“It wasn’t just a dream either,” he states. Lifting up his shirt he shows them the burns upon his chest.

“The Shroud of Killian blinding the giant’s eye refers to the time in the moon’s cycle when it turns black,” Illan explains. “It’s an old tale that my grandmother told me when I was younger.”
“She said that I didn’t have much time.”
“The moon turns dark in three days,” Brother Willim says. “The second time will be a month after that.
“Then in a little over a month,” he says, “the knife will fall.”
