\par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 \tab The mild weather snuck away in the night, setting the stage for their departure, to be a much more bitterly cold and uncomfortable affair. After sundown the temperature dropped unti
l snow fell in a scintillating curtain of white, crystal-soft flakes. They danced along the wind, dazzling and fleeting in the moonlight as they did summersaults and dizzying spiral dives before collecting in a gr
aceless mass grave all along the docks, their frantic, joyful celebration of cold and movement and life meeting the inevitable earthbound end that all snowflakes meet, except perhaps the extra special ones.
\par \tab Rael\rquote s breath curled up in puffing tendrils of fog, barely visible in the dim light cast by the half-moon and the lanterns spaced intermittently along the piers. He and Silmaria were both bundled up thickly, their old shambles of
 worn and ragged clothes discarded in favor of new garbs well suited to the harsh North climate. He had a new heavy cloak, thick and insulated with soft wolf fur. The black cloak he\rquote 
d stolen from the assassin, just a few short nights ago but already feeling like a lifetime gone by, was snugged away in one of several packs he had slung across his broad shoulders, along with a sturdy ash longbow, a quiver full of arrows, and a
 steel greatsword he\rquote d taken from Galin\rquote s personal armory. Between the supplies Galin had given him and those they\rquote d bought on their own, they were well provisioned for the days ahead. 
\par \tab The Knight glanced back at Silmaria. Even bundled thickly in winter wear, a heavy cloak, and weighed down with a few packs of her own, the girl looked small as she huddled in on herself. She stood close behind him to let his lar
ger form block most of the bitterly cold wind as it whipped the snow about. She\rquote 
d abandoned her dresses in favor of the practicality of thick, loose cotton breeches and a warm long sleeved tunic, both in shades of simple browns and dark greens, with a smal
l hole cut in the back to let her tail through to move freely instead of keeping it uncomfortably trapped. Despite the masculine cut of her clothing, the mere shape of the Gnari girl\rquote s body left no mistake of her gender. 
She glanced up at him, and nodded, but remained silent.
\par \tab They stepped slowly away from The Siren of The Lake and walked slowly along the largely empty docks. The fishermen and traders and sailors would be mulling around the docks early, even in the worsening weather, but dawn was still hours away yet. T
he only people about were the beggars and paupers who preferred the waterfront district to the crowded press of the more tightly clustered poor quarters, and the drunkards who had been tossed out of the bars and taverns along the docks to slee
p off their stupor in the cold. Of the few guards who should have been patrolling the piers and waterfront buildings in a resigned, lackluster fashion, there was no sign.
\par \tab Rael was on edge, and no mistake; Galin told him the guard would be taken care of and their departure would go smoothly, but Galin said a lot of things, and no less than half of it tended to be bluster and false bravado. He trusted the old w
arrior, but he couldn\rquote t help but feel anxious and on guard. He did his best not to let it show, for Silmaria\rquote 
s sake; the last thing he needed was to make her any more edgy and tense than she already was. But his hand rested on the curved short sword strapped to his hip. He would have preferred his greatsword, but it was bundled with the rest of their pa
cks and wrapped up tight. The Nobleman didn\rquote t want to be any more inconspicuous than necessary, and there wouldn\rquote t be much way to subtly wear the greatsword with its distinctive hilt sticking up from his back. 
\par \tab The harbor was clogged with boats; nearly all the lake\rquote s fishing vessels were docked and secured for the night. They cast eerie shadows along the piers as they bobbed gently along Lake Glasswater\rquote 
s smooth, calm surface. Even in the middle of the night, the distinctive smells of the docks surrounded them, comprised mostly of fresh water, falling snow, and many, many fish.
\par \tab Despite Rael\rquote s misgivings, the pair reached their destination without happenstance. The }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 Cutter}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289  was a weathered
 old single mast boat, built for mobility and speed. She was a practical sort of boat with no flash or pretense, but the lines were clean and the sail was of good, thick canvas. When they reached her, the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 
\i\f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 Cutter }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 had clearly been prepped, and her Captain was impatiently tapping his boot on the gangplank.
