As night fell, Ai walked out onto the main street of the village with the sword in her hands. It took almost no time at all for her to be surrounded by ghosts, the commander appearing right in front of her, his eyes fixed on the weapon he had owned in life.

‘I cleaned it up,’ she said. The weapon had polished up beautifully. With the rust gone, the sheen of the blade was clear, as was the engraving on the trailing edge. The draconic design was based more on the western notion of a dragon, a serpentine beast without wings. It was distinctively a Cheol Uitang design. ‘This is a very fine weapon. We’ve talked it over, and our plan is to take it back to where it was found.’

The ghost looked up. Then he nodded.

‘There’s just one problem. If we can’t get out of the valley…’

The ghost shook his head. He said something and, while there was no sound, his lips moved in such a way that ‘it won’t be a problem’ came across to Ai.

‘Thank you. We’ll be leaving tomorrow, as soon as we’ve decided who’s going.’

Another nod.

‘You already killed the man who took this. There’s no need for further retribution.’

He paused for longer than Ai would have liked, but then he nodded. And then the ghosts faded away, leaving Ai once again in the dark and the fog.

‘At least I have a better idea of which way to walk tonight.’
