Chapter 19: The Stone

"At the ford, at dawn, from the ridge. I was nineteen. I'm still nineteen."

"The night before, he took me aside in the barracks and gave me a bolt with grey fletching."
"He said it was from the king's own stores."
"He gave me a purse."
"He told me when his hand went up, I was to put it in the foreign prince's back."

"And I ran."
He pointed at me, and the finger shook.
