Transcript
A caption reads: “The Greywater. The edge of everything she knew.” Mara and the armored figure stand at the shore facing the jetty and the water. They walk onto the jetty. Mara: “No ferryman.” Armored figure: “There never is. You have to be expected.” The armored figure pulls the bell rope, and the bell rings: “DONNG... DONNG...” Mara: “And if they don’t want me there?” Mara: “Then they will have to go through me.”
Image description
Mara and an armored figure stand at the end of a wooden jetty beside a moored boat at dusk; the bell rings, and Mara grips a sword as she speaks.
About this chapter
