Every so often the creature's jaws would snap open and shut, or one member would make an aborted run at the fence. A pack of three was not of human intelligence, but this one could talk. When it saw Ravna and Johanna, its eyes went wide, the whites showing all around, and it rattled barely intelligible Samnorsk at them. The speech was a nightmare mix of threats and pleas that they "not cut, not cut!" Poor Johanna started crying then. She had spent most of a year hating the pack these were from, yet -- "They seem to be victims, too. It's b-bad to be three,
复件 (76) air max, and no one will ever let them be more." "Well,
复件 (73) air max1," continued Flenser, "I would like custody of what remains, I --" "Never! That one was almost as smart as you, even if crazy enough to defeat. You're not going to build him back." Flenser came together, all eyes staring at the Queen. His "voice" was soft: "Please, Woodcarver. This is a small matter, but I will throw over everything," he jabbed at the maps, "rather than be denied in it." "[Oh, oh.]" The crossbow packs were suddenly at the ready. Woodcarver came partly around the maps, close enough to Flenser that their mind noise must collide. She brought all her heads together in a concerted glare. "If it is so unimportant, why risk everything for it?" Flenser bumped around for an instant, his members actually staring at one another. It was a gesture Ravna had not seen till now. "That is my affair! I mean ... Steel was my greatest creation. In a way,
复件 (89) air max, I am proud of him. But ... I am also responsible for him. Don't you feel the same about Vendacious?" "I've got my plans for Vendacious,
复件 (3) air max1," the response was grudging. "[In fact, Vendacious is still whole; I fear the Queen made too many promises to do much with him now.]" "I want to make up to Steel the harm I made him. You understand." "I understand. I've seen Steel and I understand your methods: the knives, the fear, the pain. You're not going to get another chance at it!" It sounded to Ravna like faint music, something from far beyond the valley, an alien blending of chords. But it was Flenser answering back. Pilgrim's translating voice held no hint of sarcasm: "No knives, no cutting. I keep my name because it is for others to rename me when they finally accept that ... in her way,
MBT saba sandals, Tyrathect won. Give me this chance, Woodcarver. I am begging." The two packs stared at each other for more than ten seconds. Ravna looked from one to the other, trying to divine their expressions. No one said anything. There was not even Pilgrim's voice in her ear to speculate on whether this was a lie or the baring of a new soul. It was Woodcarver who decided: "Very well. You may have him." Peregrine Wickwrackscar was flying. A pilgrim with legends that went back almost a thousand years -- and not one of them could come near to this! He would have burst into song except that it would pain his passengers. They were already unhappy enough with his rough piloting, even though they thought it was simply his inexperience. Peregrine stepped across clouds, flew among and through them, danced with an occasional thunderstorm. How many hours of his life had he stared up at the clouds,
复件 (16) air max1, gauging their depths -- and now he was in them, exploring the caves within caves within caves, the cathedrals of light. Between scattered clouds, the Great Western Ocean stretched forever. By the sun and the flier's instruments, he knew that they had nearly reached the equator, and were already some eight thousand kilometers southwest of Woodcarver's Domain.
