Chapter 20: Eve of Thunder
On the twentieth night the whole mountain waited.
Three hundred beasts lay awake on the slope below the Thunder Hall, clear-eyed and silent, and no one had told them to come.
Zhiyi stood on the roof with the bronze furnace in her arms and looked at the moon.
It was almost round.
Behind her the iron ladder rang, and a hand came over the edge of the tiles with a bowl of noodles in it.
"Eat," said Lei Juehan.
She ate sitting on the ridge with her feet over the edge, and he sat beside her.
The noodles were perfect.
"You're bringing the furnace," he said, nodding at it.
"An alchemist brings her furnace."
"To the Peak."
"If a bolt comes down on me, I won't waste it," said Zhiyi.
"Thunder-qi is thunder-qi. I'll try to catch some and make a pill."
"That is not a plan."
"It's a very good guess."
"It is a hope in a bronze bowl."
"It's my hope," she said. "I'd like to keep it."
