Chapter 571: Eyes & Ears

GAHRYE

Gahrye walked through the forest on the southern end, towards the Royal Meadow, his heart lighter than it had been in days.

He'd decided to fill Elia in about Suhle and what he'd discovered there, two days earlier.

He knew now that meeting her with Reth had been an appointment of the Creator. He'd thought so at the time, as soon as he'd scented her truly. But he hadn't wanted to jump to conclusions. But now he was certain.

When he'd walked out of the cave with her, he'd really just been curious and a little wary. But then he'd read the winds around her and his heart leapt. The Creator's voice—or whatever He allowed Gahrye to hear when he was reading the winds had been very clear.

She is One.

Suhle was a Protector. He would have sworn to it.
