Chapter 7

14th Day of the Sun, Month of the Dragon

Mother, the paper underneath this is a drawing I did yesterday, of a sculpture I made.
I am not sure it does it justice as I am not a particularly good drawer, but I hope you
get the sense of it. It was a beautiful moment, after an invigorating battle. I slew not one
but two of the mages here in the biggest city of the overside - they call it Galadon - and did so
even though one was one of their lawmen, in his own city. Afterward I collected the arms from the
first corpse, brought them over to the second corpse and using all four arms (I severed the two on
this corpse as well) and the two legs, which I also severed, I made a circle around the trunk, with
each finger (or big toe) pointing in the same direction. I then took the blood (there is a dab of it
in the drawing, to add some of the real color, I think it helps) and using a broken off finger drew
it around the body, creating a border of blood. The rest pooled at the middle, giving it almost a
floating sense. I think it made one coherent piece. I like that the fingers all point around
and demonstrate that death comes from all directions, and blood surrounds us all. They now know
fear, and they will be able to hide from me nowhere.
I hope this finds you well, and beat little Grozhy about the head for me.
