but with the heart of a wolf I cannot travel alone.тАЩ He reached up to touch the rim of an empty
eye-socket. тАШMy own mother wept when they blinded me, but in the end my calling pleased her well. For
all I know, some great destiny lies in wait for your lad. Would you stand in his way?тАЩ

тАШWell now тАШ Dera let out her breath in a puff тАШWell now. If you were going anywhere but east -тАЩ

тАШTruly, the name of the Slavers is not one to speak in jest. Among my own people we call them Lijik
Ganda, the Red Reivers An aeon ago they swept down upon us, and the slaughter drove us from our
homeland and into sin and degradation. Woe, woe to the people of the horse that our desperation drove
