The dagger stops the souls of the sacrifices from moving on. It takes both Mortua and I to free the souls. Speaking to you now is all the time we have to spare. We need the help of the Speaker of the Dead.”

    “Says us all,” Dienia said. “Don’t be a fool, Mortua. You know you need his help. Helping the dead is his duty as well.”


    “Very well.” Mortua’s reluctance was clear in her voice. “I do not want his help, but it is needed.”
