A month after the spire, the mountain road still bites with snow. Enanita stands near the fire as Veyl enters, cloak frosted white, and drops a sealed scroll onto the table.
He does not sit. His gaze flicks to the door, then back to Enanita, grim and urgent.
Veyl
The capital has moved. They know the truth is loose, and they mean to seal this trail with blood.
Outside, a hard crack shudders through the ledge. Snow whips sideways. Far below, the path is breaking under fresh slides.
Enanita
Enanita asks what the scroll says.
Veyl
The Magistrate is here, above the lower switchback. He brought guards, but he is afraid. If he reaches the bridge, we lose him.
The fire pops. The sealed scroll lies between them like a verdict, while the mountain groans again, one collapse away from cutting off every retreat.
