ecealdor said he would return himself , beorn said , creeping skepticism in his eye and voice . but coren is the prince , the next to take up judgment ! surely he speaks for the king ! where can i see him ? he said he would seek out domen . then he was to return to uh-oh . hatan realized what he had done , and cast a glance toward the direction of the orchards . what if coren returned to not find him waiting ? hatan had not long to worry , for at that moment a low murmur from just outside the high walls of the community rose into clamor . beorn and hatan glanced at each other , and hatan broke into a wide grin ; they hurried around the bend of the stone structure to behold a large gathering of townsfolk . there in the midst stood coren , speaking from atop a knoll . his voice rang rich and resonant , but without pretension , and spoke no judgment against hatans broken promise as he caught his gaze . i saw you beneath the trees , hatan ! come and join me here on the cool grass ! come , draw your father near ! coren ! said hatan happily , pulling beorn by the arm . this claims to be son of the king ? beorn squinted at hatan . he dresses as a peasant ! do no servants and guards wait upon him ? hatan knew nothing to say , and so simply directed beorns attention back to coren . though he had walked the island only a few short hours , already corens listeners pressed in on him to hear . the ones closest sat upon the ground ; the furthermost strained on their toes to catch a glimpse and attend to his voice . turning about and lifting his arms , a graceful arabesque as he spoke , he appealed to the people with hands and feet , as with his words . i think i hear the voice now . did it float through my window as i slept in delirium that day , mixed with my moaning ? or does mgen-el now whisper into my ear ? oh , blessed ink ! you pour your life onto paper in gracious words , never to spill out again ! you are spent on more than you could buy . again i say to you , people of feallengod , you separate yourselves from the glories of ecealdor . all ggnian weeps for you , and the greater kingdom longs for the day of reunion . ecealdor sends his watchmen to you , not for discipline but to regather each one who straggles outside these walls . every wayfarer remains dear to him , and every beast of burden fallen into a pit cries out worthy of saving . ecealdor bears witness of his love for you , oh feallengod , that he has sent me to you . feallengod , feallengod ! you wither like a vine , twisting upon yourself and choking out your own blossoms . how prospers a vine no longer green ? of what use the wood as it dies ? the twisted timber fails , unworthy for building or beauty it becomes suitable only for kindling , to burn in an inferno . corens eyes found beorn , and he pulled a great handful of seed from his sack . high above his head he held the grain , letting it trickle from between his fingers to find a home in the beaten soil . if the gardener labors over his trees , digging around the roots , fertilizing the ground , will it then bear bitter fruit ? can a pear tree decide to produce thistles ? if the gardener sees deadwood among the branches , will he let death creep into the roots , or cut it off ? therefore the blight is pruned away . when the tree prospers again , it bears an abundance of fruit . but he casts the deadwood into the fire ; it burns brightly for a moment , then dies again . the cutting claims some green wood , but saves the roots ; the tree suffers for a season , but then soon returns to fertility . return , feallengod , i call for you to return . beorn stared at coren as he listened , then dropped his head as though his neck had been broken . his pipes stem stuck high into the air as he scratched under the back of his collar . looking to hatan , he complained , he makes no sense . if hes a prince , why cares he for farming that just makes me doubt him more . why make such a journey to talk about trees ? why take on a mission to orchards ? if he really carries the kings bloodline , he doesnt look , or sound , like what i was expecting . as coren pled on before the crowd , beorn felt a slight tug at his belt . as he turned toward its pull , a small figure nervously snatched its hands away from his purse . beorn yelled and struck out with the back of his hand at the man , obliging him to scurry a safe distance away .

there he stood for a moment , shifting his weight , one foot to the other , holding his shaking hands together at his chest . his head made short , jerking movements as he looked about , as if to duck out of the sight of the people . i watched as he awkwardly searched about for someone or something . chanting indistinctly , the strange creature stumbled back toward the crowd and kicked apart a wooden frame on his way ; a young man of the crowd leaning upon it was sent headlong into a muddy pool . the shriveled figure disappeared into the milling mass of people . beorn turned his back to the crowd , and to the words bathing its ears , returning to his hovel and wife . in the days that followed coren walked from one end of feallengod to the other and back . thus did the prince cast his seed , but only debate took root and grew : had coren come from ggnian , or made he bold as merely grand pretender ? only i knew the truth : not one thing relied upon the matter . my own allegiance lay to my self interest . if the company in my presence carried a particularly rough look and argued the cause of domen , then i grew into the greatest partisan in the room . if the discussion favored coren , so did i though this seldom occurred . if a brawl ensued , all the better . gladly would i release my frustrations on the heads of other men , knuckles proudly sore and bleeding . no other pursuit made my thick heart move . this at least too satisfied the pleading of gastgedal , happy in any sort of hedonism . as i would make my exit , swinging and spitting , i would pledge anew loyalty to myself alone . i heard no persuasion to follow anyone else , or so i thought ; very soon i would learn otherwise . once arisen restored from my rented bed , i had resumed my sickened existence within the alleys . my life no longer under their threat , i cared little for the streets cruel hazard , the elements mean tinkering , proudly again striking upon my own ingenuity and provision . let these other fools watch for signs of change , and prick their ears at every word ; i made myself deaf , and blind , dead to the defense of right and wrong . often i crossed paths with the itinerate prince ; often i cast eyes upon hatan , surprised as well at the sight of his father . surprised , i say , knowing what i did about beorn , but then , there i stood among the listeners as well , perhaps leaning against a wall , perhaps munching the remnants of a pastry found cooling upon a windowsill . no telling what other kind of villains also fell into attendance . for the moment , i could contentedly lick my fingers and smirk knowingly at my fellows . hatan , lost forever to foolish idealism , spent more and more time away from home , away from the orchards , and near to coren . what will you do to stop domen ? he has seduced my brother and my father , and most all of feallengod . all power on the island rests upon him now , and his followers refuse to hear you . domen indeed makes himself strong , and he has taken advantage of his place upon feallengod for now . but a time comes when domen will fall like a bird stricken in the sky . suddenly upon him , violently , his doom approaches . he knows it looms , but his face now turns only toward his own desires , and he will not believe . much remains for us before that time , young friend , for you and i . in those same days odd occurrences began to plague feallengod . items disappeared from their places , fires sprang up in homes and barns , attackers fell upon unsuspecting people in the dark . whole households , each man and woman , mysteriously became ill , and noises and fears in the night so troubled others that they declined into madness from lack of sleep . families entered into their homes to find the furnishings moved about . some claimed to see shadowy figures skittering away from the corners of their eyes , slinking into the darkness ; others swore imaginations were just running wild , fed by rumor . after some weeks of such happenings , suspicions grew into conflict within the community well did they choose me as one of the accused . my habits had not gone unnoticed , and before i knew to run , tolerance ran dry . one man yelled , startling me as i helped myself to his well . keeping myself alive , old man , i retorted . stay away from my well ! my entire family is down with fever ! are you the one tainting my water ? offered gastgedal . you are that scrawny villain , arent you ? you have nearly killed my family , and my livestock ! ive done nothing to you , i said , draining off the ladle . stand back , or we may leave you more water than we take , gastgedal added , offering his pizzle . the man failed to understand our good-naturedness . get off or ill kill you !

