Demonwars Saga volume 2: Mortalis - Ascendance - Transcendence - Immortalis (The Demonwars Saga)
“MARCALO DE’UNNERO ASKED, TRYING HARD AND futilely to keep the excitement from showing on his weathered face.
Sadye’s brown eyes twinkled mischievously.
“How do you confirm …” De’Unnero started to ask, but he stopped short and waved his hand, knowing better than to doubt his clever companion. If Sadye said that the sword and bow of Nightbird, the great Tempest and Hawkwing, were buried side by side in cairns just outside Dundalis, then Marcalo De’Unnero would accept her claim as fact.
“It may be... guarded,” the former monk reasoned.
“The grove is outside the village, and few travel there—particularly now, since Jilseponie sits on her throne, and Roger Lockless haunts Palmaris,” Sadye replied. “Beyond those two, few care enough to bother, I would guess. We are far removed from the days of heroics.”
De’Unnero smiled, but there was a sadness in that smile, a regret that all the momentous events of just a dozen or so years before, including those heroics of Elbryan the Nightbird, could be so readily and easily forgotten.MoreLess
