The fatigue, the lack of rest, the unrelieved haste of their journey showed in both Lords: Hyrim’s eyes, formerly so gay, had a grey angle of pain; and Shetra’s lean face was lined and sharpened, as if some erosion had cut away the last softness of her features. But they endured. As time passed; they found deeper springs of strength to sustain them.

 

Korik should have been reassured. But he was not. The Lords had proven themselves equal to wolves and Grimmerdhore. But he had reason to know that what lay ahead would be worse.