dont make promises you have no intention of keeping , i said , half-threatening and half-sorrowful . gastgedal circled around toward the mans back . i will kill you , i swear , by stone , ill kill you , he seethed , and before gastgedal could move , he grabbed up a shovel and caught him across the head with it . gastgedal spent the next several minutes smelling the dirt of his homeland . i lurched at the man , eager now to vent my memory on empty rampaging . but before i could lay my talons upon him , the man introduced his shovel upon me and turned my day into night . when i awoke i lay draped across a garbage dump , gastgedals grin flashing gaping holes at me . yes , many a beating did gastgedal bait me into , and many did i enter eagerly . earnestly did the people disabuse me of my bloody-knuckle way of settling of issues and making impressions . the pressure mounted so greatly that i abandoned the streets and drifted closer to domens men , seeking protection where power was found . alas convenience led me more so into the alliance , but though i might believe myself still master of my fate , in reality domen had paid his earnest money , and would soon demand his goods . so the months passed , strife and bitter envy entering into the hearts of feallengod . the trees traded their green for bright shades of gold and russet , and then finally nakedness . coren faithfully pressed his campaign , and where he sowed from his sack grains and fruits arose for the hungry to glean , but his summons to reconciliation increasingly found stone ears . only a handful of followers remained faithful to their magister their master . serenity do i desire for you , people of feallengod . not for my sake do i seek quiet for the island , for i will return to ggnian and my father . for your sakes do i wish still hearts , for when i depart , your spirits will flutter with hatred , turmoil arising from one you can no longer provoke . if you so hate me , then also you hate my father . what you wish upon me , you will visit upon those who follow . and so for them , i desire serenity , though i can promise only injustice and suffering . into that affliction i must go before them . beorn didnt know what to make of this talk . who hates him ? he asked hatan . i dont understand him , and i confess i dont follow him , but who among us hates him ? all of feallengod , it seems , he returned . i give my love not to this dirt , just the dust of my ashes . coren has said we march either with him or against him , father ; no place lies in-between . for those of us who listen to him , magister is the only man worthy to follow . i know , i see that in you , hatan , beorn put two fingers and a thumb together and thumped upon his breastbone sternly . i also have made my choice , and i must remain faithful . i took a vow , which i can not break . while your magister speaks a multitude of words , domen has restored me in the eyes of men . but i see i have lost your loyalty . you have left our home , just like begietan , and your mother grieves for your absence . you have separated yourself from us . not like begietan , said hatan curtly . look , domen approaches ! beorns tone turned to relief , happy to change the subject . now maybe plain talk will deliver the peace coren prattles on about . from the east indeed appeared domen , circling the crowd that milled about coren , begietan swaggering behind . domen had remained absent from the community for a time ; now he silently stalked the periphery of the people , shoulders hunched low , as coren continued his appeal . a handful of men straggled in his wake , i among them , like vagrants following a slops cart . he would rob the orchards of their power , i heard domen mutter . this seed he casts he would grant even the life from the tree hidden within the island soil . many of you agree not that i descend from the king , said coren . just as you refused to believe bregdan , nor any of my fathers watchmen , even to fulwiht , you deny that i emerge from ggnian . i tell you , i will fulfill the testimonies of bregdan , i will mediate for my people , and i will exchange these dusty garments for the robes of the king . secretly your hearts seek a sign from me you will receive a sign : the sign of the seamrog . a small disturbance arose at the edge of the crowd . stop that fellow ! a man cried out , and he swung his elbow at a small , ragged person who only barely ducked away from the blow . fela ! corens voice boomed over the crowds undercurrent .

