Summary
He ascends as quickly as his meager athleticism will allow and when he reaches the second floor landing his ears immediately twitch, catching the sound of soft music.
It’s… lovely. And Essek finds himself caught, like a fish on a lure, and drawn in towards the source.
He finds it a couple of yards down from the staircase, tucked away in a lamplit alcove; an upright piano, the top of it crowded with books, and a certain red-headed wizard at the bench, his freckled fingers dancing across the keys.
The wizards—and Beau—watch a meteor shower whilst Ruidus is at its zenith in the hills outside Zadash. Some surprises are had and wishes are made.

Summary
Calm emotions is a spell he doesn’t need to pray for these days. The magic sits like honey at the roof of his mouth. He lets it unfurl with his breath, heat seeping into his cold fingers. The body shudders and stills. The only sound is his ragged breathing. “This is only going to last a minute,” Caduceus says. “And then it’s all going to come back. So I need you to breathe and look at me, okay? I’m not going to hurt you and you’re not going to hurt me.”
The eyes blink. Once. Twice. Three times. “Cad?”
“Yep. You’re good.”
“I’m good?”
“I like to think so. You’re certainly not bad. I’ve killed you before; I’d know.”
(Kingsley is brought to the garden).

Summary
Essek extends a hand towards the base of Caleb’s neck. Then freezes, as if he doesn't quite dare to touch. His fingertips hover over Caleb’s throat, a breath away from the pale streak of a scar, the place where a Sourger’s shiv struck home and sprayed blood over the walls of the Dungeon of Penance.
‘I did this,’ Essek says. His voice is quiet enough to scrape in his throat. ‘I allowed this to happen.’
(In which Caleb and Essek confront demons - in more ways than one - and discuss forgiveness.)
