Chapter 13: The Dinner at the Hall
The Midsummer Dinner was laid out on the Hall floor, around the great salt pool.
Long tables ran under the gold lamps, and three hundred mages sat down to eat.
Ilsa walked in at the soup course with Oren beside her and Bryn a step behind.
Talk died table by table as they passed.
Nobody had sent her an invitation, but nobody had thought to close the doors.
The Archmage sat at the head table in his grey robes.
Caldrion sat on his right, in a white coat buttoned to the chin.
Tuva sat beside him with a cane hooked on her chair and a bandage showing under her hem.
Hesper sat at the far end in plain dark wool, and she did not look up.
"Mage Cronstedt," the Archmage said coldly.
"You were not asked."
"The doors were open," said Ilsa.
"I will be quick."
She stepped up to the rim of the pool, where all three hundred could see her.
"For four hundred years, the Sacred Whale has chosen a Cronstedt woman every thirty or forty years."
