"The sigil was given to me at birth. It has kept me breathing through dangers that should have killed me."
The copper basin stays turned toward Silver. In its water, the dragon pattern brightens, each scale catching green fire.

Mirelle
"Then it is not merely guarding you. It is using you as an anchor."
Mirelle circles the basin with salt and green ash. The reflected dragon splits into two lines. One points toward the sealed ruins. The other reaches through the inn wall, toward something unseen beyond the village.

The Noble
"That second thread leads away from the ruins. Is it tied to the wardstone?"

Mirelle
"Not only the wardstone. The pattern bends when I raise my hand. Silver, the network is linking all three of us, and the next knot is somewhere beyond that seal."
