Summary
It was the loss of their respective homes to tyranny that had brought them together. Sil'dih was not Ala Mhigo, nor was Ul'dah Garlemald. Those two tragedies were scarcely comparable, yet she believed to have found a kindred spirit in Ilberd Feare, and he in her, the Warrior of Light. She was no revolutionary with a noble cause, just a bitter woman who longed for revenge against the Sultanate, but they were the same in that they sought justice for the travesties committed against their people.
Ilberd 's touch, when Iaera had at long last permitted herself to recall it, was a brand, white hot, searing itself into her very being, threatening to consume her and Ilberd both. It was love and hate and betrayal, desperation as well as frustration with each other and their chosen courses. He still cared for her, loathe as he was to admit it, nor would he do so ever again.
Gaius', in comparison, was as water, a gentle flow that washed over hurts both old and new with a tenderness and reverence that she once believed the former Legatus to be incapable of.
As far as she was concerned, Ilberd had been right to hate her.

Summary
Garlemald has fallen. The empire is no more. Yet a figure stalks the railroads and lurks in the recesses of Garlean refuges, hunting and butchering Garlean soldiers. Worse still, this hunter is rumored to be the Warrior of Light herself.
Jullus would put these claims to rest and find the truth. In a cold morning before the sun has risen, while pondering A Question of Death, he encounters this hunter... And sits, to talk.

Summary
It was a stupid thought, really. Haurchefant had this habit (bad habit. Terrible fucking habit.) of putting ideas in his head. He talked about ‘after the war’ like that was a scheduled event rather than a vague idealistic dream, and it made Mhana start to want things.
After the war things.
So he made the stupid ring and stuck it in his pocket to rot, and now here it was, molded in the shape of a silver snake, curled in Haurchefant’s palm, staring back at him with that stupid ruby eye he’d given it to match his own. Stupid.

Summary
Sometimes it takes almost losing something precious in order to realize how precious it really was.
He looked down at the sleeping Hearer and felt an urge to brush the dark hair back from his face, which he stubbornly ignored. Giving in to that urge would mean admitting that at some point he had started to look forward to the times when his duties brought him to Gridania, and the nighttime trysts that often accompanied them—and that the emotion he felt when Zhai’a went out of his way to avoid being seen with him when he had business with the Seedseer Council was hurt.

Summary
The eve of a momentous departure. A wine-soaked confession. Will unfiltered words hold up under the light of day?
Or, "the Warrior of Light is a lightweight who's bad at feelings."
Since returning to the Source, there had been a palpable tension between him and the Warrior of Light. They had been lovers once, in another lifetime before duty and destiny pulled them in opposite directions, and his attempts to rekindle what they’d shared had been met with responses ranging from polite deflections to outright avoiding him. He had tried to be patient, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were running out of time.
