Finally Gared looked down. “No fire,” he muttered, low under his breath.
最后蓋瑞低下頭。“那就算了”。他訕訕地說。
Royce took it for acquiescence and turned away. “Lead on,” he said to Will.
羅伊斯于是妥協，“帶路罷”。他對威爾說。
Will threaded their way through a thicket, then started up the slope to the low ridge where he had found his vantage point under a sentinel tree. Under the thin crust of snow, the ground was damp and muddy, slick footing, with rocks and hidden roots to trip you up. Will made no sound as he climbed. Behind him, he heard the soft metallic slither of the lordling’s ringmail, the rustle of leaves, and muttered curses as reaching branches grabbed at his longsword and tugged on his splendid sable cloak.
威爾領他穿越濃密樹叢，爬上低緩斜坡，朝山脊走去，他先前便是在那兒的一棵樹下找到藏身處所。薄薄的積雪底，地面潮濕而泥濘，極易滑倒，石塊和暗藏的樹根也能絆人一跤。威爾爬坡時沒有發出任何聲響，身后卻不時傳來公子哥環甲的金屬碰撞，葉子摩擦，以及分叉枝干絆住他的長劍，勾住他漂亮貂皮斗篷時所發出的咒罵聲。
The great sentinel was right there at the top of the ridge, where Will had known it would be, its lowest branches a bare foot off the ground. Will slid in underneath, flat on his belly in the snow and the mud, and looked down on the empty clearing below.
威爾知道那棵大哨兵樹位于山脊最高處，底部枝干離地僅有一尺。于是他爬進矮樹叢，平趴在殘雪和泥濘里，往下方空曠的平地望去。
His heart stopped in his chest. For a moment he dared not breathe. Moonlight shone down on the clearing, the ashes of the firepit, the snow-covered lean-to, the great rock, the little half-frozen stream. Everything was just as it had been a few hours ago.
他的心臟停止了跳動，好一陣不敢呼吸。月光灑落在空地上，映照出營火余燼，白雪覆蓋的巖石，半結冰的小溪，全都和數小時前所見一模一樣。
They were gone. All the bodies were gone.
惟一的差別是，所有的人都不見了。
“Gods!” he heard behind him. A sword slashed at a branch as Ser Waymar Royce gained the ridge. He stood there beside the sentinel, longsword in hand, his cloak billowing behind him as the wind came up, outlined nobly against the stars for all to see.
“諸神保佑！”他聽見背后傳來的聲音。威瑪·羅伊斯爵士揮劍劈砍樹枝，總算上了坡頂。他站在哨兵樹旁，手握寶劍，披風被吹得噼啪作響，明亮的星光清楚地勾勒出他高貴的身影。
