тАШAnd was taken by Mandrocs?тАЩ Fyndal continued. Jaldaric looked puzzled, but nodded.

Fyndal reined his horse to a halt, as if he needed a momentтАЩs stillness to assimilate this information. His
brother too seemed to be affected.

The three riders behind them also stopped.

Then Fyndal clicked his horse forward again. тАШWhy have you returned?тАЩ he asked, his manner still
uncertain.

тАШYou not only follow, you interrogate,тАЩ Jaldaric began, but Arinndier leaned forward and interrupted him.

тАШWeтАЩre representatives of the Geadrol,тАЩ he said. тАШWeтАЩve important news for all the Orthlundyn, and
Isloman told us that we should seek out his brother Loman and the Memsa Gulda at Anderras Darion.тАЩ

Again Fyndal showed surprise. тАШYouтАЩve spoken to Isloman?тАЩ he said. тАШWhere is he? Was Hawklan with
him?тАЩ

He gestured to the following riders, who spurred forward to join the group. Jaldaric and the others
exchanged glances. тАШWho taught you the High GuardsтАЩ hand language, Fyndal?тАЩ Jaldaric asked.

тАШLoman,тАЩ Fyndal answered. тАШHe taught it to all of us.тАЩ

тАШUs?тАЩ queried Arinndier.

тАШThe Helyadin,тАЩ Fyndal replied.

All FyndalтАЩs answers were uttered straightforwardly and in the manner of someone stating the obvious.
Arinndier opened his mouth to ask for an explanation, but Fyndal repeated his inquiry.

тАШWhen did you see Hawklan and Isloman?тАЩ he said, concern beginning to show through his affability.
тАШWhere are they? Are they safe?тАЩ

Arinndier shook his head. тАШWe donтАЩt know where they are,тАЩ he said, then pausing thoughtfully he added,
тАШThey left Fyorlund some time ago with two of our men to return to Anderras Darion. IтАЩd hoped theyтАЩd
be in Orthlund by now.тАЩ
Fyndal frowned unhappily and made to speak again, but this time Arinndier took the initiative.

тАШWhat we do know about Isloman and Hawklan weтАЩll tell to Loman and Memsa Gulda when we meet,
Fyndal,тАЩ he said. тАШThat and a great many other things. Then itтАЩs up to them what they choose to tell you.
You understand, IтАЩm sure. In the meantime, perhaps you could tell us who you are. And what the
Helyadin are, and why you follow and question visitors to Orthlund. And why this man Loman should see
fit to teach you our High GuardsтАЩ hand language.тАЩ

тАШWeтАЩre just . . . soldiers,тАЩ Fyndal answered, with a slight hesitation. тАШWeтАЩre on border patrol, making
sure that nothing . . . unpleasant . . . comes into our land unchallenged again. Loman taught us the hand
language because he said it was a good oneтАЩ тАУ he gave a subdued laugh тАУ тАШand it was the only one he
knew. HeтАЩs taught us a lot of other things as well.тАЩ