\par \tab Captain Emil Jemmings was Captain of no one but his fine little vessel, being that she was a one-man craft and he had nothing resembling a crew or underling of any kind. He was the Northern, freshwater version of a salty old seadog, which made 
him a lakedog, he often joked. He swaggered with an exaggerated sway in his stride, as if he\rquote d been on the rocking and turbulently rolling deck of a proper seafaring vessel instead of the relaxed bobbing of his faithful fishing boat on Glasswater
\rquote s tranquil waters. He had the swarthiest, darkest tan of anyone working the port, remnants of days gone by sailing the Jade Sea during his younger years, back when he\rquote d been a true sailor and not a mockery of one like t
he rest of the poor sods at the docks, or so Captain Jemmings insisted.

e a brown chin-beard that he oiled to a point, and a certain ruddiness to his cheeks. He also, impressively, only had one gap in his smile, and that won in a memorable brawl in a less memorable whore house in Stillwater Bay. He\rquote 
d lost the first knuckles worth of his middle finger on his right hand, and the pinky finger on the same hand was gone entirely. The middle finger was the victim of an unfortunate sailing accident that was brought on by a younger, stupider Emil Jemmings
\rquote  carelessness and an alarmingly large jug of spiced rum. The pinky was taken as punishment for being caught at smuggling in his home port of Cordain\rquote s Rock. Not quite satisfied with his pinky, the port authorities exiled him on top of it.

\par Which was, of course, why Rael and Silmaria were involved with Captain Jemmings in the first place; though he plied his trade on a smaller scale, he was a smuggler still. Galin had vouched for the man\rquote 
s trustworthiness and insisted Jemmings was capable. With the security at the gates increasing by the day, slipping out via the lake had been the least risky option available. Galin paid the smuggler well and put enough coin into enough guard\rquote s
 pockets to convince the men not to pay too much attention tonight. How the surly old Knight had managed this without even leaving his home, Rael didn\rquote t know, but Galin was nothing if not resourceful, and he\rquote 
d done enough dabbling in the wrong places to make the right friends.
\par Captain Jemmings stood a bit straighter when they approached. He looked over Rael first, then Silmaria, his eyes lingering much longer on the Gnari girl in a way that immediately grated on Rael\rquote 
s nerves. The smuggler spat, fished a smoking pipe out of his pocket and clenched it in his teeth. He struck a match, the flame a blossom of brilliance before he put the small fire to his pipe. 
\par When he regarded them again, he flashed a haughty grin and said, \'93Either someone forgot how to count, or I drank more tonight than I realized. Coulda sworn I agreed to one package, not two.\'94
\par \'93Plans changed,\'94 Rael explained simply. He tossed the man a pouch jangling with coin.
\par Jemmings caught the purse, weighed it in his hand, and grinned again. \'93Seems a touch light to me.\'94
\par \'93It\rquote s the same fee you were already paid. Double the fee for double the cargo,\'94 Rael reasoned.
\par \'93Ah, that\rquote s true. But see, you\rquote ve not taken into the extra fees and charges for inconvenience, increased risk, space and storage\'85not to mention how terribly unlucky it is to let a woman on your ship\'85\'94
\par Rael set his jaw hard and fished out a few extra silver, and tossed them to Jemmings, who caught it with a nod.
\par \'93Ass,\'94 Silmaria said clearly, with no attempt to keep her words from the smugglers ears.
\par Captain Jemmings stared at her for a moment, then let out a bark of laughter.
