After a few minutes, the kid stopped and brayed louder.  The kid has led them to a tiny crevasse.“There’s someone down there!” shouted Vlad.A boy, unconscious, was wedged into the bottom of the crevasse. Beldin looked at Sebastian.  “Think you’re up to it?”“Let’s hope so.”  Sebastian threw off his cloak and unfurled his wings again.  He descended the crevasse, flapping his wings for lift to slow his fall.  A few minutes later and he emerged with the boy.“His leg is broken.” Ilmarė put her hands on the boy’s leg. It glowed with a soft purple light.  “There.”The boy’s eyes fluttered open. He feebly attempted to crawl away. “Be calm,” said Ilmarė.  “If we were going to kill you, you’d be dead already.”“That’s not the kind of diplomacy I had in mind.”  After ensuring that his wings were once again tucked beneath his cloak, Sebastian kneeled in front of the boy and smiled.  “We mean you no harm.”The boy barked something in a different language.  “That’s Ancient Altharin,” said Ilmarė. “A very odd dialect. Let me speak to him.”She spoke something to the boy.  He seemed to calm down. After speaking with him at length, she addressed her companions.“His name is Hinod. He was leading a herd of goats back to his village when he fell through a layer of ice and slid down into the crevasse. He would like lead the us back to his village.”“Anything’s better than this mountain,” said Vlad.</blockquote>
