Chapter 82: The One Blessed By Blood
Sethlzaar looked up from his veils, shaken from his surprise.
She was old. Very old. Her weathered skin, leathery from age, drooped on both sides of her face where her cheeks hid beneath it all. It fell so low that it dangled with each facial movement. And she walked with a cane. Her hand trembled as she moved the cane, and when she walked towards his bed he was reminded of Cynth. He wondered if she was dying, too.

When night came a few of the adults had a fire burning as they did every night. It was a fire that would burn deep into the night, adding its crackling symphony to the forest's echoes, a new member of its orchestra surrounded by the adults who would talk and drink and make merry if they saw fit. But though it burned so late and would last the whole night if allowed, the gatherings often came to an end before the darkest of the night. Each adult leaving at spaced intervals. Those new to the responsibilities of being husbands or wives always retired first, having drunk very little, retiring early either in a bid not to annoy their new spouses or a desire for the benefits of new marriages.

It was high noon when they began their return to the tribe. Despite the hunt being ended, the men never broke formation. Always alert with each step, unlike their arrival, they walked with a caution, weapons drawn and arrows notched. It was an almost trained disposition, and Sethlzaar might have been impressed if more troubling things did not plague his mind.It bore it too, he thought, eyes fixed on the carcass of the animal they'd hunted. He had taken aim, and in those moments he had caught sight of the darkness of wisps clinging to its features; del

Sethlzaar crossed the expanse of the tribe, by-passing the tents as he moved. Wraith's attention twitched at his movement while a boy watched from a tent far removed from the wolf with a focused intensity. The child was no more than his tenth summer, and though he thought himself hidden, Wraith was just as aware of his presence as it was of Sethlzaar's. He passed Cenam where he sat tending to his veils without a word of acknowledgement even when his brother looked up at him.

"The nerve of you, Priest!" Iyvena snarled. "You will have us break an oath given by ancestors who walked Ayla as early as time began. This is madness, even for you. And thinking we will help you simply for who you are is greater proof that you don't know what you are asking. If you think it's so important, then why don't you reveal it yourself, hm?"Valerik was losing a hold on his patience as she spoke. Women her age were never intended to talk so much. He'd always thought age came with wisdom, and a certain amount of sluggi

relationship with Saelin, Sethlzaar found he had to work harder if he intended on revealing nothing. The report was short lived and his brother ended it with a suggestion that at this rate he was bound to break his oath of celibacy. Sethlzaar wondered if the annoyance he'd heard in his brother's voice as he spoke of Saelin had been his imagination or if it had truly been present as Monsignor Shrowl mulled over the report."Father Vi Sorlan," Shrowl addressed him.
