       Josua's mood darkened。 ;That was a blow。 Still�察�when I saw that Swertclif was unguarded�察�I had little hope left we would find it there。;
       ;We always knew we would have to go inside the Hayholt to get that fairy´sword�察�Sorrow。; Isgrimnur pulled at his beard again and made a noise of disgust。 War was difficult enough without these magical plexities。 ;I suppose we can go in for two as easily as one。;
       ;If it is even inside the walls�察─�Josua pointed out。 ;That hole in the side of my father's cairn looked a hurried thing to me´not what I would have expected from Pryrates or my brother�察�who need hide their works from no one。;
       ;But who else would do it�拭�
       ;We still do not know what happened to my niece and Simon and the troll。;
       Isgrimnur grunted。 ;I doubt that Miriamele or young Simon would have taken the blade and just disappeared。 Where are they�拭�They both know what Bright´Nail is worth to us。;
Camaris' sudden outcry made the duke flinch。
       ;All the swords� �God's Nails�察�I can feel them�察�all three� �They sing to each other´and to me。; He sighed。 ;Oh�察�Josua�察�how I wish I could silence them� ─�
       The prince turned。 ;Can you truly feel Bright´Nail�拭�
       The old knight nodded。 ;It is a voice。 I cannot explain�察�but I hear it´and so does Thorn。;  ;But do you know where it is�拭�
       Camaris shook his head。 ;No。 It´the part that calls to me´is not in a place。 But they wish to e together inside the walls。 There is need。 The time is growing short。;
       Josua grimaced。 ;It sounds as though Binabik and the others were right。 Hours are marching by�此�if the swords are any use to us�察�we must find them and discover that use soon。;
Madness�察�thought Isgrimnur。 Our lives�察�our land�察�ruled by madness out of old tales。 What would Prester John have thought�察�who worked so hard to drive the fairy´folk out of his kingdom and to push the shadows away��
;We cannot fly over those walls�察�Josua�察─�he pointed out。 ;We've won a victory in Nabban and sailed north in such a short time that folk will talk of it for years。 But we cannot fly an army into the Hayholt like a flock of starlings。;
;There are other ways 。。。; Camaris whispered。 Josua looked at him sharply�察�but before he could discover whether this was more singing´sword maundering or something useful�察�another shape appeared in the tent doorway�察�acpanied by a blast of chill air and a few snowflakes。
;Your pardon�察�Prince Josua。; It was Sludig�察�in mail and helm。 He nodded to Isgrimnur。 ;My lord。;
       ;What is it�拭�
       ;We were riding the far side of Swertclif�察�as you asked。 Searching。;
       ;And you found something�拭─�Josua stood�察�his face carefully expressionless。
       ;Not found something。 Heard something。; Sludig was obviously exhausted�察�as though he had ridden far and fast。 ;Horns in the far distance。 From the north。;
       ;From the north�拭�How far away�拭�
;It is hard to say�察�Prince Josua。; Sludig spread his hands�察�as though he could find the words by touch。 ;They were not like any horns I have heard。 But they were very faint。;
       ;Thank you�察�Sludig。 Are there sentries on Swertclif�拭─ �On the near side�察�Highness�察�out of sight of the castle。; ;I do not care if anyone sees them�察─�the prince said。 ;I am more concerned about who might be ing down on us from the north。 If you and your men are tired�察�ask Hotvig to take some of his grasslanders and ride down the far side toward the skirts of Aldheorte。 Tell them to return immediately if they see something ing。; ;I will�察�Prince Josua。; Sludig went out。 Josua turned to Isgrimnur。 ;What do you think�拭�Is the Storm King going to play the same hand he produced at Naglimund�拭�
;Perhaps。 But you had castle walls�察�there。 Here we have nothing before us but open land�察�and nothing behind us but the Kynslagh。;
       ;Yes�察�but we have several thousand men here�察�too。 And no innocents to worry over。 If my brother's chief ally thinks he will find us as easy a nut to crack as before�察�he will be disappointed。;
Isgrimnur stared at the fierce´eyed prince�察�then at Camaris�察�who held his head in his hands and stared at the tabletop。
       Is Josua right�拭�Or are we the last raveled end of John's empire�察�waiting for a final pull before it falls into threads��
       ;I suppose we'd better go and talk to a few of the captains。; The duke got up and held his hands close to the brazier�察�trying to dispel some of the chill。 ;Better we tell them something's ing than they hear it by rumor。; He made a noise of disgust。 ;Looks like we don't get much sleep。;

       Miriamele stared at Cadrach。 She�察�who had heard him lie so many times�察�could not free herself of the horrifying certainty that this time he was telling the truth。
       Or the truth as he sees it�察�anyway�察�she tried to fort herself。
She looked at Binabik�察�who had narrowed his eyes in concentration�察�then returned to Cadrach's bleak face。 ;Doomed�拭�Do you mean some danger beside that we already face�拭�
       He met her stare。 ;Doomed beyond hope。 And I have played no little part in it。;
       ;What is it you are saying�拭─�demanded Binabik。
