External. A lonely roadside shrine in the middle of a dusty plain. Mountains in the background. A Dwarf with a horse and cart call out.

Benk: Guardian!

A knight with shoulder length hair and a trim beard wearing a cape stands in the shrine doorway, half cloaked in shadow.

Zindello: I have a name, Benk. Or have you forgotten me altogether?

Closeup on Benk, A bald man with a long light beard, wearing scalemail. A long scar runs diagonally across his face.

Benk: I have not forgotten, Zindello. But we need to put our past aside. It’s Chief Inquisitor Mortimer. He’s dead.

This was actually the first page I drew for the book. You can see I’m still trying to figure out the digital medium.
