The White Tree
“The day, by coincidence, of the execution.
Dante watched the sun spark up over the roofs of the east. He'd loved this day when he was younger. The night before was Falmac's Eve, the Night of Fire, the night Carvahal flew down from exile to take arms against white-bearded Taim who'd thrown him out for bringing the fire to man; the night when head-high stacks of wood were burnt in the squares and boys wore masks and "robbed" men of apples and tin pennies in the street, "slaying" any man who bore ...a beard. The theater dressed in yellows and reds and bright-burning gems and played out Carvahal's original betrayal, how he lit a torch from the Millstar of the northern heavens and descended with it from the skies to the earth. Taim saw the blaze of its fall and gathered his children and his children's children to destroy whoever'd defied him, but Carvahal brought the torch to Eric the Draconat, he who ate dragons' hearts, and Eric climbed the ladder of the heavens to duel winged, scale-backed Daris and so win his northern army to face the forces of Taim.MoreLess