       The dwarrow Yis´fidri seemed to want little to do with this volatile and frightening conversation�察�he hesitated�察�fingers flexing。
       ;What I am saying�察�troll�察�is that all the scurrying about in caverns that we do here matters little。 Whether we escape the White Foxes outside�察�whether your Prince Josua knocks down the walls�察�whether God Himself sends lightning down from Heaven to blast Elias to ash 。。。 none of it matters。;
       Miriamele felt her guts twist at the certainty in his voice。 ;Tell us what you mean。;
       The monk's hard face crumpled。 ;Aedon's mercy� �Everything you have thought about me is true�察�Miriamele。 Everything。; A tear ran down his cheek。 ;God help me´although He has no reason to´I have done such foul things。。。。;
       ;Curse you�察�Cadrach�察�will you explain� �
       As if this outburst had somehow pushed Yis´fidri past what he could bear�察�the dwarrow got up and moved away rapidly�察�going to join his whispering fellows on the other side of the cavern。
Cadrach wiped at his eyes and nose with his dirty sleeve。 ;I told you of my capture by Pryrates�察─�he said to Miriamele。
       ;You did。; And she in turn had told Binabik and others on Sesuad'ra�察�so she felt no need to retell the tale now。
       ;I told you that after I had betrayed the booksellers�察�Pryrates threw me out�察�thinking I was dead。;
       She nodded。
       'That was not true´or at least it did not happen then。; He took a breath。 ;He set me to spy on Morgenes and others I had known from my days as a Scrollbearer。; 
       ;And you did it�拭�
       ;If you think I hesitated�察�my lady�察�you do not know how fiercely a drunkard and coward can cling to his life´or how terrified of Pryrates' anger I was。 You see�察�I knew him。 I knew that the injuries he had done to my flesh in his tower were nothing set against what he could do if he truly wished to make me suffer。;
       ;So you spied for him�殖 �Spied on Morgenes�拭�
       Cadrach shook his head。 ;I tried´by the Tree�察�how I tried� �But Morgenes was no fool。 He knew that I had fallen into dreadful straits�察�and that the red priest knew both of us from elder days。 He gave me food and a night's lodging�察�but he was suspicious。 He made sure there was nothing for me to find in either his chambers or his discourse that would be useful to someone like Pryrates。; Cadrach shook his head。 ;If anything�察�my efforts only taught Morgenes that he had less time than he had hoped。;
;So you failed�拭─�Miriamele could not see where this was leading�察�but a deep dread was spreading through her。 
       ;Yes。 And I was terrified。 When I went back to Hjeldin's Tower�察�Pryrates was angry。 But he did not kill me�察�or do something worse�察�as I feared。 Instead he asked me more questions about Du Svardenvyrd。 I think by then he had already been touched by the Storm King and was beginning to bargain with him。; Cadrach's look turned contemptuous。 ;As if any mortal could successfully bargain with one such as that� �I doubt Pryrates has even yet realized what has e through the door he opened。;
       ;We will talk of what thing Pryrates has done later�察─�said Binabik。 ;You are telling us now of things you have been doing。;
       The monk stared at him。 ;They are less separate than you think�察─�he said at last。 ;Pryrates asked me many questions�察�but for one who had read Du Svardenvyrd´indeed�察�for one who knew Nisses' book so well that the memory of its words still haunts my thoughts daily´it was easy enough to see the direction behind his questions。 Somehow he had been reached by the Storm King�察�and now Pryrates was eager to know about the three Great Swords。;
       ;So Pryrates does know about the swords。; Miriamele took a shaky breath。 ;I suppose he was the one who took Bright´Nail from the mound�察�then。;
       Cadrach held up his hand。 ;Pryrates dealt with me harshly for failing with Morgenes。 Then he had me send a message to old Jarnauga in the north�察�asking for information about the Storm King。 I suspect that the alchemist was looking for ways to defend himself against his new and very dangerous friend。 He made me write it as he watched�察�then sent it himself with a sparrow he had filched from Morgenes。 He let me go free again。 He was sure I would not run away when he could so easily locate me。
       ;But you did run away�察─�Miriamele said。 ;You told me so。
       Cadrach nodded。 ;Eventually。 But not then。 My fear was too great。 But at the same time I knew that Jarnauga would not respond。 The Rimmersman and Morgenes were closer than Pryrates realized�察�and I had no doubt the doctor would have already written to tell Jarnauga about my unexpected visit。 In any case�察�Jarnauga had been living in Stormspike's shadow for years and would not have opened his mind to anyone he did not know for certain to be untouched by Ineluki's long hand。 So I knew that the imposture Pryrates had forced me to mit was useless�察�and that when the red priest discovered it�察�he would have no use left for me。 My only worth was as one who had read Nisses' book and as a former Scrotlbearer。 But I had answered all of his questions about the book�察�and now he would discover that the other Scrollbearers had stopped trusting me years befor
