Chapter 21: The Assembly
The Assembly of the sects met on the white field before Dawn Hall, where the duel had been, under a sky the colour of dishwater.
Two thousand people had come.
They sat on the stone tiers in the sect colours of every school from the northern passes to the southern rivers.
At the head of the field, on a platform of black wood, sat the Hall Elder, with the green jade seal in his lap.
He wore the Leader's grey over his blue, to see how it looked.
Elder Ma sat at his right hand, and his two hundred stood in rows behind.
Ye-han came in at the south gate with the sun at his back.
He had put on the full red again, the wedding red, with the gold chain at his collar and the black under the sleeves.
He had his spare fan folded in his hand, and kohl on his eyes.
Gyeong-wook walked on his right in plain grey.
His wrists were bare.
Ju-won walked on his left, in a scholar's robe and a scholar's knot, with his arm in a sling and his chin up.
Behind them came Mi-rae with her medicine box, and Chun-sik with a flat bundle of oilcloth under his arm.
Forty disciples of Dawn Hall who had not agreed to the vote came after them.
A murmur went up the tiers.
"The accused will stand before the Assembly," said the Sealing Elder, in a voice that wobbled.
