“No! By the Lost Garden itself, no! Listen to me! In all those dream-lives I saw you die, Pamon. It was a torture as great as anything the worm’s cursed blood has brought me. I lay helpless and saw it—saw your death—over and over, in more terrible ways than I could count. In every life where you were beside me as we sailed into the west, I saw you die. If you accompany me, your doom is written.”
