A Fall of Princes
“Sarevan Is’kelion.”
They had come for him. So soon. He was up before his eyes were well open, hissing fiercely, “Don’t wake him. Don’t make him do it. Take me now and get it over.”
“Sun-prince.”
The voice was—baffled? Amused? Sarevan glared through a tangle of hair; he raked it back.
Prince Aranos regarded him with great interest.
He eased, and yet he tensed. “Good. You can do it. Don’t tell him till it’s done.”
Aranos said nothing. Slowly Sarevan’s mind recorded what his eyes were seeing. The ...silken chamber had vanished. These walls were stone, stark and unadorned, and the floor was stone spread with woven mats. The ceiling was a grey vault from which hung a cluster of lamps.
None was lit. The light that filled the room came pouring from a high round window. Sunlight, bright, with little warmth in it.
Sarevan turned completely about. The bed was intact, rich and foreign in this stark place, with Hirel coiled in it. The scars on his side and thigh, though paling with age, were livid still.MoreLess