fela stopped short , his heels kicking up bits of rock , then nervously approaching coren . his eyes begged mercy from every puzzled face as he wound through the tight maze of bodies , holding his hands to his chest , finally blurting out , the prince ! the true prince ! fela , first you burden ggnian with treachery , then this tortured island . you have vexed this land long enough . i know you be fela began . enough , broke in coren . not the dungeons . please , worthy prince . not yet the dungeons . fela kept his head low , his crazed , confused expression visible only as he glanced side to side . i saw the terror in his eyes , for the sake of merely hearing this man . i said , begone , coren repeated with firm emphasis . fela scurried away into the far woods , and never did i see him again , nor either was accused of any further deviltry . domen studied this scene for a moment , and a small notion took root in the manure of his brain . a burr in his hide had suddenly offered opportunity . you and fela work in alliance ! he screamed over the top of the crowd , standing as tall as he could , his finger accusing coren over the peoples heads . his gamboling spine , now jerked straight , shot an arrow of pain through his back . you conspire with that little knave ! domen , i thought perhaps some strong man had tied you up . i have expected you . domen ignored the remark and continued his diatribe before the crowd . this faker joins in league with fela , that putrid gremlin who vexes you these many days . how many of your households has he attacked ? did not these two appear upon feallengod at the same time ? with your own eyes you see fela obey his master . believe your eyes ! they must conspire together ! he shook the crookedness of his finger angrily at coren . clever , domen . would you fool even these i have winnowed ? i warn you , allies who turn upon each other choose the doom of their destruction . stunned by this unconcerned response , i nudged and made some offensive joke to the man next to me , my old acquaintance cirice , quarry dust likely still caked under his nails after these many years . i kicked at a patch of seed coren had sown , sending some from the soil and into barren rocks . domen did not pause in his rant . if you want to rid your sufferings , dispose of coren as well as fela . you know to trust me , you see me move about you . i have dwelt upon feallengod for the best of any mans memory . i offer you leadership and possessions and riches for your lives . i offer you power and flesh to slake your lusts ! coren arrives out of the blue heofon , and what does he grant you ? drop everything you desire and obey his demands ! he promises only suffering he said so himself , and it begins with fela ! he delivered fela upon you ! would ecealdor so send to his beloved people ? feallengod has known only trouble and striving since corens coming ! i say begone with him ! restless murmuring arose above the shuffling of feet . my little group gave greatest voice though i could not lure cirice into speaking prodding the passions of those nearby . some looked to coren for his answer , and some cast their eyes to the ground . others shifted toward domen . what did you come out to see ? corens voice sounded like a trumpet . a man in soft clothes and glinting jewels ? perhaps a man laden with heavy armor and perilous weapons ? do you wish power , or strength ? many will find my words sweet to the senses , but to most they taste sour indeed , and you choke upon your swallowing . those of you who will believe i come from ecealdor will know ; those who will not believe , will know as well . at that , many broke from the crowd and went their way . beorn again shook his head , faced filled with disdain , running his fingers through his hair . again he looked to hatan , what answer is that ? what defense before the nation ? domen demands coren be cast into the sea , and he responds with riddles . is he insane , or simply a liar ? certainly you see , father ? hatan followed , pleading as his father walked away , casting his hands behind in disgust . in the background the fading voice of domen bleated repeatedly his charges against coren . i remained as long as coren spoke , turning aside his appeal to reason with shrewd ridicule my cutting remarks frayed yet further the rope as the stone dangled over my head , and i strained to heave it aside . beorn answered hatan , this i understand : for years i waited upon ecealdor . all my life i believed his law and his promises , and i believed he would return .

i believed that feallengod would provide everything ever we could want and i would live out my days in peace and security . i dreamed that one day i might see ggnian . a fools pretense ! this life i did not imagine , i do not want , but i have to believe only what i can see . this man you love claims the kings authority , but he does no more than talk and talk . he plants seeds like a common laborer , for stones sake ! if hes from ecealdor , why fear to take charge ? why will he not take his kingdom ? beorns voice rose , and the end of his walking staff punished the earth with each phrase . you have waited , father . ecealdor graciously awaits in his patience as well . how better to show his love than to send his son to walk among us ? he has work he will do , father , im sure he will . my patience is done , hatan . im finished waiting . i learned all about the promises , from my father and grandfather before him , longer than you i have known them . the king is great in his glory and might , not puny and weak . in my judgment coren is no more than a fraud , and he should be rebuked for saying hes from the king , because in truth he is not . i believe him , father . you will see , he speaks for ecealdor . if he is the son of the king , still he is not what i expected , said beorn . by stone , he is not what i want ! chapter xiii the fire crackled with desire for the dusk ; its flickering light fought a dancing battle against the shadows on the faces gathered about . in low voices a few intoned ancient words of ggnian : lift high your shoulders , take the red seal , establish the mighty kings strength . the distant shadow of deep despairs hope knows not height , neither breadth , neither length . bend hard under blows , lift high evry head , one day ggnians door ere lifes losing . thorns pierce the flesh on the roads compelled walk , but for one , and that of his choosing . though beauty abounds upon feallengod , it compares not to ggnian , coren said with a smile , leaning toward hatan and the small following with him . all the stories youve heard from long ago bear witness to truth . the waters rush and leap as though alive themselves ; the sky reaches higher than your imagination ; even the dirt fills with wonder , like a rich cake mud frosting . even that sounds good to my hunger . always will i long to return . imagine my homeland as feallengod buffed to a high polish . and to enter into the presence of the king lifts the valiant heart beyond anything the eyes can see or mind perceive . magister , your exhaustion must weigh upon you , said hatan to his leader . youve walked all the day , and have only sprouting grass to lay upon . we dont even have scraps enough for a decent supper . wont you come to my home , to eat tonight with my family ? will your brother sup as well ? asked coren . i do not keep track of my brother . his anger swallows him up he has rejected the king , and the king knows . do not become like him . does your father reside at home tonight ? likely , magister , though i know not for certain . then lets be off , son of feohtan , the table awaits set already , said coren , dusting off his trousers as he arose . the weather had turned brighter as winter waned , but still a sharp chill hung in the air . the green of the annuals yet still hid away , and the smell of dust and smoke mingled with the pungent hubris of early springs boasting all across creation . you will know our house , said hatan happily as they walked , by the scarlet frame about our door . beorn and cwen sat together before the feohtan hearth , and hatans heart fell to see begietan as well had chosen to spend a rare evening with his family . apologetic eyes found reassurance in corens smile ; he set his sack outside the door . beorn received both graciously , but begietans sardonic smile revealed what he wished to cloak . knowing hatans attachment to coren , domen had set begietan about to watch for opportunity . of course , i make you welcome , for the sake of my son , if nothing else , said beorn . truly a father honors his son , and the son honors the father , coren replied , draping his arm upon hatans shoulders . cwen set the meal to table as hatan assisted . soon all sat before modest portions of venison , steaming vegetables and bread piping hot . coren tore from the loaf , passing it on as he reached to dip in the dish of spiced oil . across the table , begietan did likewise , knuckles rudely raking corens hand . he said with mock regret .

