ished slowly by occasional shipwrecks and outcasts
seeking refuge on the fabled archipelago of assassins.

Razor’s doctrine and political agenda are one and the
same: The Realm and all other usurpers whose legiti-
macy rests on the false Immaculate Texts must be torn
down so that Luna’s cult may rise. Her assassins, Lunar
and mortal alike, destabilize Realm control by slaying
those in positions of political, cultural, and economic
power within the satrapies, or even on the Blessed Isle.

Razor’s true shape is a tall, muscular woman with
light brown skin. She shaves her head and wears
midnight-black monastic robes; were it not for her
moonsilver tattoos, she might be mistaken for an
Immaculate. Despite her stoic demeanor, she misses
the peaceful simplicity of mortal life. She keeps a small
apiary in the Bastion, a pastime that lets her forget the
worries of a shahan-ya and master assassin. At times,
she sojourns through Creation, isolating herself in
the ruins of temples she once served in or wandering
satrapies in a healer’s guise.

Swift Wayward Whisper

A child of the Kaiyet, nomads who settled the fertile
Peran Valley, Swift Wayward Whisper has been called
away from her homeland by the Silver Pact’s cause.
She doesn’t align herself with any shahan-ya but is a
courier and spy willing to aid any member of the Pact.
In its service, she’s sailed, ridden, walked, flown, and
stowed away across all Creation.

Whisper still returns to her family’s secluded village in
Peran Valley when she has the chance, though it may be
seasons or years before such opportunities arrive. There’s
much love between them, and they’ve come to accept her
new self — both as a demigod and a woman — though
their worlds grow farther apart each day she spends
plumbing the secrets of Wyld-haunted forests or battling
Immaculate monks to save newly Exalted Lunars.

In the end, Cathak Vanida decided to run.

As dawn tinged the sky, the satrap recognized the futility of her situation. Horns sounded across Kulinth,
signaling the retreat. Tula stationed watches on the storehouses and the treasury — most of them were aflame,
or had been the targets of strategic attacks, but whatever was left within was for Kulinth’s people. Let them
march to Shale Strand with only the clothes on their backs and the food they can scavenge along the way. Let
them return home with nothing in their pockets but shame.

In Kulinth’s central square, the fighters were rounding up the prince’s militia. They’d been stripped of their
weapons and forced to sit on the frozen ground. Tula’s orders were clear: watch them, but do them no harm.
Not yet. They’d chosen the prince’s side — and thus the Realm’s — and oppressed their own people. She
suspected they’d be finding deserters for weeks to come, Asmund’s soldiers who’d shed their finely made coats
and blended in with the rebels. What to do with them was a question Tula didn’t have an answer for yet. Where
was the line between forgiveness and foolishness? Who would she give a second chance, and who would she
put to the sword?

Tula and Sazay stood atop the battlement, watching the Realm’s forces flee. At the column’s head, the satrap
rode in one of the few carriages Tula had allowed to leave the city. “We could still kill her,” said Sazay. Flecks of
red dotted her face; she hadn’t bothered wiping away the blood from her last kill. “A quick strike, you and me.
Or I can find Silent Pearl, if you’d rather. It’d send a message.”

“Letting her live sends one, too. She’ll have to answer for everything that went wrong, and I suspect she
understands less than half of it. Let them fear us. Let them know if they come back, we’ll turn them aside
again.”

Sazay grunted. “You’ve been talking to Tegama. He hates fun, too.” But she laughed, regarding Tula with
admiration. “You led your people well.”

“You all helped me. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to repay the debt.”

“Oh, I have thoughts on that, but they’re for another time.” Sazay slipped into her fox skin and trotted away,
leaving Tula to her thoughts.

•••••

The day after the battle was bright and cloudless, with the kind of brittle warmth that triggers a thaw.
Throughout Kulinth, however, the fires had given the melting a head start. Mud covered the streets, much of it
mixed with blood. People had laid out wood planks to walk on, but even those quickly grew slick.

