“And I will be fine.”

“We know,” Quill began. “But are you—”

Amalin sighed. “But what?”

“Are you coming with us?”

“No.”

“I thought so.”

“What?”

“You’re going to help.”

Amalin gave another one of her not-so-convincing smiles. “I have to,” she said. “For our world, for Bayden. Ophallo may be dead, but there are still people who revere his name even if we have forgotten what he looks like. The Purifiers who attack those with the blood of Man in them and—and the Order of the Anti-Child who were just getting started before we got here. Quill, who knows how much worse it has become? Bayden could be wiped off the map because of this lie. I have to help Henry.”

Quill nodded in agreement. “And to do that, what will you do?”

“First, I will get a few more details from him,” Amalin said, “like if his wife really did use a Last Breath and what that meant. I will even hear of why he waited until now to work the one bit of magic that would have cleared his name—then I will send him on his way.”

“You mean you’ll go back to Penthya?”

Quill looked at the Kawshun horses nearby, all four that stood staring at the group by the Pool. He smiled sad.

“I won’t be going with you now,” Amalin said, “but that doesn’t mean I’m leaving for good. I will point Henry Ash towards the correct direction. I’ll meet you later.”

“We’ll take two horses,” Quill said. “And do you have your flask? If you fill it now, it will last for months. You won’t have to reenter the Kawshun for who knows how long.”

“Quill, I’m not—” Amalin began.

Quill moved. He threw his arms around his sister. “You should have never been here,” he said. “I want you to go.”

He hugged her for quite a while as Ash could hear Amalin try and fail to give a reply. There were only gasps, wet smacks of an empty mouth.

“I…I’m not leaving,” Amalin finally said. “I’m just going to point the way.”

“But you want to help, don’t you?” Quill asked. He let her go as he slowly walked back towards the Kawshun horses, one of which Fara and Thur were already upon.

“Of course.”

“Then go,” Quill said. He jumped onto the first horse he reached. “You have to.”
