Chapter 17: Seven Nights Left
They drew the Peak on the stone floor in charcoal.
Juehan knelt on one side with his sleeves pushed back.
Zhiyi knelt on the other and waited for the hour of Zi.
"Nine bolts," she said. "Three and three and three."
"I take the first three," said Juehan.
"No."
"I have stood under one already. My body knows how it is done."
"Your body is a burned house."
"Then it is a burned house that has had practice."
He drew a small circle at the top of the Peak and wrote his name in it.
"You stand behind me for the first three."
"In the middle three you stand in front, and I stand where I can catch you if you fall."
"The last three, we stand side by side."
She looked at the circle, and at his hand, which was steady.
"And Xuezhao?"
"On your left."
"And the beasts?"
"They will come whether I permit it or not."
"Good," said Zhiyi. "Then that's the plan."
"That is not a plan. It is a list of places to stand."
