Dead. Garmund listened, unbelieving, as Eodwine's words worked their slow way into his head. Ritun and Lefun were gone.

He blinked, fighting the tears that had already started to sting his face. Anger at the twins' cruel end turned Garmund's cheeks to fire. The twins deserved better.

"It's not right. Not fair. Lefun and Ritun didn't hurt anyone," Garmund mumbled. He walked ahead and looked down at the twins. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I wish - if we'd been faster." His voice caught on something rising in his throat, and Garmund fell silent.

Garstan came up to the boy and put a hand on his shoulder. "It's not your fault, Garmund. You couldn't have saved them."

But Garmund, seeing only the pale faces of his friends, did not hear.
