Chapter 1

Hoyoharannas couldnt believe what he had just heard and judging all the murmurs of astonishment
from the wood-elves gathered around him, he could tell they couldnt either. Never before could he
remember hearing of such a steep pronouncement.

Her crimes are great and the debt must be paid, announced the Nsala, wise woman seer of the wood-
elf village, and you have taken her debt on yourself so that it will be repaid, as is right, as is our way.

Hoyoharannas frowned deeply. He had already sworn the oath to repay her debt, as was the custom
with his people, the Nsa Nsa, a nature loving clan of wood-elves who lived remotely in the forests and
mountains east of Udgaard. The assumption of a debt of another was actually quite rare among the Nsa
Nsa as most of the clan members adhered to its traditions and beliefs. However, when it was
performed, the oath to repay the debt was always done before the oath-taker knew how severe the
debt was. It had to be this way as it was the selfless nature of the act of repaying someone elses debt
that mattered, not the size of the debt.

And now he had to repay her debt and that debt was the highest hed ever known, and that her was his
twin sister.
