“What’s this?”
“A gift. From my mother, and from me.” Theia held out a ring, dropped it into the outstretched palm of her child.
“I thought it was only for the daughters of light.”
“And you are a daughter of light.”
Anapto looked at the jewel, the small detailing on the claws that held it, the way the light shone through each facet. Slowly, she put it on her thumb. “Then I’m allowed to wear it?”
“You’re allowed to keep it, if you so choose.”
“Why now?”
“You’ll be a queen. Why else?”
“Do you really think I’ll be a queen?” Anapto smiled, looking up at the expressionless face of her mother, and felt her spirits sink. The vacant look was the finishing point of the conversation, and she left the waiting room, twisting the citrine ring around and around her finger, finishing the conversation as she did.

Mom believes I’ll become queen. I hope so. Wouldn’t that be something? Veles- Father would hate that. Podsvetia would too, probably. She gave me this ring, saying it was from her mom from even before.
I hope I end up in the light flight at some time. That would be nice. Mom says they’re all dedicated to history. She says I’d like it there. I’m glad I got the ring. It means Mom likes me. Right?
