The knight kneels in a garden of thorns. There is nothing inside his armour except an oath, repeated so often it has learned to move a sword.
An iron spur is driven through his shadow. It is the second key.
He watches the doorway behind you. He has watched it for ninety-nine winters. A remembered name might end a vigil that steel can only interrupt.
"No one passes until the boat returns."
Sir Edrin / 7 blood remaining