crossroads invite perilous turning , said coren , withdrawing his hand . begietan sneered , pushing his bread deep into the oil , and the opposing forces tipped the dish . the spilled oil dripped off the edge of the table , dropping spots of newness upon haggard leather of corens shoes . look , now youve wasted it , groused begietan . beorn struggled to say something . his voice surprised him by asking , what does your father want ? the king wants a people to believe his promises , not results ; a people obedient even unto their own loss , coren replied . but who could make himself do such a thing ? i can not set a table like those you know in ggnian , cwen interrupted , looking hesitantly , tinged with shame , toward beorn , who fell silent . my husband makes it difficult for me to serve . i pray this fare arises to your liking , sir . sitting under a roof , milady , offers its own blessing , and a fire , and friendly faces , said coren . your food may appear humble , yet still it fuels fellowship more even so than the body . surely we will all hunger again soon ; but the memory of our communion here will remain forever . bread feeds the belly , the family and community yet see how it crumbles in the hand ? still , a great blessing of abundance emerges from the soil of feallengod , a gift to you from ecealdor . yes , from ecealdor , said beorn quietly , and he thought again of his grandfather , and his father , and sat wondering . his fingers idly studied the tines of his fork , whether they be straight or bent . everything on this table belongs to us , begietan broke in brusquely . we raised it in our orchards , by our own sweat . you people like to talk about ecealdor , but he had no part in it . his eyes rested with a smirk upon hatan , who felt his ears burning . begietan beorn began , but cut himself off weakly . he turned his head to look toward the window . your blessing issues from ecealdor , a blessing not to be despised , coren answered . one among you has turned it into a curse , for you can neither eat all of the orchards abundance , nor will you give even a portion to those who perish without . you shut the orchards off to the rest of your community and to yourself also ; you groan under the burden of wealth . the king bequeaths authority over the orchards to you , but while you jealously guard the fruits , the authority has fallen to thieves . you insult my father ! begietan grandly rose to his feet . so suddenly did he stand , his chair clattered to the floor beneath him . you lay a curse upon us , a curse upon feallengod . i say curse you ! begietan beorn repeated , looking back toward him , and as well repeating his cowed silence . begietan , i bring him as a guest ! protested hatan . you speak against the prince ! this is my house too ! i know my prince upon feallengod . you people should know by now , too , growled begietan . did not liesan suffer unjustly ? sputtered begietan . for this reason i come , not for a curse . said cwen , nervous and flustered . did you not want supper ? the house belongs not to you , nor you , coren continued , giving no attention to the confusion . your possessions upon feallengod pass through a tissue reality . when you sink into death , will a spade or shirt follow you ? neither can you claim the orchards possession . they come to you a blessing from ecealdor , and they abide . but you turn them into a curse , for you set aside precious fruits and spices for yourselves , but ignore the more important duties of the steward : justice and mercy for your brothers and sisters . with these things should you concern yourselves , not the altar of selfish interests . did you buy your life at your birth ? it slips away even as you grasp after it . living under the power of ecealdor is like a full cup , but you have poured it out . like bread , it fuels life , life given freely to all , life lived one to another , he said , contemplating the morsel he had torn from the loaf . thats all i will stand ! weve had enough of your palaver , begietan stepped heavily toward coren . hatan tried to intercede , then sent sprawling to the floor by a vicious fist . begietan grabbed coren by the neck to throw him from his chair . the table jarred violently , cups spilling and lit candles dangerously splattering wax and fire upon the cloth . a cut opened upon corens lip , a trickle of blood encroaching his chin .

beorn remained , sullen , in his chair . cwen went to hatans aid as he lay bleary upon the ground , and she cried out in her anguish at the conflict of her home . begietan upended furniture , and shelves emptied their contents to the floor as he dragged coren from the house and down the steps . the blood flowed in earnest as begietan kicked him into the street . coren did not struggle , but neither did he keep silent . you have turned the gift into a curse , for you covet it to yourselves . the land is but a shadow ! you strive to withhold life from those who would live . i say to you , drink of the cup ! the draught of fullness flows upon the waters of heofon . you desire more than food and drink to fill your bellies , yet you realize not ! you may hoard the fruits of ecealdors blessing , but you can not hide away his draught of fullness . down the streets and alleys begietan profaned coren , jerking him roughly off his feet , dragging him upon the paving stones , batting at his head with his free hand . along the way he called men out from their homes . i loitered at one of the communitys irregular corners , gastgedal with me , he gripping a flagon cast aside too soon by a careless carouser , happily drinking in the fumes . i believe my nose could almost remember my days spent in whirling confusion , by that bottles odor . it sickened me , but like the other unthinking onlookers , as though invited to feast , i girded my strength and fell in behind the foul procession . the argument again seemed to turn in domens favor . now i can see the miscarriage of vain wisdom : the more idly fascinated , the more indifferent spectators , the more dispassionately prudent men added to the crowd , all the more powerful domen appeared to all others . at the time these events seemed only a show , not much more than melodrama acted upon a stage , the people an innocuous addition . i know it now , oh how i believe within my soul , that behind the faade crept a reality vivid in its obscurity , so densely real that i tremble now to think of it , though then it remained ephemeral , like the zephyr itself . more and more and more we oblivious people blithely surrendered our lives over to the one who most wanted to steal them away . i thought of domen as like me , but not as my leader ; i thought of him as compatriot i didnt see my enemy . he lusted after power ; though not sharing that ambition , i could accept it at face ; i didnt know the means to his end would be by ruining me . vengeance is a slithering menace . this crowd of sordid curiosity fell in behind begietan as the commotion grew , inciting vile acts , a number helping him manhandle coren . many pelted the prince with rotting garbage and curses ; stones and staffs appeared out of the dust and spittle to land heavy blows upon him . hatan followed , struggling to reach coren but unable to muscle through the violence of the mob . you turn your damnations upon yourselves , for even as you killed all my fathers watchmen , you now complete the measure of your rebellion . feallengod ! lower not your eyes , but seek a higher thing ! seek out mercy , to show mercy , to turn away from self ! soon you will long for the soft brooding of the hen , but will find only the eagles talons . coren continued his pleas for the peoples hearts as often as he could catch his breath . shoving and kicking , the growing crowd forced coren outside the community gate . bruised and marred , his clothing torn and smeared with blood and filth , and still the staffs reached out their jabbing ; his face so battered and wrung in anguish as to offend the eyes , coren was cast out and carried along by a wave of hatred unleashed . against the horizon , standing alone , awaited domen , vile silhouette , observing the action with arms crossed . corens eyes lit upon him , then somehow hatan ; there he walked just behind me , and coren peered through my body , made of me a ghost , to call to him : he will cast you to the wind like grain if he can , as they dragged him away . i turned and saw in hatans face the horrified knowledge that this atrocity had begun with his simple offer of hospitality ; what a perverted thrill rushed with my pulse . angrily i clutched his coat and demanded , throw your lot with him ? i would have spit in his eye , but , suddenly gripped with fear as well as my ragged fingers , hatan stopped in his tracks and said nothing , not even blinking at me , his self-appointed inquisitor . smatter , boy ? ! railed gastgedal . not so quick to judge sitting on the docket yourself !

