If there is an angel who records the sorrows of men as well as their sins, he knows how many and deep are the sorrows that spring from false ideas for which no man is culpable.

You’re here,” he says, and his voice is like sunshine, like honey, it’s warm and rich and moreish. “I’m so very glad.” Where Silas’s voice is spikes and edges, every word a warning, this man’s voice is smooth, velvety and beckoning.

Scarron is the kind of village people are born in and die in. Rarely does anyone leave. Still more rarely does a new face arrive. So unless the girl is in hiding, like Silas was, I should be able to find her easily; she’d be known as the “new one” for the next fifty years if she stayed here.

This pure will is characterized as being naked, transcendent, capable of self-determination, beyond all antithetical values and all pairs of opposites. In the practice of icchashuddhi, the following eight bonds or fetters must be broken systematically: daya (sympathy), moha (delusion), lajja (shame or the idea of sin), bhaya (fear), ghrina (disgust), kula (family, kinship, clan), varna (caste), and sila (customary rites and precepts).46 As each of these bonds or fetters is broken, the vira becomes progressively more liberated.

“
Al oírlo toser entró su nuera, quien le dijo al señor Hamley que esos accesos eran muy frecuentes, y que en uno de ellos el viejo Silas se quedaría. Lo dijo sin tapujos delante del anciano, que ahora jadeaba exhausto sobre el almohadón. Los pobres aceptaban lo inevitable de la muerte de una manera más franca de lo que era habitual entre la gente cultivada. El hidalgo se quedó pasmado ante lo que le pareció una muestra de insensibilidad, pero el anciano había recibido amorosos cuidados de su nuera, y lo que ella acababa de decir le sorprendía tan poco como que el sol saliera al día siguiente.

“
I know that some people think it’s a sin to think an animal has a soul, but I do. I don’t care what anyone says or thinks. Because if anything in this world is close to God, it’s a dog. I believe a great amount of being in touch with God is required to hear the thunder from way off, or to feel the trembling of a train miles away, or to know when someone they care about needs them, and offer comfort no matter what, and not have one tiny bit of judgment in their whole beings. I believe a sort of holiness is required to remind us that everything in this world deserves affection. Dogs know these things. They know and know and know.

There are moments in life, when you’re at rock bottom, and your only choice is to stop digging down and start digging to the side instead. Staring at the back of Dallas’ head, a new thought settled in Silas’s mind. There’s no way in hell I’m going to Bridgeport.

“
prendiendo a Pablo y a Silas, los condujeron al juzgado ante los jefes de la ciudad; 20 y presentándolos a los magistrados, dijeron: Estos hombres alborotan nuestra ciudad, son judíos; 21 y quieren introducir una manera de vida, que no nos es lícito abrazar, ni practicar, siendo como somos romanos. 22 Al mismo tiempo la plebe conmovida acudió de tropel contra ellos; y los magistrados mandaron que, rasgándoles las túnicas, los azotasen con varas. 23 Y después de haberles dado muchos azotes, los metieron en la cárcel, apercibiendo al carcelero para que los asegurase bien. 24 El cual recibida esta orden, los metió en un profundo calabozo, con los pies en el cepo. 25 Mas a eso de media noche, puestos Pablo y Silas en oración, cantaban alabanzas a Dios; y los demás presos los estaban escuchando, 26 cuando de repente se sintió un gran terremoto, tal que se meneaban los cimientos de la cárcel. Y al instante se abrieron de par en par todas las puertas; y se les soltaron a todos las prisiones. 27 En esto despertando el carcelero, y viendo abiertas las puertas de la cárcel, desenvainando una espada iba a matarse, creyendo que se habían escapado los presos. 28 Entonces Pablo le gritó con grande voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún daño, que todos sin faltar uno estamos aquí. 29 El carcelero entonces habiendo pedido luz, entró dentro; y estremecido se arrojó a los pies de Pablo y de Silas. 30 Y sacándolos a fuera, les dijo: Señores, ¿qué debo hacer para salvarme? 31 Ellos le respondieron: Cree en el Señor Jesús, y te salvarás tú y tu familia. 32 Y le enseñaron la doctrina del Señor a él y a todos los de su casa. 33 El carcelero en aquella misma hora de la noche llevándolos consigo, les lavó las llagas; y recibió luego el bautismo así él, como toda su familia. 34 Y conduciéndolos a su habitación, les sirvió la cena, regocijándose con toda su familia de haber creído en Dios. 35

“
Less than a day has passed since I stood in this room and vowed to fight the Sleeping Prince. How sure of myself I was then, with Errin and Silas beside me; how righteous my anger was. It seemed so possible then, so simple. Silas would train the alchemists and their kin to fight and we’d all march on Lormere and defeat the Sleeping Prince. I thought we’d be like an avenging army in a story. I imagined people rallying to our cry, and that the fact we were on the side of good would assure our victory.
And then Aurek came, with my lover at his side, and proved that I am not only still a coward, but still a naïve, stupid fool too. And I’m supposed to save us from the Sleeping Prince.

Silas’s mother walks to us, standing by her son. “We haven’t been formally introduced,” she says, looking down at Dimia and me. “I am Sister Hope, of the Sisters of Næht. We’re joined tonight by Sister Wisdom, Sister Peace, Sister Honour and Sister Courage.” Each ones nods in turn, though there’s nothing in their manner that would be recognized as friendly. Sister Peace even goes so far as curling her lip at us.

grasped her chin, my thumb pulling her bottom lip down, and I leaned in close, my mouth hovering above hers. The gesture made my heart flutter, especially as her wide-eyed gaze found mine. My lips were just an inch away from kissing her. I used my magic, sucking the air—the smoke—from her lungs into mine, clearing it back to normal just as my hand trailed down her neck, resting against her chest. My palm didn't burn, but there was a slight tingle. I let the glow out, healing the minor inflammation in her lungs.
