"North is never just north. Not in the mountains. Kadara weaves back and forth up the mountain pass on horseback until the mare slows. When it does, she dismounts and sends it trotting back down the mountain. Better it have energy for the journey home than to die broken and cold somewhere between the snowy peaks."
R.E. Lockett - Silent Orchard Rising Storm - March 2026
