Changing!… Changes boil around Fitz like in a whirlpool. He doesn’t run from them—instead, he draws them to himself. He managed to unite people only by standing at the brink of death, and he created a group of Dutiful—five such a strange combination of people, and so weak in their grasp of the Skill. They need to get the head of the dragon Icefire, buried under a thick layer of ice covering the harsh island. Only then can the prince’s marriage and the marriage with Narresha take place—only in this way can the feud between the Six Duchies and the Outer Isles be stopped.
Everyone ended up between a man’s word and a woman’s will. Neither can be violated—otherwise they all will face disgrace.
Fitz tried to keep the Jester away from the island of Aslevjal, because he believed the jester would die there. Will his prophecy come true? But the Jester has to accept his death. Maybe he won’t have enough courage, but he is ready to meet it completely consciously. Knowing what happens after his death, he decided he was willing to pay that price. He determined he would come to the island and set in motion a chain of events that would end with the dragon’s liberation.
Yes, he knows that his death will be awful—in cold and pain. But he has seen there is a chance to bring dragons back to the world, and that these proud and remarkable creatures, like people, will have hope for renewal. And people will stop dominating, forcing everyone their order. Yes, life in the new world will be difficult; perhaps people will curse him. However, people and dragons will be so busy with each other that they won’t be able to change the nature of things by their own will. And it seemed to him that this is exactly what the true order of things should be.
The Jester’s mission is nearing its end. Fitz needs to do something. It must be done. Because the Jester’s fate depends only on him. The Jester’s death is the turning point of the journey. It’s only left to survive the death and move on. And everyone will live long and happily ever after, and they will have many, many children.
But don’t think it will be exactly like that...
Meanwhile, Tinaltiya from Bingtown—the only adult dragon in the world. With each passing year it becomes clear that the young dragons that hatched from their cocoons have stopped growing; they are weak and can neither hunt nor fly. Dragons mate in the air. If the young can’t take to the air, they won’t be able to have offspring. And the dragons will go extinct.
This time, forever.
If—of course—one can find an adult dragon capable of flying and mating with Tinaltiya to bring new hatchlings into the world… Fitz Chival the Seeing!
The solution depends only on him.
