I fell in the cold and darkness of the Shadows for I know not how long. I had failed, as I knew I would. My only regret was that either Jill or Colleen, perhaps both, would pay the price for my presumption to regency and heroism.
Jill, sweet, Jill. I remembered how much fun we had tormenting each other. And Colleen, fierce Colleen who one day might just be my better in a fight.
Their memories awoke something within me. I reached out to the darkness, to the ledge I knew would be there, and caught it, arresting my fall.
I am coming, Father. I will not go so quietly into that night, I thought as I pulled myself upon the road. But first, I needed healing.