youve been with him ! hotly i glared , bluffing for an answer for a delicious moment , luxuriating in the tumult of hatans thoughts . knowing i could do nothing with him , i pushed him off , dismissing him with a sarcastic smart boy , and left him sulking in the wash of the multitude . the crowd paused once it approached the feet of domen , as i yelled slanders , and coren dropped to the ground . begietan struck a pose , a gladiator in conquest before his caesar . you could have called legions of men to feallengod , domen glared at coren . then how many would perish ? but as i depart , so too will all peace abandon feallengod , and only strife and slaughter remain , he replied , a mouthful of blood trailing designs in the dust . perhaps this foolishness will open your eyes to wisdom one day , domen . domen leaned in close to whisper . i know what you seek here . do not think your father will reclaim this people , not after they destroy his beloved . one man can not redeem when i have destroyed all men . i take not your life , but rather you choose to cast it away . well you speak , domen , but little do you believe . domen arose and turned toward the west , raised his fist and screamed , do you hear ? this blood lies not upon my head ! he took a step from coren as if to leave , and drew away begietan by the arm . one thing remains for you , and he handed begietan a long parcel wrapped in rough , brown cloth . though begietans right hand was that of strength , domen placed the bundle in his left . get close to him , close enough for a kiss , for in so doing you will stab not only him in the heart but your brother as well . yes , you will do my bidding ; you will do this thing , for you are just as i am . the madding crowd had picked coren up again , and domen led us to a low hill , the very little mount upon which beorn and hatan first heard him speak . there we stood him up , reeling from the beatings , and shook our voices like angry squirrels , railing at him . people of feallengod ! please , quiet ! calm calm , my people , called out domen , with gestures only limply trying to control the frenzy . you have grown angry , and rightly so , but , please , let us reason , and be wise . hands outstretched , he drew closer to coren , his presence and words applying the effect of a heavy storm hanging over us . we fell into uneasy silence , and i tried to look like i would pay no particular attention . domens chin jutted , his mouth twisting into a revolting frown . you see before you a criminal , a sick , deluded man who brings nothing but trouble upon you . he and his toadies provoke your thoughts against yourselves , prick your hearts with false conviction , goad you into guilt you can not bear . good people , my good , good people , you know you do not deserve his persecution . what shall we do with this man ? do we not have a law here upon feallengod ? did not ecealdor himself establish this law forever : wait upon yourself , and bless yourself richly . what has this man done that has shown blessing ? badger us until we weep ? make our hearts heavy over what our nature simply desires ? how then can we love ourselves ? no , he has broken the law . he has dipped us in fear to draw us away from the law of ecealdor ! his words stirred the crowd like coals of fire again , and all the people pressed in on coren . i swept along with the furor , willingly compelled to join the turmoil ; i placed a few fists in guts that presented themselves . voices arose demanding a defense from coren . you call yourself seed of the king ! you threaten to take power in feallengod ! we have a word for you to hear ! we will rule ourselves ! this tirade suited me well ; let each man follow his own way , it mattered not . you do not realize what you say . my fathers decrees will arrive upon feallengod , even as they abide in ggnian , coren panted . your father discards you to the ashes , domen said to him . back to the crowd , domen picked up his refrain , yes , he claims to bring message from ggnian . he claims to represent ecealdor , but does he follow the kings law ? indeed , he openly mocks it ! that , my friends , cuts my heart most , as he takes the name of the dear king in vain . if ecealdor had sent him , would you see this battered condition upon him ? no , surely the king would save him ; he would wrap his son in might .

