Ah, but this is Madua. The body of a Knight — well a trainee — is sacred. In their eyes, you are just another messenger to Ansàrra. At least you hope they think about it that way, because the pull to hunch over and cover your over-abundant curves is far too strong.
But you resist. And you are grateful for Rubida’s arts once more, because not one strand of silver hair peeks out of your cover, not even as you start to sweat. You really should get her some kind of treat after this. Something to cement your newfound friendship.
Still — you feel like wilting under the waves of gazes. Some you feel roam over your body, hooking onto your breasts, your waist, your strong shoulders, the elegant shape of your back sliding into your neck. You are so different from the tanned girl who stood in the same position, Candeloro to her right, watching her with all the confidence and love due to Ansàrra’s favourite.
You glance to your left, where Salicera holds your robe and looks at you with her usual confident grin, like she has seen this a thousand times before.
You two need to talk — but for now, that heretical belief in just your own strength — can you make use of it?
Six hundreds later — another girl, another pile of burning pellets, another flower about to bloom.
You hold out your naked hands. Sweat tickles against your skin, the heat too sharp to bear. Just a few more moments and your skin will grow red and blistery. And you will feel the need to cower and leave.
“Day will come again,” you whisper, take a step forward and plunge your hands into the pellets.
