The Encounter
How they met, the pilgrim and the soldier, on the road to Sancre Tor.
He, a merchant son from the Nibenay, in his humblest saffron silk.
Red tattoos on his face showing market allegiance.
He left behind his ledgers and his abacus,
his lover and his fortune,
to ask of holy spirits the hidden meaning of all things.
She, a veteran marked by wake of war, Colovia's red-handed daughter.
Cruel scars across her face showing a legionnaire's map of servitude.
Smitten by strife, smiting,
with a wicked hammer at her side.
Come to the hidden city, to make amends for old and evil deeds.
How they met, and shared bread and brandy,
laughing, commiserating their lot.
Determined to journey together,
along the road to Sancre Tor.
But the road to Sancre Tor is long,
it is a wicked road,
and it must be walked alone.
