Later that day you are weakened by your illness
and Orion stops to see if you are allright. "I feel so weak Orion,
I dont think that I can go any farther". "Allright then", Orion says,
"We shall take you back home and try to get you to feeling better.
On the way home you can hardly stay awake. You hear the horse hoves
clank... clank.... clank.... You are awakened by the horses neigh.
Looking up you see your town of Earthsea again. What a relief!
Next thing you know you slip off your horse and fall into a deep sleep.
When you awake again your surrounded by the familiar faces of the war party.
"In the dream", you say, "In the dream a man in a black robe poisened my
gauntlet that we had at the feast!" Then as your last words come
out you fall into a world of blackness never to awaken again. Later
before they burry you they found a book that the the lady in black had
slipped into your pocket. Inside was the following.
My Love,
I am sorry that I had to poison you. He
would have had my head if I hadn't. Serin Kane Is a terror, a downright
scandel. If it means anything to you I fell in love with you the
moment I saw you!
Love Always,
Elinore
