You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy.

We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.

Demandred blocked Lan's attack but he breathed hoarsely. Who are you? Demandred whispered again. No one of this Age has such skill. Asmodean? No, no. He couldn't have fought me like this.
