slashing a tired, bitter face over eyes that were like
RoodтАЩs hauntingly familiar. The king stopped in front of
him, stood silently surveying him.
He smiled unexpectedly, the bitterness in his eyes
yielding to a strange wonder. тАЬIтАЩve seen you,тАЭ he said, тАЬin
my dreams. Star-Bearer.тАЭ
тАЬMathom.тАЭ His throat was very dry. He bent his head
to the king he had summoned out of the night of An. тАЬYou
mustтАж you must be wondering what IтАЩm doing.тАЭ
тАЬNo. You made that very clear, as you explained it to
the army you raised. You do astounding things so quietly
in my land.тАЭ
тАЬI asked DuacтАЩs permission.тАЭ
тАЬIтАЩm sure Duac was grateful for the suggestion.
YouтАЩre going to sail with them to Hed? Is that what I
heard?тАЭ
тАЬI donтАЩt... I was thinking of riding with Raederle to
Caithnard and meeting the ships there, but I think perhaps
I should sail with the dead. It would make the living men
on the ships feel easier, if I am with them.тАЭ
тАЬYouтАЩre taking Raederle to Hed?тАЭ
тАЬShe wonтАЩt... she wonтАЩt listen to reason.тАЭ
The king grunted. тАЬStrange woman.тАЭ His eyes were as

Morgon asked him suddenly, тАЬWhat have you seen of
me, in your dreams?тАЭ
тАЬPieces. Fragments. Little that will help you, and
much more than is good for me. Long ago, I dreamed that
you came out of a tower with a crown in your hand and
three stars on your face... but no name. I saw you with a
beautiful young woman, whom I knew was my daughter,
but still, I never knew who you were. I saw...тАЭ He shook
his head a little, drawing his gaze back out of some
perplexing, dangerous vision.
тАЬWhat?тАЭ
тАЬI am not sure.тАЭ
тАЬMathom.тАЭ He felt cold suddenly in the warm summer
night. тАЬBe careful. There are things in your mind that
could cost you your life.тАЭ
тАЬOr my land-law?тАЭ His lean hand closed on MorgonтАЩs
shoulder. тАЬPerhaps. That is why I rarely explain my
thoughts. Come to the house. There will be a minor
tempest when I reappear, but if you can sit patiently
through that, we will have time to talk afterward.тАЭ He
took a step, but Morgon did not move. тАЬWhat is it?тАЭ
He swallowed. тАЬThere is something I have to tell you.
Before I walk into your hall with you. Seven days ago, I
walked into it to kill a harpist.тАЭ
He heard the king draw a swift breath. тАЬDeth came
