I
I am Bozhydar, son of Milorad, a member of the retinue of Prince Boleslav. I have been risen to lead a troop of armored companions on a war expedition to Bohemia.
II
Shydlo leads me through the forest to a dark grove with a three-faced pillar in the center, the painted runes peeling and faded. I feel the intimacy of shared secrets as he whispers the stories of the old gods to me. He calls me Niedrog, my childhood name.
III
The bowmen break and run afore my lunging horse, as the wild dash through the river yields its bloody harvest. My shoulder aches where an arrowhead drilled into my scale and my arm twinges with each thrust, but I feel elation that I do not share the demise of those who faltered at the other bank.
IV
Atop my mount, I look down fondly into a clearing, where my troop organize a campsite, according to my orders and under Ratibor’s watchful supervision.
V
Blood seeps out of Ratibor’s stomach as we hasten deep into the forest. In their odd dialect, the villagers spoke of Taraz the Ageless, a mad sorcerer who posseses unearthly alchemical lore. In sudden anger, he pushes my head into a crucible. I do not die, but I am marked and fall sensless.
