Tara POV
I felt my heart rate quicken and my breathing became shallow. The glow of crystal radiated a warmth in the palm of my hand that seemed to spread through my entire entire body. I turned my stunned and confused eyes to Rose.
The golden glow brightened her face as she looked from the crystal to me with surprise and admiration. I turned to Mrs. Herbert next who smiled warmly.
“I have a feeling your detour in Kevant will be a lot longer than you imagined,” Mrs. Herbert commented. “Ladies and gentleman, Tara is potentially a future Luna.”
I turned my eyes to the class and scanned several faces that ranged from surprise to confusion and then landed on one of pure rage. Rena’s dark expression sent a chill down my spine and I quickly handed the crystal back to Mrs. Herbert.
