deserts. Is it so strange that I should know of this well?"
"Strange that you didn't mention it before. You were afraid, weren't

"If you had led me straight to the well, I might not have wondered. But
you had to stop and remember, how the halls were built and where the
doorways were that led to the inner court. You lived in this place when
it was whole. And no one, not even Kynon himself, knows of it but you."
"You dream, wild man. The moon is in your eyes."
