Aw, this was cute! I love how Ciaran's so innocent and oblivious to evil - even after what's happened to him - that he thinks the best of all those he encounters, and they so naturally respond in kind. He's such a sweetie.
'The troll stared at him uncomprehendingly. The zombie thought for a long moment, then reached out again to pet him. Ciaran smiled. "Never mind, I'll figure it out," he told them. ' That was probably my favourite line, because I just loved the idea of him being petted by a zombie and not minding.
In spite of all the dark things that have happened to him, Ciaran's such a serene, light character, and I love it that you've managed to make that work.
My one confuslement - from reading the Darkness Falling section, it looked to me like Oliae came to the castle first, and rescued Karai from hunters before bringing him back, too, but here you have Karai's arrival all on his own. Was I just reading it wrong?