\par \'93I think we\rquote ll get on just fine,\'94 Jemmings said. He blew
 a few puffing smoke rings into the dark, snowy sky overhead, then stepped aside from the gangplank, dipping into an exaggerated bow as he motioned toward his ship with his glowing pipe. \'93Welcome aboard the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 
\i\f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 Cutter}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 .\'94 
\par Once they were settled into the stern of the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 GlassCutter}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 
, Captain Jemmings paid them little mind, setting about his business of getting underway. Even after they cast off and slid silently out onto the lake, Rael didn\rquote t relax. He split his attention between watching t
he smuggler suspiciously and casting his gaze back toward Trelling\rquote s Rest to watch for any sign of pursuit. Only once the lights of the city began to recede into the horizon did he relax his grip on the sword at his hip, yet
 even then, he remained vigilant. 
\par Night crept on, slow and ponderous and deliberate. The }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\f0\fs24\insrsid10635289 Cutter}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid10635289  sliced through the lake waters, quiet and steady and stro
ng. The mist rose off the lake to mingle with the falling snow to form a hazy sort of shroud around them. Jemmings lit a single lamp on the bow of the ship, its soft glow the only light to guide them aside from the dim filtered silver of the cre
scent moon overhead. Before long, the sailor was whistling a jaunty little tune. His lackadaisical attitude had Rael close to lashing out.
\par He likely would have, had his attention not been drawn to Silmaria. The Gnari girl had been strangely quiet since they boarded the boat, and skittish, constantly fidgeting with restlessness. She looked
 all about, eyes darting as she gripped the narrow bench she was perched on. Rael noticed her breathing coming in slow, shallow little pants and caught the reflection of the moonlight in her slitted green eyes, which were wider and darker than usual.

\par \'93Are you seasick?\'94 the Nobleman asked her quietly. Silmaria started at his sudden words, then looked up at him, blinking.
\par \'93Seasick? Um. No,\'94 she replied, then gave a shaky, bashful smile. \'93I\rquote m fucking terrified, actually.\'94
\par \'93Terrified? Of him?\'94 Rael asked with confusion, glancing at Captain Jemmings, who seemed to have decided to treat his \lquote cargo\rquote  as legitimate cargo, and completely block them out. 
\par \'93No. He\rquote s greedy, but I\rquote m not scared of him,\'94 Silmaria replied. \'93I\rquote m scared of the lake. I hate water.\'94
\par Rael took on a look of confusion. \'93You didn\rquote t seem to mind it at all when you were in the tub the other day,\'94 he protested.
\par Silmaria looked at him incredulously. For a very intelligent and capable man, he Noble could be awful dense at times. Was he really going to make her spell it out? 
\par \'93I mean large bodies of water. I can\rquote t swim,\'94 she admitted, struggling not to let her embarrassment show.
\par \'93I see,\'94 Rael said with a cringe, feeling foolish. \'93I probably should have asked about that before we went through all this.\'94
\par \'93We were in a hurry,\'94 Silmaria shrugged, \'93And this was the best way. I\rquote ll get through it.\'94
\par \'93Can I help?\'94 He asked.
\par \'93Aside from making sure I don\rquote t go pitching off the side? Sure. Keep me talking. It\rquote s easier than sitting here thinking about how big and deep this lake is.\'94
\par Rael smiled lightly and leaned forward a bit. He pulled his dagger from his belt and began to trim his nails. \'93You should see the sea. GlassWater is a sizable lake, it\rquote s true, but the sea makes it seem nothing. We\rquote 
ll reach the other side of GlassWater by midday more than like. You can sail on the sea for days and weeks at a time and never find the other side.\'94
\par Silmaria listened and drew her knees up to her chest. Breeches were still a bit strange to her; she\rquote d worn pants before, sure, but so rarely that it was still unfamiliar to go without skirts draped around her legs. \'93You\rquote 
ve been to the sea, then?\'94
\par \'93Briefly,\'94 Rael nodded. \'93When I was a lad, still a squire, really. The Knights took me on trips to other Kingdoms and Lands outside the Dale. Said I needed to know that there was a world outside the North or I\rquote d never und
erstand anyone who came to, or threatened, our lands. We went on a short sea voyage. I spent most of it seasick and miserable.\'94
\par \'93Really? Why aren\rquote t you seasick now?\'94 Silmaria asked, mustering half a smile.
