Briel took a step closer, and Jalist tensed. Briel spoke in a whisper as sharp as arrows. “I was nearly cut to pieces, Dwarr. I should be dead. Even those few of us who have actually seen Shel’ai magic know that what your wytch did is far beyond what any Shel’ai can do.”

Jalist heard a tremor in the Sylv’s voice, uncertain if it was awe or fear.

“So understand, this was not my choosing. In this, I agree with the general. And I want nothing more to do with your wytch—now or ever. But I am a member of the Shal’tiar. I follow my captain’s orders. And it seems the wytch impressed him enough to change his mind.” Briel gave him a final icy look before he stalked away.

Jalist swore. Then he had an idea. Briel would be waiting south of the stronghold. Maybe Silwren and Rowen did not yet know that Captain Essidel had changed his mind. Maybe if he said nothing…

He shook his head. He had seen the look on Rowen’s face—determination bordering on madness. He knew that look. Rowen would make his way into the Wytchforest, all the way to the World Tree, no matter how pointless or suicidal the task was.

But do I have to go with him? Jalist cursed himself. He might have been disgraced among his own people and a worthless sellsword besides, but he had given his word—or implied as much. He would see Rowen Locke safely to the legendary World Tree and the Sylvan city of Shaffrilon. After that, he was on his own.

And then what? Go back to Stillhammer and let them kill me? Or head south and die in some ditch for a few copper pennies?

“Decide that later,” he grumbled and went to find the others.
