Then Kham was able to slowly make out the forms of the other prisoners, all of them churning helpless in the water above and below him.Kham felt his way down to Scarbelly.  Kham easily freed himself from the chain around his leg.Scarbelly stared at him, unsure of what he was doing.Kham pointed at his own hand, then pointed at Scarbelly.  Scarbelly lifted his hand.Kham took the ring off and put it on the orc’s gnarled hand.  Instantly, he was free and floating upwards.Kham let go of the chain.  He couldn’t help but look down. The men disappeared into the inky darkness like a discarded charm bracelet, doomed to drowning with Clank as their anchor.Then he was at the surface.  The boat that the prisoners were rowing was going down.  Hands yanked him up out of the water.Kham looked up, sputtering, from the bottom of the rowboat. “Well, you’re a sight for sore eyes.”“You’re not,” said Ilmarė.  Orcs rowed to either side of her.Kham stretched out and put his hands behind his head to stare up at the sun, a free man once more.  “It’s good to be back,” he said with a smile.</blockquote>
