The Shattered Chain
“Jaelle wrapped a fold of her scarf across her bandaged cheek; her voice sounded muffled through it. “If these folk were not all living in the very shadow of Sain Scarp—and probably in their pay, or at least in fear of them—I think I would have left the horses here and tried the pass on foot. But I would not put such a strain on their honesty. There is a saying in the hills: ‘Don’t trust your bone to another man’s dog.’ “It was less than an hour before they had to light their saddle-lanterns; th...e small lamps, fueled with resin, cast dim light for a few feet in every direction, but beyond that the light scattered into fog against the curtain of the falling snow. The trail was beaten deep between rocks, and Magda was glad, for the snow blotted out landmarks, and they might stray from the trail and never find it again. But when she said this to Jaelle, the other woman laughed through the muffling of the scarf.“Just keep going up until there’s no farther you can go!
