Chapter 63: The Ninth Seal, Part 5
It had been bad enough to watch Alrin leave, to be forced to watch him head off toward his death. But to learn that Alrin was not quite dead yet, and Raffé would have to watch him die? If this was how he was meant to spend the rest of his life, in a constant state of fear and anger and despair, always a knot of dread in his stomach for what terrible thing might happen next
His anger went out like a snuffed candle, the last bits of it curling and fading away in the air. He was Legion; that was their lot. If he was to someday lead them he had best become better at enduringhandlingit.
All the same, he was grateful that no one chased after him. Bad enough to lose Cambord, then Alrin must Raffé lose him again? How many times must he watch Alrin vanish from his life and be helpless to stop it.
