Dragons' Lament

Dragons' Lament is the sixth chapter in Foresight.

Synopsis
During one of Shaina's training sessions, a Rider is killed by the dark forces. Shaina 'sees' it happen, and discusses it with Masters Corrine and Ascelin. Master Ascelin reveals more about Shaina's true heritage.

Date
13th February, 998 S.A.

Memorable Lines
Although not explicitly stated, Shaina is seeing and describing a Rakh.
 * "They were easily eight feet tall, and their legs were like those of an unusually large dog, but their upper bodies reminded me more of a bear, with muscular limbs that ended in long claws and a head that was almost like a cross between the two."

Exceptional Character Moments
Shaina shows that she has at least some ability to use the gift of farsight, though, at this point in her training, she is not able to call on it at will the way Master Ascelin can.

Points of Interest

 * The real 13th February 1998 was a Friday, making the day Black Friday.
 * The title is taken from the sound that the dragons make, mourning the loss of one of their own.
