He blinked and blinked again. And again. But no matter how many times he blinked it didn't take away the vision before him. Didn't clear the confusion that had settled as thick and as heavy as the collar around his throat at the sight of his arm extended, the sword he gripped in his left …

Tears burned his cheeks as he whirled around and pressed his back against the stone of the Tower. Feeling Rh... Rhy... his Qishir's magick again for the first time in three hundred years had been something he hadn't prepared for. Feeling the way his qahllyn had crowed its happiness at feeling that connection again, even …

Laughter, low and dark and sickly sweet, acted like a wind that slowed his decent but not enough that he knew the inevitable landing wouldn't kill him.

He felt the rumbling before he heard it, felt the sand and the snow that dotted it slip and slide against his ankles, touching his feet through the openings of his sandals.
