    Summary

    As I waited for sleep, my thought strayed to the methods used by the Nazhmorhathveras to hunt the sheleian that ranged on the steppes. No barbarian would have been foolish enough to try to take on a flock; though a sheleis resembled little more than a large stack of poorly cared-for carpets, the adults of a pack would vigorously defend their young. Thick of hide, dense of fur, tusked, and ferocious—the Nazhmorhathveras stalked the steppes in search of a sheleis that had gotten itself separated from the pack. A lone sheleis would flee, in the face of a hunter’s spear, and the hunter would pursue. Not at the desperate pace set by the sheleis; the beast could leave his sight, and still he would track it, at a steady and persistent pace. It might take hours, even a day or more, but eventually the sheleis would collapse from exhaustion, and the hunter would be ready when it did.

    Summary

    "You mean 'we'll make it,'" Beau said, as an icy feeling crept up her spine. "Right, Deuces? We'll make it out."
    "No," he said, and that same soft, grim smile was back. "I meant you."
    There was a beat of silence where Beau just breathed.
    "What," she said, trying to keep her voice measured even as her thoughts spun out. "Why the fuck do you think I would leave without you?"
    "You have to," he said.
    "Why?"
    "My last question to Melora," Caduceus replied. He looked regretful, almost chagrined.
    "What was it?" Beau said, dread creeping up the base of her skull.

    --------------
    Beau and Caduceus are lost beneath the snows of Eisselcross, separated from the group. And time is running out for one of them.

    Summary

    Don’t apologize,” Felix snaps, and it’s comfortably lacking in heat, “Just- why?”

    Sylvain snorts. “You know why.”

    Felix is quiet for a moment. And then another. Sylvain catches his gaze and finds his brows furrowed again.

    “Felix,” Sylvain says, “You know why.”

    Felix bristles, “Obviously I don’t.”

    --

    Sylvain thinks his friends know far more than they do.
