“Get down!” Will whispered urgently. “Something’s wrong.”
“快趴下來！”威爾焦急地低聲說：“出怪事了。”
Royce did not move. He looked down at the empty clearing and laughed. “Your dead men seem to have moved camp, Will.”
羅伊斯沒動，他俯瞰著下面空蕩蕩的平地笑道：“威爾，看來你說的那些死人轉移陣地啰。”
Will’s voice abandoned him. He groped for words that did not come. It was not possible. His eyes swept back and forth over the abandoned campsite, stopped on the axe. A huge double-bladed battle-axe, still lying where he had seen it last, untouched. A valuable weapon.
威爾仿佛突然間喪失了說話能力，他竭力尋找合適的字眼，卻徒勞無功。怎么會有這種事，他的視線在荒廢的營地中來回掃視，最后停留在那柄斧頭上。這么一把巨大的雙刃戰斧，竟會留在原地紋絲不動。照說這么值錢的家伙……
“On your feet, Will,” Ser Waymar commanded. “There’s no one here. I won’t have you hiding under a bush.”
“威爾，起來罷。”威瑪爵士命令道，“這里沒人，躲躲藏藏的，成何體統！”
Reluctantly, Will obeyed.
威爾很不情愿地照辦。
Ser Waymar looked him over with open disapproval. “I am not going back to Castle Black a failure on my first ranging. We will find these men.” He glanced around. “Up the tree. Be quick about it. Look for a fire.”
威瑪爵士不滿地上下打量他。“我可不想第一次巡邏就鎩羽而歸。我們一定要找到這些家伙。”他環顧四周。“爬到樹上去看看，動作快，注意附近有沒有火光。”
Will turned away, wordless. There was no use to argue. The wind was moving. It cut right through him. He went to the tree, a vaulting grey-green sentinel, and began to climb. Soon his hands were sticky with sap, and he was lost among the needles. Fear filled his gut like a meal he could not digest. He whispered a prayer to the nameless gods of the wood, and slipped his dirk free of its sheath. He put it between his teeth to keep both hands free for climbing. The taste of cold iron in his mouth gave him comfort.
威爾無言地轉身，知道辯解無益。風勢轉強，有如刀割。他走到高聳筆直的青灰色哨兵樹旁開始往上爬。很快他便消失在無邊松針里，雙手沾滿樹汁。恐懼像肚里一頓難以消化的飯菜，他只能向不知名的森林之神默禱，一邊抽出匕首，用牙咬住，空出雙手攀爬。嘴里冰冷的兵器讓他稍微安了點心。
