A scene
The Vanir sentry on the stockade wall at Haloga hears a woman's voice from the dark below, speaking his own tongue, calm and low. Open the gate, it says. Hild the witch feels his will fold under hers like wet paper. He climbs down and lifts the bar while his comrades sleep. Then, because she is cruel and curious, she tells him to put his hand in the brazier. He stops with his fingers an inch from the coals, shudders, and shakes himself free. Hild slips through the gate anyway.
