Chapter 2
" Can you believe it?" Earthsong asked her sister, flinging her arms wide into the sky as she breathed in the scent of the air around her. " Us, going to k'Valdemar!"
Icewing let out the breath the she didn't know she had been holding in. " Of course I can believe it, aren't we living it?" She smiled as she realized that their mother had given them the most important job they had ever had. That anyone in the Vale had ever been sent on. If she hadn't been on her dyheli, she liked to think that she would have fainted.
She pulled her braid over her shoulder and ran her hands over it, using her knees and feet to control the dyheli, even though she really didn't have to, it was smart enough to know where to go on its own. She was just nervous and scared. Nervous because she had never once been out of the Vale, at least not so far out that she would encounter other people. Scared that Earthsong would get them lost, or attacked. The girl really did not know how to be quiet.
She also resented her sister, not knowing why she would get the attention in the first place. Like their mother had said, they could not afford any of the mages, and if they had let her, Earthsong could have set some of the more touchy shields that required to keep the Heartstone under control. Scouts were of no loss, but why send Earthsong? Icewing started to think that maybe her mother thought that she could not do it alone, didn't trust her enough on her own. Anger coursed through her as she kept on thinking these thoughts, then imagined little arrows sticking out of Earthsong's head, arrows from her bow.
A/N: There will be more, I promise! I'm just suffering from a really big writer's block so a lot of my stuff is suffering as well. If you help me I will credit you....
