Fragments of War (18)

Sunny hesitated for a few moments. 

Western First Rib… was a place that held great significance to the war, at the moment. 

That was, of course, because it was where the lesser of the Two Crossings was located. 

There were two paths to the West Collarbone Plain — the last bastion of the Song Army in Godgrave — from the Breastbone Reach, which was now controlled entirely by the King of Swords. 

The one in the north connected the titanic breastbone directly to the right collarbone of the dead deity, and was called the Greater Stronghold. However, there was a second path further south, via the right first rib. That was where the Lesser Stronghold was located, and where Sunny had spent the last few weeks. 

He studied the King of Swords for a few moments. 

Why would Anvil want to go there through the Hollows? It seemed like a futile endeavor. Unless…

Sunny spoke evenly:

"The optimal path depends on who is meant to walk it."
