Quotes edit see section history

• ““Tell them I gave my life with pride. Do not punish him if he kills me. Release him back into the wild, and my spirit will ride him into the mist.””

  Fasime

• “The prince was a familiar sight on the city’s walls, but the soldiers still bowed to him. Passing with a nod, Syah continued his vigil of the fields and forests surrounding Anteria. Farmers had begun preparing the soil for spring planting. The brisk breeze brought up sounds from the city, creaking carts transporting goods, city dwellers waking and conducting their business. Syah stopped, spotting a cluster of horses crossing the freshly tilled field to the north. Their pace was unhurried and the reason for their labored approach was apparent. A flash of black erupted amongst the gathered riders, tousling them. It was a captive horse, with a coat that gleamed like crow’s feathers. Syah knew it was not a steed of Anteria. “Guard!” the prince called. “Send for Oman. Inform him Fasime has returned.””
