I spent the entire day digging through the piles of stones. Lothfalas, lothfalas. No light, no luck.

Just before sunset I checked my knapsack for something to eat.

All of the biscuits were gone.

I’d been wearing the knapsack all day; how had the rats gotten into it? Cursed thieves!

Kicking stones out of the way, I went out to the doorstep. The flame dragon was gone from the spire above the cave mouth. I sat down on the edge of the step. The snow in the tin cup had melted down to water, which had a skin of ice on it now that the sun was setting and the air getting colder. The half-biscuit was still in my coat pocket, but I’d save it for later. I ate the last of the cheese and drank the water and stared out at the sky, burning flame-red behind the mountains where the sun was going down.

A bundle of black rags fell out of the sky and landed on the step next to me. No, not rags, a black bird.

“Hello, bird,” I said. It hopped onto my knee, cocking its head to look me over with its yellow eye. Its feathers were ruffled; it’d come all the way from Wellmet. A quill was tied to its leg. A note from Nevery written on thin paper.