\par Rael grinned softly. \'93GlassWater has some of the smoothest sailing you\rquote ll ever find. It\rquote s nowhere near the pitching and rocking you experience at sea. And you get used to it, after a while. Still, I\rquote m sure I\rquote 
d be green in the face if we were on the sea now.\'94
\par \'93Landling,\'94 Captain Jemmings said to no-one-in-particular.
\par \'93I think if we had to go onto the open sea, I would die,\'94 Silmaria said, ignoring the smuggler. 
\par \'93You\rquote d make it. It would be hard, I\rquote m sure, but you would,\'94 Rael nodded firmly, smiling at her. \'93You\rquote re tough.\'94
\par \'93So\rquote s a rock. And a rock sinks quick,\'94 Silmaria said stubbornly. Rael laughed. So did Jemmings.
\par \'93Tell me about your mother,\'94 Silmaria said.
\par Rael looked at her strangely, caught off guard. Not unkindly, he said, \'93Why do you ask?\'94
\par \'93Because Master Edwin wouldn\rquote t speak of her. And we\rquote re going to be traveling together for a long time, so I figured I may as well know more about you,\'94
 Silmaria reasoned. She rocked slightly on her bench, and her ears flicked forward curiously.
\par Rael leaned back, bracing his hands just behind him on his seat as he stared up at the stars and the still steadily dropping snowflakes. \'93She died when I was a baby. Barely even crawling. 
\par \'93All I remember of her are moments. Pictures in my mind, little snips of frozen clarity. She was\'85vivid. Alive. I remember her best, in my father\rquote s chair in a sunbeam in the sitting room. Her hair was the richest red I\rquote 
ve ever seen, like the world saw the color of it and said, \lquote yes, this then, is red, and no mistake\rquote . The sun made it glow around her. She saw me and smiled warm 
and wide and that was the first smile I knew, of all smiles. It was a hard smile for everyone who came after to follow,\'94 he said wistfully, lost in memory. \'93
She was slender, and tall, like a graceful willow, all supple strength. The gown she wore for my father was simple but fine all at once. But anything would have looked fine on her. She looked like a proper lady, regal and proud, but her eyes spoke of
 a wild thing that no finery could tame. And I remember her smell. She smelled like fire.\'94
\par Silmaria studied the Nobleman\rquote s face as he spoke, watching the distant, fuzzy-yet-distinct memory play out across his face highlighted in the moonlight. She shivered, felt a
 tug in her heart at the emotions she saw there. He was distant from it all, of course. He\rquote d spent near his entire life without the woman, knew practically nothing of her
. Yet she saw the longing there, as well, that all too brief little shift in his gaze that told her in some small, tucked away spot inside, he wanted to know, he wanted it to be so ve
ry different. She knew it, felt it in her own tucked away corner of longing for the never-was.
\par \'93She sounds like an amazing woman,\'94 she said at last, because she didn\rquote t know what else to say, and because it was true.
\par Rael\rquote s smile was a barely-there turning at the corners of his lips, at once poignant and sincere. Silmaria\rquote s breath hitched briefly, that smile unexpectedly affecting her in a way she couldn\rquote t quite identify. For a moment, she wasn
\rquote t afraid at all, too thoroughly distracted by him.
\par \'93What about your parents?\'94 he asked.
\par She didn\rquote t want to answer him. She wasn\rquote t sure what would come through her voice, or what play of emotion or memory would cross her face, and she didn\rquote t want to let him see. But she\rquote d drudged the memories up in him, and he didn
\rquote t flinch from them. She couldn\rquote t help but do the same.
\par \'93My father died when I was younger than you. I don\rquote t remember him, at all,\'94 Silmaria said with a soft sigh as she rested her chin on her knees and curled her tail around her feet. \'93My Mother said he was a hunte
r and a warrior and a follower of Gnari Shamanic traditions, back when they were young and still lived with their people. When they came to live with the Humans, father traded the animals he killed and sold pelts and leathers, and made trinkets and de
corations made from claw and horn and bone.
