Excerpt
“Why did you bring me here?” she
asked. It was against Maks’s rules, and
though Ren had only known her a short time, Ren hadn’t thought Sheridan would
break the rules so easily. Yet she still
brought Ren to one of the places Maks had forbidden, and didn’t even know
about.
“When one is battling a river it is
best to travel with the current,” Sheridan replied, a small smirk
appearing. She knelt beside Ren and
dipped her fingers into the water, swirling them around to create a line of
green light. “This place is magic; I
thought you could use some magic.”
“Magic isn’t real,” Ren said,
although she enjoyed the idea of it. She
wasn’t one to shy away from the entertaining tricks, from smoke and mirrors,
but she knew it was just that.
Tricks. “There’s probably some
kind of algae here to create the glow, and maybe some kind of advan—”
“Not everything needs to be
explained,” Sheridan said. “Sometimes it
just is.”
That made Ren quiet and she kept her
opinion to herself. If the people of
Novae believed in certain magics then that was fine. She didn’t want them to force their beliefs
on her, so why should she force hers on them?
“Thanks,” she mumbled, “for bringing
me here. You know, you’re actually
really sweet.”
Sheridan blanched, her hand stopping
all motion and remaining in the water.
“What?”
“You try to hide it,” Ren said, her
lips turning upwards, “and you always have those things on your back.”
Sheridan tilted her head to glance
at the weapons she was never without.
“They’re kamas,” she said before looking back at Ren.
“But I can see it. You act like you couldn’t care less about the
world and what people think but you like Novae.” Ren was careful with her words. “You don’t like the Monarchy.”
Sheridan took a deep breath. “I don’t.
And neither do you.”
