It was on the last walk that Kothanar gave me my first apricot. It was
delicious, full of juice and sustenance. I felt if I could live on them, in a
way I could never stomach meat, whether cooked or raw. It's from the shrine of
Lady Azorinne, he told me. And then he spoke of Mercy. How we must show
kindness to all and hold our blades and our tongues from cruelty.

He spoke of the snow that always surrounded her and the joy that she brought to
the world. He said he believed I too was born under the sphere of Mercy and
should one day see my way to her. Perhaps it would be my redemption, he said.

I would hope so, and before our journey reached its end, that path was the only
one that remained in front of me, no matter how difficult it may be.