\par \'93After my father died, Mother worked for a while as a dancer and performer, then did serving work in taverns and inns before Master Edwin found us and took us in. I hardly remember the years we were traveling and wandering. By the time I was
 old enough to really hold on to memories, we were living at the Manor and my Mother was working as a kitchen maid.\'94
\par \'93What was she like?\'94 Rael asked quietly.
\par \'93Scared,\'94 Silmaria said thoughtfully. \'93She was sure that something would go wrong, and we would be on our own again, no home and no roof and no food. She was frightened of the other servants. People don\rquote 
t always tolerate us under the best of times. That she was husbandless with a little brat like me hiding in her skirts, well. Everyone thought the worst of her, and me by extension.
\par \'93But for all her fear she was\'85 determined. She seemed to make it her personal vow to make our life at House IronWing work. She always told me we had to work very hard to repay Master Edwin for his
 kindness. She was graceful, and she was patient. She said Humans hated us because we frightened them. Because we were different. It wasn\rquote t their fault, and we should try to be patient with them, and kind.\'94
\par \'93She must have had a good heart,\'94 Rael offered.
\par \'93Yes. Well. Her good, tolerant heart got her stabbed by one of her scared Humans.\'94
\par Rael stared at her in the darkness. She could see the surprise and sympathy wrote on his handsome face. She was glad his eyes weren\rquote t as sensitive as hers; she didn\rquote t want him to be able to read her as plainly as she did him right now. 

\par \'93I\rquote m sorry,\'94 he said at last, because it was all he could really say.
\par Silmaria shrugged. \'93Master Edwin had the man executed. My mother had her justice, at least. Master Edwin swore he would keep me safe after that. It\rquote s probably the biggest reason I\rquote m still alive now.\'94
\par \'93You must hate us,\'94 Rael mused.
\par She reached up and pushed her hair back, then pulled her cloak close around her body. \'93I used to. I guess I still do, here and there, or at least sometimes I try. I don\rquote 
t trust a lot of humans. Experience has made me cautious of them until. Really, experience has made me cautious of everyone, not just Humans. But caution and hatred are different things. I don\rquote t think I have it in me to hate that much.\'94
\par Rael smiled that same small, wistful smile. \'93I\rquote m glad that, if you took nothing else from your mother in your brief time together, you learned how to have her good heart.\'94
\par Silmaria swallowed on whatever feelings it set off inside. She reminded herself o
f the deep, choking, smothering water under them, of how very cold it would be as it pressed down on her from above, heavier than all the world, and she let some fear creep back inside. Good. Fear was easier than the rest of her disjointed, muck of emotio
ns. Simpler, cleaner, and less dangerous.

unfurled, the canvas straining against the blowing wind. There was occasionally the small little splash off to the side of the ship where a large fish broke the lake surface, in and out, in and out. The smuggler puffed at his pip
e and his cargo quietly chewed on old memories whose flavor had faded with age, and gave them no fullness or satisfaction.
\par \tab When dawn broke over the horizon, the snow had relented, but it was just as cold. Rael and Silmaria sat, huddled deep in their heavy cloaks and thick, warm clothes, and took some of the travel rations they\rquote 
d brought with them, and broke their fast. They passed strips of salted elk and beef, thick, tough carrots, and handfuls of toasted nuts that Silmaria actually found very pleasant. They watched as the sky over the distant SkySpear Mountains to the 
west blossomed with light and pigments. The heavy clouds still overcasting the sky were aglow with lush purple like a deep, colorful bruise, then brightened, bleeding into a stunning orange, then pink. Red emerged, vi
brant and deep and powerful, filtering into the rest of the colors, until the whole sky was a great blend of otherworldly shades, dancing together in blots and smears of color in the clouds.

