I must have at some point slid into exhausted sleep, for I jerked awake

into fearful reality as I heard noise. The sun was rising, the air cold and crisp.

The wolves had woken and were staring south again, silent and still, ears

pricked. Then they began to make little yelps of excitement, tails wagging.

Movement in the trees caught my attention and the wolves danced up to

the newcomer while I watched in stunned silence.

Vlar bent to touch each wolf, petting eager heads and patting shoulders

and backs presented for his attention. He spoke softly to them, his voice gentle

and loving as I had never heard it. Then his face creased in anger as he

discovered the dagger wound in the largest wolf. Immediately he put down his

pack and began to rummage in it, bringing out supplies to treat the seeping

gash.

Never once did he glance at me, as though I were beneath notice.

I began to shake. All around me lay madness, utter madness. Slowly, so

as to not bring notice upon myself, I turned my head and stared out blindly

into the woods. All this had been for nothing, absolutely nothing. I would be

returned to my father, and it would be as though nothing had happened—a

tear ran down my face—except for the fates of these men.

I closed my eyes as reality arrived with finality. If I had not done what I

had, if I had not run, these men would still be alive. They had died because of

me, because of my actions. They had died as surely as if I myself had wielded a

blade to their throats. What did that make me?

Masarian…I thought to myself. I am truly Masarian… and lost to all hope.
