We rode out early the next morning, as the sun just beginning to rise. No one spoke as we made our way out of Maia.

I awoke before the dawn that next day. I checked my packs and saddled Aditi. After securing everything I passed him over to a stable boy to lead him to where our Glren awaited us. I began my climb up the High Church of Ruah, heavy white church cloak over my blood hunter’s robes. … More Of Blood Chapter 15: The First
