Summary
“That has nothing to do with this.”
“Doesn’t it?” Marisol picks up her phylactery and turns it over. “For all that you resent Fulgeno, he is part of you. Part of your past, part of the reason your present is what it is. As the Circle is part of mine.”
She traces the runes with a blunted nail. “Why not eradicate the parts of our past that hurt? That were not ours to control?”
Viago scoffs, almost. There is something halfhearted about it, like he wants to refute what she says, but only gets part of the way there. It doesn’t matter— she’s already picked apart the pieces of any argument he might make.
Years before the Dread Wolf aims to take down the Veil, Teia recruits a thief (an elf, a mage, a spark) from the gutters of Salle—and gets exactly what she bargained for.
(Or: no one has told the Crows of House Cantori that they are not the exception to every rule, and Viago wishes that someone would.)
