Tollia blinked, gripping Gar's arm. Her mind cleared and the feeling of terror subsided but as she looked at the young fellow the image rose again. Great ribbed wings spread wide and head held proud. It was a dragon that appeared in the air behind him, of within him. She could not truly tell, it was as though he and the dragon were one image. She stepped forward, Gar keeping his hand on her shoulder. She reached out to the fellow, but then noticed the people gathered about them. They had made a spectical, her episode, Gar being thrown to the ground. She could hear the snickering, see the mocking gazes. How she hated these people. She did not want to turn their attention to the strangers, she would spare them that. She would not have wished their attention on the worst of her enemies. Instead she stepped up close to the fellow, her voice low enough not to be heard by anyone but the two of them. "What are you?"
"What do you mean? I am human," Sterling said without hesitation. Florence grabbed the horses reins walking up behind Sterling.
