just outside. When he dressed and went out, he discovered a clot of men, all white-faced and shaking,
standing round the young prince, Daralanteriel, who had his hands set on his hips and an angry toss to his
head.

тАЬWhatтАЩs all this?тАЭ Rhodry was instantly awake.

тАЬMy apologies, sir,тАЭ the prince said. тАЬThe men keep talking about ghosts, and IтАЩm trying to force some
sense into their heads.тАЭ

тАЬGood.тАЭ Rhodry turned to Jennantar, who of all the men in the warband was usually the most
hard-headed. тАЬNow, whatтАФтАЬ

тАЬMock all you like, we saw her!тАЭ Jennantar said. тАЬOldana, standing at the edge of camp clear as clear.тАЭ

тАЬInteresting.тАЭ Jennantar thought for a moment. тАЬIn the bard tales, you can always see right through a
ghost, but she looked as real as you or me, and it was sunny, of course, which should have made her
look even less real, but it didnтАЩt.тАЭ

тАЬWhat did you do when you saw her?тАЭ

тАЬWell, to tell you the truth, we all yelped and jumped. She didnтАЩt say anything, just looked at us. And
Wye said, тАШLook at her hair, itтАЩs not yellow anymore, itтАЩs turned white.тАЩ And she smiled at that, like, and