With the satrap’s garrison gone, Tula’s people turned to putting out fires. Entire city blocks were little more than
ash and char. The east wing of the prince’s palace had collapsed, though the west still stood. Prince Asmund
lived; the bulk of his personal guard had not. Tegama left him to rot in there, under the watchful eyes of a band
of farmers. Perhaps they’d have mercy on him. It was no concern of Tegama’s.

A group of children braved one of the barracks’ supply buildings, despite their elders’ warnings. They emerged
covered in soot and reeking of smoke, their hair gray with ash. They passed out what meager goods they’d
found inside: some warm clothes, the last of a store of flour and dried meat. The blaze had destroyed the rest. It
was the same across the city. Fire didn’t take sides.

Still, there were small victories in the aftermath. When Tula led a wagon full of tax records past, the people
stopped her, crowding around to offer their thanks. It was nearly an hour before she could continue on, and they
followed her to the town square, singing victory songs. When the bonfire went up, burning the records, they
roared.

•••••

Throughout the day, Tula counted the dead and consoled the dying. They’d known, all of them, how risky it was
to face down trained Cathak soldiers. They’d known they might not survive — probably wouldn’t, if it went

sour at any point. They’d joined her cause anyway. She gathered mementos for their families and oversaw the
preparations for funeral rites.

Silent Pearl found her wavering on the edge of exhaustion, and took her back to the house of some minor
official who’d fled when the fighting began. “Sleep,” they said, guiding her to an opulent divan heaped with
blankets. “Let us help. You’re not alone anymore.”

Not alone...

Maybe it was the permission she needed, or the one thing she needed to hear. Or maybe Silent Pearl had
worked some sorcery. Whatever it was, the words followed Tula down into a deep sleep.

•••••

Silent Pearl tended to the wounded. The army had set up in the intact side of the prince’s palace,
commandeering a cavernous ballroom where the physicians could do their work. Two nights ago, Asmund had
held a feast here. The linens now served as shrouds for those too far gone to be saved. Silent Pearl had set a
trio of girls to tearing tablecloths into strips to serve as bandages. It gave them something to do besides fret;
their parents were here, being ministered to, their prognoses uncertain.

The rhythms of healing came back to Silent Pearl quickly. Hundreds of years had passed since they’d lived in
their hut in the marshes, since they’d taken on patients, cured their ailments and compounded tinctures to ease
their aches. The world had changed since Silent Pearl went to sleep, but a broken bone was a broken bone.
They set breaks and sewed up gashes. They sent helpers scurrying into the forest for herbs to help dull their
patients’ pain. By the time full dark settled in, their fingers cramped and their back throbbed. They’d done good
work here, today. For Tula, they told themself as they headed off to find a meal before checking on their pupil.

“Wait!” It was one of the linen-tearing girls, her sisters peeking out from behind her.

Silent Pearl paused. “What?” The girls shrank back. The Lunar almost reached back to make sure they hadn’t
grown their nautilus shell, but no. They supposed it was simply their expression. Sazay had remarked once
that Silent Pearl always seemed ready to bite. They tried softening their glare and considered it a success when
none of the three burst into tears. “I’m sorry, children,” they said. “I’m old and creaky, and it makes me gruff.
What do you need?”

The girl in front held up an offering: a knotwork bracelet made from thin linen strips. “This is for you,” she said.
She gathered up her courage and stepped toward Silent Pearl. Tied it around the gobsmacked Lunar’s wrist.
“We wanted to thank you for helping our parents.” She trotted backwards, then all three turned and scampered
away before Silent Pearl could respond.

They toyed with the bracelet and found themself smiling after the girls. All right. Maybe it’s for me, too.

•••••

Tegama sat listening to the half-dozen people who’d taken interim charge of Kulinth. The council’s membership
would likely change in the coming weeks, as other citizens rallied for power and demanded a voice in the new
government, but for now, these six were the city’s rulers. They were farmers and merchants, two of whom
had served in Tula’s uprising. Since dawn, they’d been handling reports from all corners of the city: mounting
concern over food stores, numbers of the dead and displaced. The lists of what needed sorting were endless.
Their arguments over priorities and strategies made Tegama’s temples throb.

