 into my hand several times before he managed to drag me from that pool。 How he did it; I will never know。 But his head still rested on my chest when they found us; his mortal bonds to this world had broken。 Nosy was dead。 I believe he gave his life freely; recalling that we had been good to one another when we were puppies。 Men cannot grieve as dogs do。 But we grieve for many years。
        
       EPILOGUE
       〃YOU ARE WEARIED;〃 my boy says。 He is standing at my elbow and I do not know how long he has been there。 He reaches forward slowly; to lift the pen from my lax grip。 Wearily I regard the faltering trail of ink it has tracked down my page。 I have seen that shape before; I think; but it was not ink then。 A trickle of drying blood on the deck of a Red…Ship; and mine the hand that spilled it? Or was it a tendril of smoke rising black against a blue sky as I rode too late to warn a village of a Red…Ship raid? Or poison swirling and unfurling yellowly in a simple glass of water; poison I had handed someone; smiling all the while? The artless curl of a strand of woman's hair left upon my pillow? Or the trail a man's heels left in the sand as we dragged the bodies from the smoldering tower at Sealbay? The track of a tear down a mother's cheek as she clutched her Forged infant to her despite his angry cries? Like Red…Ships; the memories e without warning; without mercy。 〃You should rest;〃 the boy says again; and I realize I am sitting; staring at a line of ink on a page。 It makes no sense。 Here is another sheet spoiled; another effort to set aside。
       〃Put them away;〃 I tell him; and do not object as he gathers all the sheets and stacks them haphazardly together。 Herbary and history; maps and musings; all a hodgepodge in his hands as they are in my mind。 I can no longer recall what it was I set out to do。 The pain is back; and it would be so easy to quiet it。 But that way lies madness; as has been proven so many times before me。 So instead I send the boy to find two leaves of carryme; and ginger root and peppermint to make a tea for me。 I wonder if one day I will ask him to fetch three leaves of that Chyurdan herb。
       Somewhere; a friend says softly; 〃No。〃
