EoS Chapter 28
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rider's Return edit
vin awakens in Istinjoln, interrupted from dreams of Eliles by Fronk, sharing her intel—minus the fire sprite—with Pikarn over breakfast. Pikarn tests Woxlin with Broldun rumors, confirming Dunkol’s presence despite denials, opting to stay another day. Ivin whittles aimlessly until Modan returns with Puxele, recounting a Shadow chase and Colok rescue in the Omindi, revealing Tokodin and Zjin’s request for Choerkin talks at Snow’s Eye about a shared Shadow foe—possibly Istinjoln. Pikarn, wary of monastery ears, orders a swift ride to meet the Colok, silencing Ivin’s Istinjoln rebellion theory. As they depart, Ivin spots Ilpen’s wagon with Solineus and Lelishen entering Istinjoln, musing on his name’s mixed blessings and Eliles’ absence, relieved to escape the fortress’ potential trap.
