Book Preview<\/h3>\n

We seven remained at the crossroads, watching the dust from the eastern way. <\/p>\n

Even irrepressible One-Eye and Goblin were stricken by the finality of the hour. <\/p>\n

Otto\u2019s horse whickered. He closed her nostrils with one hand, patted her neck<\/p>\n

with the other, quieting her. It was a time for contemplation, the final<\/p>\n

emotional milemark of an era. <\/p>\n

Then there was no more dust. They were gone. Birds began to sing, so still did<\/p>\n

we remain. I took an old notebook from my saddlebag, settled in the road. In a<\/p>\n

shaky hand I wrote: The end has come. The parting is done. Silent, Darling, and the Torque brothers have taken the road to Lords. The Black Company is no more. <\/p>\n

Yet I will continue to keep the Annals, if only because a habit of twenty-five<\/p>\n

years is so hard to break. And, who knows? Those to whom I am obliged to carry<\/p>\n

them may find the account interesting. The heart is stilled but the corpse<\/p>\n

stumbles on. The Company is dead in fact but not in name. <\/p>\n

And we, O merciless gods, stand witness to the power of names. <\/p>\n

I replaced the book in my saddlebag. \u201cWell, that\u2019s that.\u201d I swatted the dust off the back of my lap, peered down our own road into tomorrow. A low line of<\/p>\n

greening hills formed a fencerow over which sheeplike tufts began to bound. \u201cThe quest begins. We have time to cover the first dozen miles.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
