worked through her infatuation.

“Danirry …” Xhinna began quietly, trying to figure out how to get the blue rider back to her own bed without making matters worse.

Instead, the body behind her stiffened and, with an indrawn hiss, rose swiftly, running away.

“Danirry, no!” Xhinna cried, wincing as she propped herself up and slowly—achingly—stood up.

And then, just before she heard dragon wings rustling, a number of things clicked into her mind. The body had been different from Danirry’s: round in the middle.

“Taria, no! I can explain!” Xhina cried as the green dragon leapt into the air, beat its wings down once and was gone—between.

“Xhinna?” Danirry’s voice called from a different direction.

Xhinna had no chance to respond before Danirry was at her side, a questioning, concerned look on her face.

“Just a bad dream,” Xhinna said.
