Someone stuck a head in at the door and said, ‘Bring him along. We’re marching.’

‘Any more?’ asked Beric’s guard, as he straightened up.

The other spat disgustedly. ‘Neither hide nor hair of a one. The scrub is riddled with runs.’

They marched Beric out of the storeroom, out of the house. They thrust him into the midst of a score of Legionaries who were falling in in the farm-yard. A defiant bleat sounded from the hillside above, and Beric noticed that the goat-fold was empty. Either the goats had broken out, or someone had contrived to let them out. Maybe that was Rhodope.

The light seemed to be growing very quickly, a fiercer and more fitful light than the dayspring, and snatching a glance over his shoulder as the whole company moved off at the Centurion’s order, Beric saw that they had fired the thatch. The flames looked pale, oddly bloodless in the dawn.
