"Ari." Someone shakes my shoulder. I sit up, rubbing my eyes.
"Yeah?"
"Gethen is going to trigger your abilities soon. Better get dressed!" Umber holds up a cloak like hers, along with a black tunic and pants. I take the outfit, then ask where to change.
"Oh, over here." She leads me into a little room, and claustrophobia starts to poke around in my head.
I change quickly after she leaves, but when I get out, I still feel slightly dizzy.
"Come on. This way." A new person--A man--is waiting for me. "I'm Gethen."
I nod and drift out the door in his wake.
As I glance into a mirror mounted on the wall, I realize with a jolt that everyone else here has blue eyes.
I'm the only one with brown.
"Gethen? Why am I the only one with brown eyes?"
"It's a side effect of the DNA changes the Black Swan made. Elves normally have blue eyes. And pull that hood up, will you?"
I hate the word changes. I jerk all of my long, blond hair to one side and yank the hood over my face with a burst of anger.
I resolve to destroy the Black Swan and Sophie Foster the first chance I get.
