Quinn walked through the halls in a depressed haze. She had been excused from the courtroom, along with the rest of the commoners, whilst the nobles and their aides hashed out the formalities of the manhunt. They would need to know what resources were required, and what the young Eden, whom everyone seemed keen to thrust to the fore, needed to make sure the Satori was captured fast. A torrent was carrying them all away, and Quinn felt washed out in their wake. Was it just a matter of time before they found her? Was Sammah going to allow her to suffer the mental torture of waiting for the wrong man to be found, before handing her over to the king anyway? She had sensed something different in Eden, something that she had been desperate to get to know. Now, she didn’t see any way she could get close to him to find out. She was his enemy and, whether Eden knew it or not, he hated Quinn. She had felt that much. Amidst the angry reactions to the potential existence of the Satori, the feeling that had hurt the most was the hatred directed to something that was, to everyone there, completely unknown. Was it hatred, because the Satori was the perceived killer of one of their own? Or was the malice because the Satori was something different; someone with unfathomable ability, and therefore someone to be derided or feared, as events decided?

Sirah had instructed Quinn to go straight to Sammah’s suite and wait for him. Two silent bodyguards escorted her. She didn’t know who was in charge of them now Elias had been exiled to the quarries, but there was no danger of her running away from them. The courtroom exchanges had left Quinn exhausted. As soon as she reached the apartments, she folded herself up on a carpet near a cool brazier. One of the mercenaries made to set it alight. Before its warmth even began to reach her, Quinn was asleep. She didn’t dream. For that much peace, she was glad.
