CHAPTER 11

BLACK BLOOD

Summer, 1371 DR

Darrow did not escape the People of the Black Blood. He had run less than five miles from the lodge before the wolves dragged him to the ground. In the panic that seized him upon first seeing his pursuers, he dropped his useless sword and begged for his life. His screams for mercy did nothing to save him from the ripping claws of the werewolves. Nor did his blubbering pleas stop the hungry mouths from feasting on his body. Only as his lifeblood seeped into the soft ground of the Arch Wood did salvation arrive.

It came in the form of a silver wolf.

The three-legged beast chased the other predators from the kill, then sat beside Darrow’s dying body and looked down into his face. As Darrow looked up at the big wolf, it shifted back into the form of Rusk, the Huntmaster.

“The Hunt is over,” he declared. Then with a chant to Malar, he pressed his burning hands on Darrow’s gaping wounds and sealed them. He cast spell after spell, until at last Darrow could breathe.

“Why?” Darrow whispered. “Why did you save me?”

Rusk chuckled deep in his chest. “Because I have use for you.”
