While the Soleis traveled as slowly as possible, the Eos was moving as quickly as it could. So fast sometimes, Meg wished that it would slow down. Like Stryker, she didn’t like ships either, and for many of the same reasons.
Mostly, she hated the rocking and rolling. No matter what she did, she constantly felt sick. Everyone tried to help. But nothing they suggested worked for her. Finally, after watching Meg suffer and grow weaker each day, Tarek gave her permission to transform into a raven and fly along with them. Sometimes Wren and Silke joined her, and watching them circle and swoop above the ship made everyone feel better.
It felt so glorious that Meg almost didn’t care that turning into a raven was the only thing she could shapeshift into now. And at night and in the dark, she couldn’t do anything at all. She was no longer the shapeshifter that she had once been.
Now she wasn’t sure what she was. But at least it seemed as if she was useful. Although she had been told what happened on Lopel, she had no memory of it.
The last thing she remembered was standing with the rest of the rebels, supporting the Mages. They were cloaking every person on the Islands to hide them from the Warrior Monks and Sawdi. The next thing she knew, she found herself lying on a cot in the main room, covered in blankets, and surrounded by her friends.
The story they told was hard to believe. She had been enveloped in fire. Karn pushed her into the circle of Mages. Then a beam of light shot out from her into the sky, turning the Warrior Monks away.