\par \'93Beautiful,\'94 Silmaria murmured softly, her breakfast forgotten for a time as her eyes followed the heavens.
\par \'93The gods are painting with a mighty fine brush this morning,\'94 Captain Jemmings agreed.
\par Jemmings joined them for the meal, then, and surprised them both with a large loaf of good bread, and a fresh block of cheese, both of which he broke into chunks and shared. They gave him some of their beef and nuts, and the
 strange trio ate in almost amiable silence.
\par \'93So, you\rquote re the poor sod they\rquote ve got the city locked down for, eh?\'94 Jemmings said when they\rquote d finished, and wiped the crumbles of bread from his beard.
\par Both of them froze. Silmaria looked, wide eyed, from Rael, then to Jemmings, and back to the Nobleman again. Rael said nothing, just stared into the smuggler\rquote s eyes, hard, with his hand once again at the hilt of his short sword.
\par Jemmings met Rael\rquote s icy gaze for a moment, then gave a snort and waved his hand dismissively. \'93Leave off that. What, you think I\rquote m going to betray you? Bit late for that. If I were going to turn you over to the guard, it would\rquote 
ve been before we shoved off, not after. And I\rquote m not going to be taking you down myself. I\rquote m no fighter, and even if I were, I hear tell you\rquote re not one to be taken down by less than about half an army. No. You\rquote 
re secrets safe with me, no fear.\'94
\par Silmaria let out the breath she\rquote d been about to choke on, and relaxed. 
\par Rael didn\rquote t. His glare was unwavering.
\par Jemmings didn\rquote t seem particularly phased. He tugged at his beard slowly and leaned forward, watching Rael intently with his sly, critical eyes. \'93Them things they say you did, to your folks and all that. You did it?\'94
\par \'93No.\'94
\par Jemmings studied the Nobleman, searching his flinty silver stare for something, a lie, a tell, a sign of remorse or hint of satisfaction, something.
\par At last, apparently satisfied by what he did or did not find, Jemmings nodded and smirked mirthlessly. \'93Fine enough. I\rquote ve smuggled blackhearts as much as good folk. But I like good folk better.\'94
\par \'93Just get us to the other side of the lake,\'94 Rael said through gritted teeth.

butted up to shore on the western bank of Lake Glasswater it was mid noon. The clouds had, if anything, clustered even more densely, choking the sky and blocking the sun from all view. Snow had begun to fall once more, but
 more lazily now, a light little flecking that wouldn\rquote t do much to add to the thick, airy powder already packed thickly onto the ground and dusting the tall pines and ferns dotting the shoreline.

\par \'93You\rquote re a crafty man, Lord IronWing. Well then, I do believe our business is concluded. I wish you safe, quiet, hidden travels. May our little sham be accepted and bring you reprieve from whoever hunts you.\'94
\par \'93Thank you, Captain Jemmings,\'94 Rael nodded. \'93But it\rquote s more than a reprieve I want from them, and it\rquote s more than a reprieve I shall have.\'94
\par \'93Mm. Well, gods speed, in any case,\'94 Jemmings nodded, then turned his mirthful smile onto Silmaria. 
\par \'93Well, little miss, I thank you kindly for not capsizing my boat, as women onboard are wont to do. Mayhap one day you can learn to swim a bit. You might even enjoy it! I\rquote ve heard cats like fish very well.\'94
\par Silmaria poked the man in the chest with one clawed finger, hard enough to nearly draw blood. \'93You\rquote re an ass. Worse, you\rquote re an ass that smells l
ike fish, and not in a way that even a cat would enjoy. But thank you for getting us safely just the same. If the boat had gone under and I drowned, I\rquote d haunt you to your dying.\'94

\par Thank you to all my supportive readers for patiently waiting for this chapter. Work and training and family matters got away from me a bit these past few weeks and slowed my progress a bit. I hope to finish the next chapter much sooner, but if it 
does take me awhile, know that it is still most certainly coming.
