Chapter 18: The Exile Lifted
The meadow went still again.
The Beta stood with his arms crossed at the rope.
He looked as if he had been waiting ten years to say it.
"The law is the law," he said. "An exile returns an outlaw, and an outlaw holds nothing."
"Then the Moot will lift it," said the white-braided elder.
"Tonight?"
"Now. Today. Here." She stamped her stick into the frost. "You wanted the law, Quist. You'll have all of it."
"A vote lifts an exile, and the vote is done in person."
"Each wolf walks from one side of this meadow to the other."
"Those who say the exile stands, stay where they are. Those who say he is lifted come across and stand by the man."
She raised her voice, and the cold carried it to the back of the crowd.
"Silvercrest, you watched him go once. Stand now where you stood then."
Nobody moved.
Torquil had pulled a borrowed coat over the bleeding side.
He stood alone at the foot of the Stone, with his hand in mine.
He did not look at anyone.
