Marigold asked the young man called Aeron questions while the rest stood by in the snow. Bellyn stood close next to Nethwador; she could see his face out of the corner of her eye even as she watched the snow fall. Her heart fell just as the flakes fluttered down from the sky, watching the burial that could have easily been hers if fate had been kinder to Gwyllion.

She could only see the pain in Aeron's eyes as he spoke to Marigold. Bellyn ached that she could not help, even though she did not know Aeron or Gwyllion. She hated seeing tears that she knew she could not turn to laughter. Bellyn wished she could say that she knew Aeron's pain. After all, Bellyn still remembered the death of her mother; the heartache still enveloped her family. Yet there remained something in Aeron's eyes that told Bellyn there was a different hurt at work in the snowy field that day.

"I regret that I still do not know our new companions well," Bellyn murmured to Nethwador softly. "Perhaps then it would mean more that we mourn Aeron's sister. Perhaps then it would mean something."
