A Guile of Dragons
“Morlock struck a final blow at the planking before him. The wood splintered and fell; a wide breach had been opened in the wooden wall surrounding the hill. He turned away and walked over to the tree where he had left the horse. He untied the reins he had knotted around a low branch.
He looked the horse in the eye. There had never been any affection between them. But he had never mistreated the horse, nor did he do so now. “Go home,” he said, and added a word of Westhold dialect, resonant w...ith power. The horse turned and ran along the wooden wall toward the Rangan outpost.
Morlock climbed through the breach in the wall and walked a little way up the slope. He sat down on a convenient rock and waited.
