\u201cLoose tiles rattled and slid, bouncing off tall towers into the black depths below, and the wind whistled through the Old Keep, finding every crack and chink in its shutters and blowing the dust of years along the floors.\u00a0 It whispered in the tattered hangings that had once graced the High Hall, back in those far-off days when the hall had blazed with light and laughter, gleaming with jewel and sword.\u00a0 Now the cool, dry fingers of wind teased their frayed edges and banged a whole succession of doors that long neglect had loosened on their hinges.\u00a0 Stone and mortar were still strong, even here, and the shutters held against the elements, but everything else was given over to the slow corrosion of time.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThink what you would of Haimyr the Golden, Jehane Mor reflected, listening, but he could tell a good tale. He made their arrival at the Keep of Winds, in the middle of a formal Derai feast, sound full of portent, an opening hung about with the frayed darkness of ancient story\u2014then let that darkness deepen into the blood and horror of the Darkswarm\u2019s surprise attack and the disappearance of the Heir of Night. The request for the heralds\u2019 assistance with the subsequent search became a flourish out of legend, and every step into the shadows of the Old Keep more fraught, sweeping the listeners through the Darkswarm attacks and into the final, deadly encounter with the Raptor of Darkness.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

An opener of ways: the epithet…became a weight as Garan remembered that Malian of Night\u2019s power was believed to have come from her mother, Lady Nerion. And someone had known how to get into the Old Keep and bring down the New Keep\u2019s defensive wards . . . Garan gritted his teeth, remembering Night\u2019s tally of dead and injured from the Swarm attack and its aftermath. He wondered, too, if the reason Nhairin was keeping her face so resolutely\u00a0averted was because one must never meet a demon\u2019s gaze\u2014 or the eyes of one who had fallen beneath a demon\u2019s sway.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
