Between Worlds: the Collected Ile-Rien And Cineth Stories
““Holy Places” is the story of how Giliead and Ilias first met.
Even at only eight seasons old, Ilias knew Cineth’s god didn’t really eat children, no matter what his older brother had told him. Castor was only two seasons older and Ilias knew he lied a lot, sometimes to try to frighten Ilias and more often to make himself sound knowledgeable. So when Castor pointed out the new Chosen Vessel at the market, Ilias wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not.
He was sitting on his heels, watching a...nts build a nest in the dirt, bored by the adult haggling all around him. The afternoon sun was warm and bright and the market tents were all pitched under the big trees of the plaza. Men and women haggled over bags of grain, amphorae of wine and olive oil, fleeces, goatskins. The further end of the market was where the potters and metal-workers and other crafters spread their blankets to sell pottery and dyed cloth, knives and trinkets of carved wood and copper and polished stone jewelry.MoreLess
