surprised,тАЭ he said. тАЬI wouldnтАЩt want to be in RoodтАЩs
boots, trying to bring Deth back to Anuin. That harpist
makes his own choices.тАЭ
тАЬMaybe.тАЭ
тАЬRood will never bring him back here. You sent him
into the chaos of the Three Portions for nothing.тАЭ
тАЬWell,тАЭ Duac said resignedly, тАЬyou know the harpist
better than I do. And Rood would have gone after him
with or without my asking. He wanted answers too.тАЭ
тАЬYou donтАЩt question that riddler with a sword. Rood
should have known thatтАЭ He heard the harsh edge that had
crept into his voice then. He turned a little abruptly, out
of the light, and sat down at one of the tables.
Duac said helplessly, тАЬIтАЩm sorry. This was something
you didnтАЩt need to know.тАЭ
тАЬI do need to know. I just didnтАЩt want to think. Not
yetтАЭ He spread his hands on the rich gold grain of oak and
thought again of Akren, with its sunlit oak walls. тАЬIтАЩm
going home.тАЭ The words opened his heart, filed him with
a sharp, sweet urgency. тАЬHome... Duac, I need ships.
Trade-ships.тАЭ
тАЬYouтАЩre going to take the dead by water?тАЭ Raederle
said amazedly. тАЬWill they go?тАЭ
тАЬHow else can they get to Hed?тАЭ he asked reasonably.
Then he thought a little, staring back at his vague
reflection in the polished wood. тАЬI donтАЩt dare take you on
the same ship with them. So... weтАЩll ride together to
Caithnard and meet them there. All right?тАЭ
тАЬYou want to ride back through Hel?тАЭ
тАЬWe could fly instead,тАЭ he suggested, but she shook
her head quickly.
тАЬNo. IтАЩll ride.тАЭ
He eyed her, struck by an odd note in her voice. тАЬIt
would be simple for you to take the crow-shape.тАЭ
тАЬOne crow in the family is enough,тАЭ she said darkly,
тАЬMorgon, Bri Corbett could find ships for you. And men
to sail them.тАЭ
тАЬIt will cost a small fortune to persuade them,тАЭ
Morgon said, but Duac only shrugged.
тАЬThe dead have already cost a great fortune in the
destruction of crops and animals. Morgon, how in HelтАЩs
name will you control them in Hed?тАЭ
тАЬThey will not want to fight me,тАЭ he said simply, and
Duac was silent, gazing at him out of clear, sea-colored

тАЬI wonder,тАЭ he said slowly, тАЬwhat you are. Man of
Hed, who can control the dead of An... Star-Bearer.тАЭ
 Morgon looked at him with a curious gratitude. тАЬI
might have hated my own name in this hall, but for you.тАЭ
He stood up, mulling over the problem at hand. тАЬDuac, I
