inevitable. It was better to let him leave on his own terms, with a shred of
dignity intact.

Xan’s movement was swift and decisive. With a single, practiced motion, he
plunged the dagger into his abdomen, falling to his knees at the western gate. His life ebbed away, leaving a chilling silence in his wake.
Falcon turned, his eyes fixed on the tragic scene. He knelt, offering three
