“Why is
that?” I asked. “Why are these accounts not to be trusted?”
Oak looked
at me with ancient eyes. “Because they are given by agents who
have entered the Weave. An agent only enters the Weave when invited,
or when they have renounced the Forest. The Weave is unlikely to
invite its enemy in for a nice cup of tea and a chat. Which means
that all we know are the words of traitors.”
“You seem
very certain of that.”
“I make a
point of speaking to all of those that return.”
“Well what
about Raven, then? He was invited.”
“I mean no
offence when I tell you this, but I only have your word for that.”
