The cliffs
that rose to either side of the River Lif were sheer walls of immense beauty.
They had the appearance of having been sculpted and smoothed over the
centuries. Veins of marble colored the walls, creating patterns that the mind
struggled to understand.
The cliffs were highlighted in rays of light under a still and
quiet sun. A startling blue sky watched over thick puffs of white clouds that
billowed about lazily. The morning air was cool, and the subtle texture of
history weighed upon the gentle breeze.
“We’re getting close,” the archduchess said, approaching Aeden.
Aeden looked up, surprised she had ventured out into the sunlight.
Alina had spent the entire prior day and night in the shelter of
her cabin. Perhaps she had simply come for some fresh air. He didn’t care the
reason. She was out, and he was happy.
“Close to what, my lady?” Aeden asked.
She pointed ahead to the gentle curve in the river. The cliff walls
on either side grew narrower and even taller still.
“Godsend’s Pass,” she said reverently.
Aeden nodded his head, as if he knew what she was talking about.
Verold was huge. In the last couple of years, he had seen more of it than he
had ever imagined, yet he knew that he had only scratched the surface. There
still lay vast continents unexplored, unclaimed islands beckoning the
adventurous, and places that lay uncharted and unseen by human eyes.
He had read about The Great Mysteries of Winter’s Bind, The
Forbidden Forests of Varna, the wild tribes of Dimutia, and only a scattering
on the great empire that once was Templas, yet the more he read, the more
ignorant he felt on the vast span of history that was Verold.
Aeden’s revere on the breadth of his ignorance was interrupted by
movement. He noticed one of the crewmen join the other at the front of the
barge. He then glanced out along the portion of water before them. They were
alone. No other rivercraft was within sight. The waters were moving quicker as
the river narrowed, but never dangerously so.
As they rounded the great bend, the clouds parted and shafts of
light fell upon the rock sculptures of Godsend’s Pass. There, stood immense
carvings of each member of the Scapan, the Old Gods; Anat, Ansuz, Baal, Balder,
Bellas, Enlil, Gauri, Ghut, Huta, Kegal, Kurat, Marduk, and Zhov.
They stood proudly on the southern side of the River Lif. Each
crafted in such detail, one would have thought the sculptor had just finished
yesterday.
Aeden studied each in open-mouthed awe. Here they were. Here were
the gods of his people, The Thirteen. Here was a reminder of his failure to
avenge the fallen villagers of S’Vothe and free them from their semi-mortal
coils.
“They’re amazing aren’t they,” Alina whispered.
Aeden looked over. She was closer now, studying his expression.
She seemed amused by his amazement. He closed his mouth, his face turning
slightly red. He normally masked his emotion the way a fire gecko masked its
scent.
“We had something similar back home, the Sacred Pools we called
them, but,” Aeden paused, taking a moment to study every lovely line that made
up Alina’s face, “they were nothing so large and impressive as this,” he broke
his gaze and gestured to the statues.
“You see that one there,” Alina pointed to the tallest in the
center, “that’s Magis, many believed him to be the most powerful of the old
gods.”
“We called him Ansuz,” Aeden said quietly.
Alina turned to look at him. Her face oddly passive.
“What did you say?”
