They had been singing in the sept all morning, since the first report of enemy sails had reached the castle. The sound of their voices mingled1 with the whicker of horses, the clank of steel, and the groaning2 hinges of the great bronze gates to make a strange and fearful music.

I mean to visit the sept as well, to pray.” “I won’t ask for whom.” His mouth twisted oddly; if that was a smile, off with shouts and cheers. When the last was gone, a sudden stillness settled over the yard, like the hush9 before a storm. Through the quiet, the singing pulled at her. Sansa turned toward the sept.
