#55 - "Spirit"

"Someone must have seen her!", Lessa fumed. "I thought we'd put a stop to people tampering with Ramoth's clutches, but..."

F'lar laid a soothing hand on her shoulder. "Lessa. Lessa, calm down. She never went near the eggs, didn't even set foot on the sands until Path Impressed her."

"Yes, but..."

"And what if she hadn't? Path wasn't interested in anyone else there. You've read the records; Path would've died."

"But a girl, on a fighting green! Oh, you know what stuffy old R'mart will have to say."

F'lar chuckled. "True. But you can't deny the girl's got fighting spirit!"
