Return to Eddarta (2014)
“It was a bittersweet stay, because some of the Iribos Fa’aldu had been intimately involved in the ill-fated slave escape route. We took aside Veron, the young man we knew to be one of the activists, and told him the truth about the “safe house” in Chizan—that it was one and the same end destination of the less altruistic escape route that recruited dying slaves for the Living Death, a specialized, untraceable corps of assassins. The people helped by the Fa’aldu were recruited into the less savo...ry areas of Chizan’s rogueworld, or they were killed.
The Fa’aldu at Iribos already knew why we were there, of course. Not even sha’um could outrun the fast-flying maufa, dove-sized birds that carried messages in cleverly contrived breast pouches. The Fa’aldu were slightly amazed that we made no effort to conceal the sha’um from the travelers who came and went during the three days we stayed at Iribos, resting ourselves and the sha’um.
From the foot of the Zantro Pass (the second half of the Chizan Crossing), we had traveled in the same kind of rocky desert that lay between Relenor and Thagorn.MoreLess
