Why Does Everyone in Britain Speak Modern English in My Pre-Norman-Conquest Dimension? Shouldnât That Require an Incredible Alignment of Social and Linguistic Factors That Would Never in a Million Years Align in Such a Convenient Way?
Apparently not.
We started toward the manor. The crux of our plan again depended on me. Hopefully, it would go better this time. I didnât want to resort to flaming words again; I did not trust them.
With Ealstanâs guidance, we kept to a less-traveled pathway. Perhaps someone would have noticed we didnât belong in the full light of day, but at night, Ealstanâs bearing prevented anyone from questioning us. He looked like an official man on official business.
Again, I was struck by how small the town was. It was one of the largest settlements in the regionâsurpassed only by Maelport, the earlâs seat. Yet we reached the manor in less than a minute; this entire compound couldnât be much larger than a football field.
The manor was similar to the one in Stenfordâlonger than it was tall, made entirely out of wood, but with open glassless windows showing a hearthâs glow from inside. A woman puttered around in front, setting out offerings. The runestone rested in a large, flat courtyard before the building. It was black and jagged across the top, and bigger than the one in Stenford, maybe four feet across and three times that tall.
This time, I couldnât deny it. The symbols etched on the black stone were glowing a soft blue.
The three of us loitered in the shadows while the woman finished her work. âHey,â I whispered. âIs the runestone here more powerful than the one in Stenford?â
âYes,â Sefawynn said. âIt was created to protect a larger area. It expels bogs and helps soothe helpful wights. Any residing in the region should help defend the city during an attack.â
âAnd my wight?â I said. âWill this affect it?â
âIt might weaken it,â Sefawynn said. âThe stone wants it to either settle down and protect the region, or to leave. Your wight is resisting both, staying bound to you. Whatever has attached to youânicor, draca, or some variety we havenât definedâitâs strong. Frighteningly so.â
âWait,â I said. âHow can you tell? How can you even see that I have a wight?â
âItâs a thing of skops,â Thokk said. âHow could they know if a wight was bound or loosed if they couldnât see the signs?â
How indeed. I glanced at Sefawynn, whose face was hidden in the shadows of her hood.
âSoâ¦â Thokk whispered. âWhy are we sneaking about again?â
âAgain, elder,â Ealstan said. âThis is dangerous. Perhaps you shouldââ
âWhy should I care if itâs dangerous?â Thokk said. âDo you know how old I am? I probably only have a few months left. Not much to risk here! So what are we doing?â
âRunian is going to persuade the reeve to tell us what he knows about Sefawynnâs brother,â Ealstan said. âOnce we know his location, Sefawynn and I will free him while Runian distracts the reeve.â
It was the compromise weâd come to.
