Chapter 19: The Hero Turns
"Don't let go," said both voices at once.
"I've got a door."
"Leave it. He is alone."
"He's the Sword Saint," said Hinata. "He's never alone."
She held on with her left hand and dragged the bolt back with her right.
The iron door swung inward.
Daichi stumbled in out of the grey, with no sword and no tabard, in a plain shirt with his hair on end.
He stopped.
A tall naked man knelt in the middle of the tile, with a leather belt around his throat.
His black hair hung to his shoulder blades.
He had the face of the portrait in the Hall of Heroes.
Fur was running up his arms, and the long bones of his shoulders were moving under his skin.
"Sword Saint," said the man, in two voices at once, one low and one rough. "You are letting in the cold."
Then the minute ended.
A black panther stood where the man had been, shaking himself, with the belt hanging loose around his huge neck.
Daichi sat down hard on the wet tile.
He did not say anything for a while.
Sumi padded over, looked down at him with interest, and sat on his right foot.
"Ow," said Daichi, weakly. "Ow. Okay. I deserve that."
"That's for the soup," said Hinata.
"I know." Daichi covered his face with both hands. "That's the Emperor. That's the man in the picture. He's been the cat the whole time."
"He's been both."
"I saw the bite on your neck, and I thought, no, it can't be, and then I followed the cart tracks, and I stood outside this door for an hour." His voice was muffled. "I didn't tell anyone."
