Chapter 7: The Hot Springs
Under Ashmoor Keep there was a cave full of steam, and a spring that boiled up out of the black rock and cooled into a long green pool.
Kaldrith took her there on the fifth night.
Ember lamps ran along the cave wall, orange and low, and the water gave back every one of them.
Rina slipped into it up to her neck with a moan.
"Gods, that's good."
"The water comes from the heart of the March," he said. "It warms what hurts."
He sat on the stone shelf beside her with the water at his chest.
His silver hair was loose and wet, curling over his shoulders and down his back, and the steam made a halo of it around the horns.
For a while neither of them spoke.
Then Rina said, "I have to tell you something."
His head turned.
"I'm not the girl who was sent here."
He didn't move.
"I thought as much," he said quietly.
"You did?"
"Wynne hid in the closet for three days. She would not eat. She wept when the steward lit the lamps." His eyes were on the water. "She was a gentle child who was frightened of everything, and I did not know how to help her."
"Wynne," Rina said.
She had never heard the name.
In the game there was only, The Bride.
"That was her name?"
"You did not know it?"
"No."
Something passed over his face that was nearly relief.
Rina took a breath.
"I come from a different world. I died there, at the end of a long night, and I woke up here in her body at the minute she died. I know your story, Kaldrith. In my world it's a game, and I played it for four years."
