Chapter 1 - Seeking

“Where is Halbarad?”

I ask Barahir as I pass him on my why to our camp not far away from the shattered Gates. We became separated in the heat of battle earlier and I have not seen him since. But now I am in need of his quiet and supportive presence.

Barahir remains silent and I turn to face him. Barahir's head is bowed and he will not look at me. Quietly he says,

“I will bring you to him.”

My guts clench when I recall Halbarad's words before the Paths of the Dead.

'My death lies beyond this door.'
