CHAPTER 15

A WAKING DREAM

Eva had never known how vast a desert could be, and the Bralden desert in particular was enormous. On and on it stretched, as far as the eye could see, as they continued their flight towards Weston Ridge—their second day of travel after the storm. Oliver had helped Eva repair what was left of Perrell’s liter. It was far from perfect, but at least it was secure enough for her to ride in it again.

They had used her knapsack and some of the ropes to fashion a safety harness of sorts, which attached her to Perrell’s harness in case the litter broke again, and the dragons were flying low over the ground as a precaution should they need to make another emergency landing. They also had decided before they even took off that if it rained again, or if the winds grew too strong, they would stop in case their repairs didn’t hold—but Eva still felt tense as they soared along.

Perhaps it was because they had been flying much faster over the past two days, trying to make up for lost time after the storm. And despite Eva knowing in her head that she was safe, the speed of the flight was enough to make her anxiously remember the fall, no matter how many times she told herself that she was safe.

When she wasn’t preoccupied with the thought of falling, Eva felt preoccupied with the visions she’d had, and the way she felt in the aftermath. She felt…different. Not ill or unsteady, but changed. Her senses felt heightened; as she looked out over the desert horizon, it felt like she could see every rock, every crevice, every shadow from the climbing sun, and every shifting grain of sand—clearly and easily—despite their height and rapid speed. Also, she kept catching glimpses of some kind of light in the corner of her vision, as if there were streams of light glowing deep within the earth, but every time she started to see them and tried to look at them directly, they vanished from her sight.

She didn’t know what was happening to her—but she knew it scared her. She tried to convince herself that it was all her imagination, that the intense heat that beat down on them from the sun above and radiated off the ground below was affecting her, that this was some trick of her eyes. A mirage. A fantasy. Maybe even a delusion.

Eva didn’t possess magic. The memory that seemed to have returned to her…it had to be nothing more than a dream. It would have been impossible for her to enter the stone circle, just as it was also impossible for her to have enhanced senses, and for her to see things that weren’t there. This truly couldn’t be happening, and yet…

The sands were full of strands of light.

The group continued to fly late into the evening, the dragons pushing themselves harder than they needed to as the desert stretched on before them. Finally, when
