Episode 51 of Four Crowns.
Four crowns.
There's a mark on the lane's dust, just past the second turning, he said, low, addressing the whole room now.
Boot-shaped.
Fresh enough that last night's damp hasn't fully claimed it yet.
We returned to Vamor again that winter.
The rhythm Bram had first proposed now settled into something like a real practice.
Seasons of road, seasons of rest, the four-year-old, six now, and utterly certain of my face, growing up watching her mother leave and, faithfully, always come home again.
It was during that winter's rest that Ariza, old and slower now but no less sharp, pulled me aside with news that changed the shape of everything ahead.
There's a scholar, she said, come from the old libraries in the capital, studying the founders' original texts, the ones that survived the healing, buried in an archive nobody thought to look at properly until your story made people curious about the founders again.
She's found something, Ava.
Records.
An actual count.
I sat with Ariza in the library that evening, poring over the scholar's careful transcriptions, and felt the ground shift beneath a journey I'd been undertaking almost entirely by instinct and rumor.
Twelve, the scholar, a careful woman named Delphine, told me.
As best I can determine from the surviving Founder's records, twelve true wounds were made, across the whole of the Old World, before the Founder's own order finally collapsed.
You've answered six.
Twelve.
A real number, for the first time since Bram had first pointed out the road's true toll on us at Farawake's threshold.
Six answered, six remaining, somewhere out past every edge we hadn't yet crossed.
That's not so many, Rune said, when I told my four that evening.
Six more cities.
We've already proven we can do this.
"'Six more cities,' Sable said, doing the careful arithmetic he never quite stopped doing, "'means six more Martianesses, or lords, or councils, or whole orders of morning keepers, "'each one needing however long it actually takes to trust us.
"'Caulder's Reach took a season.
"'Farawak took most of a year.
