Dream Finder cohs-1

by Roger Taylor

  'We will take you to a land that borders ours and which we must pass through on our way home,’ Haster had said. ‘It's a land finer even than ours and there's a place there where you will find great knowledge. And a man of great wisdom: a healer. My heart tells me it is important that you meet him.'

  'Are you comfortable?’ Antyr asked his Companions. Tarrian's drowsy voice drifted back to him.

  'Yes,’ he said. ‘This is really quite commodious.’ He yawned noisily. As did Grayle: deep, silent, Grayle. ‘It'll be nice to be home again. To hear the Song. To see … the healer.'

  'Thank you,’ he said softly, and a little hoarsely.

  He closed the door slowly and quietly.

  The snow crunched under his feet as he returned to his guides and his eyes were bright as he looked up at them.

  Then he raised the candle to his face, and gently blew out the light.
