The next day, they left the fen. Doru led them up a hill and through a small gorge. When they came to the mouth of the ravine, they were met with a spectacular sight.

Despite their dire circumstances, a tiny gasp of awe escaped Keriya. Before her, an impossibly immense waterfall stretched from one end of the horizon to the other. Water cascaded from a high plateau, thundering into a river whose banks were crowded with stilted buildings and stately tiered towers. The sunset illuminated the spray from the falls, painting the sky and the settlement with rippling rainbows.

Blackwater set to work covering Thorion with a canvas tarp. Doru turned to his prisoners.

“We’re entering the Galantrian Village. You’ll go without protest, or there will be dire consequences for him.” He pointed to Thorion.

Bile rose in Keriya’s throat.

They made their way to a stone road that led toward the city at the base of the waterfall-mesa. A group of travelers on horseback passed them. The riders nodded respectfully to Doru, though they couldn’t be bothered to spare Keriya a second glance. She was shocked at their disinterest until she remembered she looked like a common criminal.

By the time they reached the outskirts of the Village, the relentless din of the falls had become little more than white noise. Keriya figured there was magic involved in keeping the sound at a minimum, for the roaring lessened as they moved further into the bustling city.

There were stone streets for horses and carts, and a network of crisscrossing waterways where boatmen poled long, thin vessels through giant lily pads, carrying goods and passengers alike. Garlands of colored lanterns hung between the buildings, providing a soft, warm illumination as night descended. Keriya viewed the beauty through an anxious, blurred haze, unable to appreciate the exotic splendor.

Doru marched them through a marketplace and led them over a bridge before leaving the bustle of the thoroughfare. They wound their way east along streets that became increasingly dingy and narrow. This part of town was poorly lit. People garbed in dark clothing ghosted through side alleys, lurking in doorways to see who was watching before they disappeared into shops of the most ominous natures.

Finally Doru stopped before a large stone building. A black-robed figure exited to greet him and the two conversed in low voices.

Then Doru turned to his captives. The smile he gave them promised a world of unpleasantness.