we say you deserve to die for your crimes ! he screamed into corens face . begietan worked his way through the crowd , to the front , his eyes shooting side to side . he must die for his crimes ! domens ghoulish chant gradually caught up the crowd , he must die ! my empty soul lifted my empty voice to join . begietan sidled up to the prince , whose exhausted body drooped but somehow stayed erect . i elbowed through the crowd , better to see . with what seemed tremendous effort , coren cast his gaze upon domen beside him steel eyes . domen , i will fight you to the death . to my mind all else halted as he slowly lifted his right arm , a single finger extended . how many seconds passed , or days , i know not ; my eyes saw only the princes touch . he reached across his body and lightly placed his finger upon domens forehead . suddenly the crowd sprang again to life , and begietan lunged forward , leapt to the defense of his master , to cup the back of corens neck . his right hand grasping the prince , drawing him close , begietan swept back his left , flicking it violently . the brown cloth flew into the air and fluttered to the ground behind him , a flash of light glaring from a short sword . corens arms swung out , stretched to each side , palms toward the sky , sleeves flaring like the wings of a dove taking flight . begietan pressed his cheek close as he plunged the sword into corens right side , impaled beneath his ribs . coren gasped and took two stumbling steps away , the red blade pulling quickly out of his flesh . blood kicked from his wound and splattered upon me ; i stood staring and woozy . someone jostled my attention and i smiled sickly , as though my stomach was hanging out of my mouth , to show myself unmoved . my eye caught gastgedal , and struck by his pale surprise . coren hung upon his feet for a moment , a face filled with wonder and concern , then tipped backwards onto the young grass . his head hit the ground hard , but without word or cry , eyes empty . a cloud of frosty breath escaped like phantasm as his mouth gaped , and he moved no more . that moment horrific to my core i dread the sight ever coming my way again . fleeting like a rampaging bull , its terror escaped me not even then ; i think not a single breath drew in that moment . like the flash of foreboding that grips a man at an unexpected noise in the dark , or the delirious waking from a nightmare , a sense of terrific anguish and outrage ran through my imagination . a single life lost , that was all yet still something greater had shrouded the island . in that second i imagined the stone of the law , and the rope slipping a notch ; slowly that stone turned , and the rope groaned . i returned my stare ; something more than a single man had fallen . perhaps because we had witnessed the end of the royal line , or the precious blood that soaked feallengod soil , but that flash of moment testified to more than just what my eyes had seen . my heart did leap like a startled cat , but just as quickly resumed its stultifying beat : it occurs to me now that mine lay more dead that day than corens . the sun dipped out of sight , and an unusually bleak dusk fell over the land feallengod . lightning flashed from a distant thunderstorm rolling in over the ocean . far away from the crowds back , hatans chest emptied purely hollow in his agony , his heart a leaden weight . behind him stood beorn , finally roused from his chair , following along slowly , at last catching up to the melee . he silently grieved for the young man , grieved for the violence of begietans hand , even grieved for feallengod . tragedy multiplied upon the island , and now returned upon the king . then again , he thought , corens time upon feallengod could have had no other end . perhaps domens ranting now revealed its truth . he turned to walk away , no comfort found nor given . domen eyed the scene , gazed at the body , suddenly not sure what had just come to pass . certainly he had won . but why would coren go into death so readily ? had domen been duped by a dead man ? he tried to shake off an odd sense of doubt . the crowd fell silent for a moment , but slowly a glad undercurrent arose . begietan , standing witlessly with his murder weapon , smeared with corens gore , now raised the bloody pike high overhead , his triumph complete , the most worthy son of feallengod . the mob lifted up a tremendous cheer and surged forward . domen cleared his cobwebs to seize the moment . people of feallengod , you have thrown off tyranny ! no heir is left to the king !

the bloodlines of ecealdor run dry ! celebrate , people of feallengod ! the inheritance falls to you ! feel your island beneath your feet , for the land belongs to you now and no other ! again a gruesome cheer , and i joining in , curse my voice and the breath behind it . but i gladly shook off that instant of terror anything to respirit my safe , smug confines of self-importance . use the crowd , fade into its folds , separate unto inscrutable self-interest . the good people of feallengod dragged corens body to the ash heap a final throwing off of royal authority , just as domen said far from the community , where garbage burned and smoldered , flames constantly flaring and dying in turn . rudely dumped upon the waste , empty eyes open to the acid air , his crumpled remains lay like a heartbroken child , and drops from a coming storm pocked away all traces of human activity . nothing exists more useless than a dead man . quickly most all of the community prepared for grand celebration . precious little toward the festivity came from me , apathy born of nothing more honorable than laziness . once the hedonism commenced , my appetites found the thick of it . as the hours and days ground past , domens men pushed into the peoples homes . under force men and women relinquished their gold and silver , the earrings and bracelets and chains they had hidden away . this too suited me well , for with mgen-els chalice cast aside , and liesans sapphire long ago bartered , i had no precious possession to hide or steal . a heavy pounding landed upon the feohtans door . demanded one of domens lieutenants . cwen wavered , unable to mask the fright in her voice . we know you have it ! the man grabbed the leather string holding the gold medallion , the image of the fawn , and tore it away from cwens neck . the single , violent jerk ripped open her blouse and yanked her to the ground , blood oozing from the strafing wound , and there she sobbed in the doorway of her home . a great heap of such items , large and small , accumulated in the square before the stone law , blank in its worn oversight . the smithy melted down the precious metal , and artisans shaped it to form a mighty lion , complete with crowned head . great were its teeth , long and fully bared , and its claws extended and sharp . eyes filled with anger and purpose stared out ahead of the terrible creature . the polished metal shone as bright as the sun , the sun even as domen cursed it , blinding the crowd to its wonderful glory . a magnificent flowing mane perched upon its neck and shoulders , trailing along its back all the way to the serpentine tail , and muscles fairly rippled within its powerful legs and flanks . never had a more glorious , foreboding work of art been fashioned upon feallengod . this statue enshrines your great victory over tyranny from afar ! domen shrieked . this figure rises a monument to liberty ! receive your symbol of my glorious majesty ! great stores of succulent foods emerged wondrously from the houses of feallengod , at last , at least for this moment generosity inspired no doubt by threat and toadeating . tables upon tables , lined end to end , and still the banquet spilled over onto the cobbles . wine flowed from flagon to cup first , then directly into gullets as jubilants slaked themselves in its power . for days the riotous festivities escalated , through the day , into the night , beyond the rising sun . music played endlessly , raucous and to the end of no melody , and we danced until exhaustion felled us . we gave ourselves to every conceivable debauchery , sacrificing the disciplines our culture had taught for generations . most all of us wallowed in each others embrace , and those who didnt made good use of opportunity , relieving otherwise occupied revelers of their purses . rejoicing slid into angry outbursts and violent quarrels , then back again into carousing . somewhere , at some time within the dark nights , gangs of vandals took sledge hammers to the ancient stone of the law , and reduced it to gravel . never had my stomach strained more full . i had fairly forgotten the feeling , a belly solid like rock . my cravings claimed their rights during those days : i made full use of the grand tables , at them , on them , under them . yet in their midst was i starving to death . the delicate wiles of maidens became a feast of pretty thighs , and the grease of gluttony streamed down my cheeks and chin . only did i refuse my old rival the bottle , even as gastgedal did nothing to restrain kissing its tender sweetness at this most glorious occasion .

