Brandon Dubois reaches the wake-house door, but The Mentor's Wife steps into his path. The embers throw her face into hard relief, and the loosened wrap around the sword hilt lies open on the table behind her.
The Mentor's Wife
Wait. That mark is no mere craft sigil. It is a seal of loyalty to King Eren Sharp.
She sets a hidden scroll into Brandon's hands, the waxed skin tube warm from her grasp. The open door lets in a knife of cold night air.
The Mentor's Wife
My husband kept this among his things. Take it to High Point before Iska's threat grows bolder. Deliver it to the castle, and you will be known as one who honored his name.
The Mentor's Wife
Bring proof of its delivery, and I will see you rewarded from what he left behind, silver enough for road and service alike.
The room goes still around them, the scroll resting in Brandon's hand like a charge from the dead. The sword, the sigil, and the winter road all seem to point toward High Point.
