To Lord Bellános Dallanar, Duke of Kon and High King of Remain –

Dávanor is now besieged from within by Murderous Traitors bent upon the Complete Ruin of our High House. We call, most urgently, for your Arms and Aid. Loyal Soldiers and very Good Dragons die here for Your Sake, their Sworn Oaths upheld in accordance with our good High Laws. In the Great Sisters' names – help us.

Anna Dyer, Dragon Squire

House Dradón

She took the high silver tube from the inner pocket of her breastplate, the one that she'd found on the dead messenger dragon. She rolled the letter, slid it inside, then tucked the tube back in her pocket. She knew that Master Khondus would have his own message and his own plan to get word to Kon.

"But Master Khondus could be dead," she said suddenly.

She looked at Voidbane.

She had to admit that.

Moondagger whined.

They could all be dead. Anna shut her eyes.

Dagger hissed and whined.

"Listen to me," she said, eyes still shut.

Dagger went quiet.

She opened her eyes, looked at him. "I swear to you, on your life and mine, we will have justice here. And we will bring it."

The crow cawed, even louder. Anna looked at it, reached for her pistol, then stopped herself.

She had more urgent targets.

The crow seemed to sense her intent and leapt away with a lonely caw.

Then, somewhere far below in the High Keep, a single gunshot rang out.

Dagger's head jerked up.

Another gunshot. A distant report.

Dagger growled. Anna cocked her head.

Another shot. Very distant. But unmistakable.

Gunfire.

In the High Keep.

Two more shots, widely spaced. Then a short volley, a spattering.

Then a distant battle cry and a long flurry of gunfire.

A deep explosion. Cannon.

Then a long, high cry followed by an eruption of gunfire and the crash of metal on metal.

It was happening.