with a head clear of shadows , and free of his continual prattling , i made all the better at every other vice i could dream of . over the braying attended domen , an unholy priest , contentedly smiling and frowning as one . eat and drink , my people , for the flesh is your being , and feallengod is your trough . hatan as well observed from afar . a noise like war lifts its head , dancing upon death and beating on the bones of martyrs , and he retreated deep into the orchards . he sat grieving , neither working nor sleeping , thinking nor knowing . his body bowed under the weight of his guilt . beorns words echoed in his ears : just like begietan . just like begietan but no , yet worse . he had loved coren . didnt he stand silent at the bloody moment when coren needed him most ? could he claim to love coren now ? he betrayed the prince out of cowardice alone , and had proven only his love for his own skin . the voice of his thoughts tortured him , leaning upon the strength of his beloved grove of trees , weeping bitterly . i still feel the rough texture of his coat , digging in my wretched fingers , still smell the earthy scent of the fabric as i bullied him into destruction . that was my only goal , as though his doom served me in some way . i peer at these hands ; they seem not to me now capable of such wickedness . these hands , the very tools of my writing , my calling , covered in ink , covered in blood . now , in death , hatan thought , coren at least deserved burial , not exposure to circling birds . fully three days had passed since his murder ; surely by now decay had settled into the body , in spite of the cool weather . hatan determined to collect the corpse and secure a grave . desolate in his sorrow and loneliness , he trudged toward the ash heap careful to give wide distance to the community dreading this duty but determined to see it through . his breath hung mistily in the early morning hours . suddenly he stopped short , frozen in confusion . the ash heap spread before him bare . an impression , a shape in form like a human , sharply defined , reclined in the cinders , but corens body had vanished . in its midst a tiny seed , perhaps falling from the folds of his clothing , had taken root , sprouting from the desolate mound , reaching infant branches to the sky . a sudden wind blasted down from the peaks of the high mountains , off in the distance , roaring with great force across the barren spot of dirt . the gale hit with shocking strength , like the blast of a trumpet , hammering hatan to the ground ; as well all signs left of where corens body had lain blew into history , dust that blows across the wide world , filling cracks and crevasses , invading eyes and teeth but keeping secret its story . then , just as abruptly as the air had stirred its passions , it fell still , and the little tree held fast . chapter xiv thousands upon thousands numbered the feet that had trod feallengod , a vast sea of men and women in ebb and flow across the land , across time , whose grandchildren came and went , leaving them forgotten to memory . the soils of the island had offered their rich hospitality to all the generations of the ages , all sizes , colors and walks of their lifetimes . humankinds variety abounded as culture mixed with culture , ideas grew and transformed into new ideas , and wayfarers brought home peculiar customs from far-flung peoples . one such wayfarer already has crossed my pages , andsc cirice . cirice had spent his days a child and a parent ; tradesman and peasant ; master and slave . he gave his time as a laborer , a steward , a prisoner , a counselor to the elders . he had been a sinner and a saint in his full life on feallengod , but no matter what station he had taken , he always maintained a quiet devotion to king ecealdor . in these last three days more had passed into his eyes than he could bear . a stocky , rugged man , heavier than he should have been , dirtier than he should have been , more scarred than he should have been the man cirice . the hair upon his crown , kept short but ragged , clung grimly to its iron gray , when it clung to his head at all . tattoos decorated his hulking arms , vague markings old and faded but still hinting at faraway lands visited in the distant past , like a map of the circuitous route a life takes . he owned little save the love and loyalty of everyone who bothered to know him . his will stood as strong as his broad chest , and once he had set his sails to the wind , he never turned back . one story told me , when he worked at the granite quarries in the lower mountains , before my own servitude , came about after an accident left a huge crane crippled .

