Exerpt:
"...Everything around fell silent in an expectant hush, as if the world held its breath for her decision.
Before Karigan could stop herself, she said, 'I'll do it.' She heard the words as if someone else had drawn them from her.
'You s-swear?'
She nodded.
'Sword. Bring it to me.'
The horse shied from Karigan, but she caught his reins and drew the saber from the saddle sheath. Its curved blade flickered in a patch of sun as she held it out before her. She knelt beside the messanger again.
'Wrap your hands around the hilt,' he said. When she did, he placed his hands over hers. It was then she saw his gloves were not dyed crimson, not originally. He coughed, and more blood flecked the corners of his mouth. 'Swear...swear you'll deliver... the message to King Zachary... for love of country.'
Karigan could only stare at him wide-eyed.
'Swear!'..."
