"It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, If only I had known, implying they wouldโ€™ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind oneโ€™s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action?ย "

"I walked past Malison, up Lower Main to Main and across the road. I didnโ€™t need to look to know he was behind me. I entered Royal Wood, went a short way along a path and waited. It was cool and dim beneath the trees. When Malison entered the Wood, I continued eastward.ย  I wanted to place his body in hallowed ground. He was born a Mearan. The least I could do was send him to Loric. The distance between us closed until he was on my heels. He chose to come, I told myself, as if that lessened the crime I planned. He chose what I have to offer. We were almost to the cemetery before he asked where we were going. I answered with another question. Do you like living in the High Lordโ€™s kitchens?He, of course, replied, No. Well, weโ€™re going to a better place. When we reached the edge of the Wood, I pushed aside a branch to see the Temple of Loric and Calecโ€™s cottage. No smoke was coming from the chimney, and I assumed the old man was yet abed. His pony was grazing in the field of graves. The sun hid behind a bank of clouds. Malison moved beside me. Itโ€™s a graveyard. Are you afraid of ghosts? I asked. My fatherโ€™s a ghost, he whispered. I asked if he wanted to learn how to throw a knife. He said, Yes, as I knew he would.ย  He untucked his shirt, withdrew the knife he had stolen and gave it to me. It was a thick-bladed, single-edged knife, better suited for dicing celery than slitting a young throat. But it would serve my purpose. That I also knew. Iโ€™d spent all night projecting how the morning would unfold and, except for indulging in the tea, it had happened as I had imagined.ย  Damut kissed her son farewell. Malison followed me of his own free will. Without fear, he placed the instrument of his death into my hand. We were at the appointed place, at the appointed time. The stolen knife was warm from the heat of his body. I had only to use it. Yet I hesitated, and again prayed for Sythene to show me a different path. Arenโ€™t you going to show me? Malison prompted, as if to echo my prayer."

"Growing up, the way that I looked was very important to me. I was always trying to impress people, and when I grew my beard there was a certain freedom, a separation, getting past this the way I looked, identify myself as a spiritual seeker."