a wooden beam had buckled , letting loose the counterweight and lifting one poor beast of burden into the air . crews of men struggled to pull the simple machinery apart , but one large bolt would not budge from its rusty , twisted shaft . after watching teams of men with oversized tools try vainly to turn the nut , the hanging ass hoarsely crying out , cirice shouldered the workers aside and grasped the bolt in his massive bare hands . with one mighty grunt he managed to loosen it slightly . as he continued to strain , applying only brute strength and stubbornness , the rest of the crew shouted support and laid bets . an hour later , drenched in sweat , slathered with grimy oil , he casually threw the bolt to the feet of the whooping onlookers and kissed his biceps . fortune sent cirices way what it would ; he simply accepted and made the most of it . so moons passed , and he took hardly any notice of the spiraling events upon his island . when coren arrived , however , he knew that the distant king roused against domens corruption . i saw him often in the crowd when coren spoke and saw the piercing glances shot at my hateful prattlings and the truth of the princes words drove deep into his soul . but he had hung on only at the fringes of corens following , and now grieved and bristled at his own absence when murder felled the prince . this conviction at length took hold of his heart , and now he agreed together with it . no longer would he stand on the sidelines of truth . the depraved festivity of corens elimination not only the physical excesses but the dark spirit spawning them turned cirices stomach . certainly , he thought , certainly a handful of men still might stand against this bitter offense to the king . though coren deigned not fight for his life , perhaps a few left upon feallengod would take up his memory , his honor , and his fathers cause . so he took up his quest . good evening , my friend , he said one day , perhaps a fortnight after the revelry , as we crossed paths . he cast a dreadful glance at gastgedal . good evening , cirice ! what mischief brings you about ? anything for my hand ? merely walking the village . merely taking in sights of the streets . best see to yourself . the streets have become dangerous these past several days . as despicable as id become , still a touch of humanity prevailed within me to warn a friend . times already had turned lean again , and i well knew my own dark pursuits in the alleyways . but i knew as well , cirice would fall victim to no one . spicy we like it if youre not afraid to dip into a little trouble , gastgedal grinned at some keen whimsy hed unveiled . so have i known . tonight peace is as much trouble as i wish upon myself , or you . make peace , or take a piece , gastgedal fairly bounced , giddy with wit . we make our own way , and care little for the fears of petty girls . he stuck his gnarled nose within reach of cirices swing . an ill wind blows from your gullet , unless im mistaken about the opening , cirice sneered . ill not waste time nor trouble on you this day . take your provocations elsewhere , i scolded gastgedal , motives muddled between right and self-righteous . we want no argument with this fellow , but what i wanted had been sealed already . oh , pardon , sir , gastgedal replied with deep , sarcastic bow . unable to stir any anger in cirice , seeing that i had no interest either , he withdrew his insults . domen has set the new path for the island , never to slip from his fingers . surely one day you will have the time and inclination , and will not let the opportunity die . perhaps , man , though death seems something of a more royal pursuit here upon feallengod , cirice scowled and turned his attention back to me , studying my expression . yes , i laughed . little matter i take care of myself upon feallengod , as does every man ! best then join , and watch how you step , cirice . i see , good fellow . and then indicating gastgedal : this man is no more than doom to you . with that , down the street he continued his pursuit . i watched his broad shoulders bearing his glad unknown yoke as he ambled near to speak to another countryman shaking my head as i returned to my own designs . i learned later his mission . i knew him , his loyalty to the king , to anyone who showed themselves worthy , but realizing what i considered such utter sentimentality in him struck me with surprise . honor remained easy for him he did not seem to care about the kings disregard for his son . he had not seen the foul belly of ecealdors callous brutality , his cruel indifference , as i had . but , oh , my king , little did i understand .

cirice combed every path of the village , searching out men and women not consigned to the designs of domen . as weeks passed , his tiny remnant increased , though many cowered , afraid to join him openly . on the islands far side , in the swampy coves off the ocean heofon , he organized his brigade . this musty , murky area had frightened me as a child ; feallengod parents often threatened a night upon the moors to discipline unruly sons , and i earned my nightmares . many men brought horses to the camp ; many others offered food and supplies . a community of sharing returned to this fractional people , not out of compulsion but a known unity . all the swords , lances , maces , pitchforks , axes and clubs the people could muster began to accumulate , along with a ragtag collection of armor . during the days the people walked the streets of the village , house to house , but in the evenings , as often as opportunity allowed , they gathered in the moors under the headship of cirice , for his exhortation and training . and there as well did hatan find him . the cloud of corens killing that swept across feallengod drew a shroud fully over the face of hatans heart . he thought of the high mountains and the depths of heofon , and how each might rejoin him to his magister , but he did not think of his home , unable to face his mother and unwilling to look upon his father . at first he told every man and woman he could find about the scene at the ash heap : corens body mysteriously vanished . he mostly met only doubt and derision in return ; some accused him of simply stealing the body . so many feet trampled the area , seeking either proof or excuse , that within days even he could not say for sure where coren once had lain , if not for the tree . the little sprout flourished , spreading its limbs remarkably quickly , a sapling now waving in summer breezes , birds alighting to rest . hatan made the orchards his sanctuary , thinking solitude the only refuge for his treachery . there his days and nights melted into one as depression sank into his being , and he took to peering around the walls and trees like a hunted beast , afraid of who might venture in and find him . eventually desperate loneliness drove him from the walls , seeking whoever still might share his desire for coren and the king . perhaps he would find a measure of mercy with them , or perhaps condemnation to at least give his guilt a place to lay its head . he at last returned to the streets of the village , where he heard whispered rumors of cirice and his collection of mates . sentries appeared from behind trees as hatan delved into the moors . they carried weapons as if on a hunting mission , throwing up neither defense nor attack , but their eyes studied him carefully . good day , friend . what brings you into the marshes ? we have only just decided to depart the hunting has turned against us . i am hatan feohtan , his gaze dropped in shame . the sentries faces brightened as though waking from a dream only to find it true . goodwill to you , friend , and peace ! peace to you ! we have all heard your report , and long have we awaited you ! so many despairing that you had fallen into domens clutches ! come , please come with us , and taking him by his elbows , they fairly dragged him deep into the fog of the moors . as they drew near , the sentries surprised the quiet camp with their rash exuberance , the witness ! we bring the witness ! shouts and outstretched arms greeted hatan , grasping and hugging him like a lost dog reunited , all along the way to a small bonfire . the witness has fallen in with us ! the sentries called out , and cirice vaulted to his feet . him ? ! his eyes wide as his mouth , he enfolded hatan in sturdy arms . we have hoped for you these weeks . your word spreads like wildfire see ? even the bogs smoke . your testimony calls like a trumpet , a song of expectation for all of us . please tell me it rings true . true it is , hatan said . the body lay there , as the imprint within the ashes attested , and then it didnt . dont ask me to say how . no need , said cirice . hope lives the tree testifies to life . did he not go about planting upon the island ? so does he still . we have seen the tree , but we must believe the empty mark his body left . whatever has happened in the ashes , hope lives that ecealdor does not abandon feallengod , though he chooses to remain in ggnian . so many here pine for what you have truly seen . but no matter we will believe anyway . upon your eyes , upon your word we will believe . sit down and warm yourself , and tell me youve come to join us . i want to to cast off these chains of guilt .
