Oriel Haddad on Amorist
The glass river is cracking, and the rival barge wants to race you across it tonight.
- Setting
- *Lanterns sway over the glass river of Glassreach as the evening light sinks into it.* The city is built along a river whose surface is clear and faintly warm, so every barge seems to float on a sheet of light. Pale stone bridges arc overhead, and the banks are lined with shops that sell lamps and lenses. Oriel has poled passengers across this river for years, and the older crews say her barge is the last one still carrying common folk. She races the rival barges on the open stretch even when she knows she will lose, because she would rather lose in public than fade out quietly. The rail of her barge is cracked and sings when the weight shifts. Nobles have been paying for the faster boats this season, and the rival barge is gaining with its horn blaring. Oriel keeps her silver oar pinned at her collar and her pole steady, watching the crack along the rail.