For time being, however, they’d set their disputes aside to present a united front before their prisoner. With
them at the table was a woman dressed in finery, her hair neatly coiffed except for a few flyaway strands.
Were it not for her bound hands and the way her eyes darted warily around the council, she could have been
mistaken for an honored guest. She was Nellens Dinad, one of Cathak Vanida’s advisors and her liaison to
Prince Asmund. They’d been interrogating her about Kulinth’s resources for the better part of an hour.

That was where Tegama came in handy. Someone — he suspected Sazay — had let slip that he’d helped
overthrow a tyrant, once, and installed a new ruler in his place. That meant he knew which questions to ask,
what information would help the city get back on its feet. Dinad had provided useful insights, but now the
council was ready to move on to other matters, ones they didn’t trust a Dynastic lackey to overhear.

As two guards approached to return Dinad to her quarters, she chuckled. “They’ll come back for you, you know.
You’ve betrayed the Realm and that will never be allowed to stand. They’ll hang the six of you first, and you,” she
turned to Tegama, “the Wyld Hunt will come for you, Anathema.”

Tegama smiled. He hadn’t exactly been subtle, during the fighting. “The Realm isn’t coming,” he said. “Not
any time soon. They might send some angry letters, maybe appoint some hapless nobody to come negotiate
your release. But a full legion? No. Kulinth’s too far north for them to reclaim it just now. Perhaps in a few
years, when someone sits on that throne. Right now, they’re too busy to worry about us.” He said it more for
the council’s benefit than Dinad’s, but the words cut her as deeply as if he’d swung his blade. She said nothing
more as they took her away.

When the doors closed behind her, the arguing started afresh.

•••••

Sazay was pleased with how it all turned out. She’d composed the first part of the story, and was now working
on that first meeting with Tula and Silent Pearl. She lay by the fire in her fox form, drowsing as she pondered
the details. She considered letting herself get in a few good nips in that fight. It didn’t change the outcome, after
all, and...

As if summoned, Silent Pearl sat down beside her, crouched in their shell.

No, I’ll tell it true.

Tegama came in, smelling of cold and smoke. Perhaps the blast of cold air woke Tula, or the savory scent of
soup bubbling over the hearth. Her jaw cracked with the force of her yawn, and Silent Pearl took her face in
their hands, examining Tula for injury.

“I’m fine,” she said. “Just tired.” She extracted herself and went to sniff at the soup. She added a pinch of salt,
then looked around guiltily.

“One of the families brought it by,” said Sazay, stretching out in her human form. “We’re not insulted if you tinker
with it.” She looked hopefully at Tula and was rewarded with a spoonful to taste. “’s good,” she said. “So. What
next?”

Tegama glanced at her. The Silver Pact could use Tula elsewhere, but would she leave Kulinth? Would she leave
Silent Pearl, who had no use for the Pact, and suggested Tula ought not as well? “There’s work to be done in
Shale Strand. We could use your help. Both of you.”

Silent Pearl said nothing, watching Tula.

“We’ve made a difference here,” she said. “And they’ll need some time to get on their feet. I need to be here for
the start of that. But.” She looked at them each in turn, Silent Pearl the longest. “Kulinth isn’t the only place this
is happening. Other people need us. Need me. Luna can’t have chosen me only for me to stay here.”

The older Lunar retreated into their nautilus shell a moment, then emerged with a sigh. “Fine. Go with them.”

Sazay opened her mouth to argue the reasons they needed Silent Pearl, too, but the No Moon wasn’t done
speaking.

“You go with them, and I’ll go with you. I’m not done teaching you yet.” They took in Sazay and Tegama with a
glare, though it quickly softened. “I suppose you’re not terrible to have around, either.”

Sazay suspected she’d change that last bit, when it came time to tell the tale of how their Circle began.
