Galway grabbed the kettle from the fire as it started to whistle and poured some water into a mug, adding tea leaves. His shoulders hunched against the cold, he carried the mug back to the tent shared by most of the single men. It wasn’t much warmer inside, and he left his heavy cloak on as he went to a cot partway down the right side. Devon was there, still shaking, his face ashen and one hand pressed over his mouth. Galway didn’t understand what had happened, but apparently it terrified the other man.

He handed Devon the mug and forced him to take a swallow. “Are you going to tell me what happened?” he asked.

“You don’t want to know,” Devon replied. “Trust me, you don’t. Gods, that was so close. He could have killed us all.”

“Heyou?” Galway asked, puzzled. “That’s crazy.”

“You have no idea.”

The tent flap opened, a blast of cold wind preceding Morgal and some of the men who now led the Community. All of them looked shaken and angry. Devon put the mug down, his hands still trembling so badly that he nearly dropped it.

“What’s going on with the sylphs?” Morgal demanded. “I think you two know.”

“Not me.” Galway shrugged. He regarded Devon appraisingly. “He thinks Heyou is dangerous.”

“Heyou?” Morgal asked. “Who’s Heyou?”

“The boy who was injured,” one of the other men reminded him. His name was Norlud. “The one Luck nearly killed herself to heal.”

“How’d he get hurt?” asked a third man, called Borish. “I didn’t see a mark on him when he got here.”

Devon ran his hands through his hair, staring at nothing. “He got into a fight with one of the battlers that attacked you. They devastated the village they were in.”

The men of the Community stared. “That’s impossible.”

Devon took a shaky breath. He couldn’t keep this secret. Someone might die if he did. “Heyou—” He choked. “Heyou’s a battle sylph.”
