A Tarn-Rider - the giant eagles? He thought he could fly to the Islands. My father warned him. He didn't listen. He never came home." She looks down into her glass. "Once out of sight of land there is only the endless ocean. Nothing to see, no landmarks, no resting place. The steed's wings tire. Eventually... ... The sea is his grave.
