THE LOST LORD

It should not have taken this long, Griff told himself as he paced the deck of the Shy Maid. Had they lost Haldon as they had Tyrion Lannister? Could the Volantenes have taken him? I should have sent Duckfield with him. Haldon alone could not be trusted; he had proved that in Selhorys when he let the dwarf2 escape.
The Shy Maid was tied up in one of the meaner sections of the long, chaotic3 riverfront, between a listing poleboat that had not left the pier4 in years and the gaily5 painted mummers’ barge6. The mummers were a loud and lively lot, always quoting speeches at each other and drunk more oft than not.
The day was hot and sticky, as all the days had been since they left the Sorrows. A ferocious7 southern sun beat down upon the crowded riverfront of Volon Therys, but heat was the last and least of Griff’s concerns. The Golden Company was encamped three miles south of town, well north of where he had expected them, and Triarch Malaquo had come north with five thousand foot and a thousand horse to cut them off from the delta8 road. Daenerys Targaryen remained a world away, and Tyrion Lannister … well, he could be most anywhere. If the gods were good, Lannister’s severed9 head was halfway10 back to King’s Landing by now, but more like the dwarf was hale and whole and somewhere close, stinking11 drunk and plotting some new infamy12.
“Where in the seven hells is Haldon?” Griff complained to Lady Lemore. “How long should it take to buy three horses?”
