“All of the ungrateful louts who were alive when you… they’re all fine, thanks to you.” Lucan chewed his lip for a moment. “Thora, what’s the last thing you remember?” “I killed an invisible… They were an elf. Dragonmarked.” Had she seen a mark? She must have. “Thuranni, I think? After that I think one of them set my face on fire. It felt like that; I’ve been burned before. I saw red, and then nothing.” Thora smiled half a smile despite her concern. “What pain medication am I on? Getting burned always hurt afterwards, but I’m not in any pain.” “Well, that’s good, but…” Lucan swallowed and dug a compact out of his sleeve, opening it to reveal the mirror he handed to her. “You, um, they didn’t burn you.” Thora’s first instinct was to demand the names of everyone involved in this childish prank. How dare they? She wanted to break all the bones in their hands. But the mark was intricate, too intricate for a prank. And – And her – And her eyes had changed. All her life, they had been a tawny brown and now they weren’t.
