Chapter 14

Friday morning

Day six

Jon watched the pale light of dawn filter through the trees and twist into wisps of fog that floated along a stream of water, then poured like lava over the cliff.

The stream's babbling rush was lost to the thunderous waves below. Far out at sea, a boat bobbed like a black cork on the pewter sea. Jon wondered if past wreckers had stood where he stood with their ill-guiding lanterns, to wait for ships to crumble on the straggles below.
