They had touched down in the bowl only a few moments earlier, in the darkening evening. Rayna knew that soon the news of their arrival back home would travel through to Avalle. Probably quicker than she thought but she had thanked Talin and Task then asked them to leave, to protect them. She could not risk them for all the help they had given. It was wrong to ask that much.[/blockquote]
Weeeellll at least we did soooomething.
Yes, there is that.
They still hadn’t found the poisoners. That was a problem. However, hidden amongst their things were a few samples of the cultivated smokeweed they had found. Perhaps it would not be enough but it was something. They had questioned all the people they could find but, of course, even that wouldn’t be enough. There were always lies amongst the truth and even those who didn’t necessarily lie outright would obscure. Twisted words were more impossible than lies themself.
Her heart was hammering in her chest as the rider breathed in and out, fiddling with Couineth’s riding straps. Together, they went to their own Weyr, Rayna working to remove the gold’s harness. From her bags, she took the sample of smokeweed and then turned to her dragon.
I waaaanted to make them pay.
They all did. There was no punishment severe enough for the people who had committed these crimes.
She had committed a crime.
Even after swearing allegiance to Avalle, she had betrayed her Weyrwoman. Was the smokeweed enough? Probably not. Definitely not but it was enough for Rayna. At least they had done something.
