	"I didn't want to let Sweet Voice of Brass and Glory go, but it all comes down to politics in the end; politics and finance. 'With the Scarlet Empress gone,' E-Naluna said, 'things are going to get rough on the Blessed Isle, but they should settle down in the East. You won't be needing all of this Ambrosia.' I know that was really Hu Dai Liang's call, though; she's always been in favor of the Realm.

	"She was a beauty, with long hair as black and slick as onyx and skin that shone in the sun with a slight metalic cast. Her face was sharp, like a hawk's, and her nose pinched across the bridge. She dressed resplendantly in blue jade armor with touches of something not quite gold for decoration. She carried a small sword easily at her side, but the bell trumpet she had slung from a velvet sash over her shoulder seemed more dangerous. I asked straight off what post she wanted; usually the gods-touched ask for scalelord, at least.

	"Sweet Brass said 'relay' and I hired her on the spot. I don't know what magic she's bringing to the field, but my men have never been better drilled and communication has never been tighter. But I worry that it won't last. She's been distracted ever since [[Chebam]]. I don't know what happened that day; the men and I were blind in the face of the essence released on the field, like staring into the sun, and Sweet Brass refuses to speak of it. All I know is that she came back with two golden feathers tied into her hair and an ear half-cocked, like she's listening for a distant call."		"Sweet Brass said 'relay' and I hired her on the spot.

Sweet Brass hasn't got much family, though; just Satchel Mouth, some lesser god of experimental trumpet songs. Like I said, it's all politics. I've heard that the girl's set out for Creation. Good for her; maybe she'll wind up serving in Great Forks. It's no more illegal than sitting in the streets of Yu Shan, begging for scraps, and it's a damn sight more honorable."

	"Sweet Brass was a marvel, shining with splendor and almost, in her own domain, as powerful as one of my brothers. She did not rule over the city, or even the mercenary company that employed her, but stood with them, side-by-side, in loyal service; service she pledged to me when she saw my castemark. But of what use is a wonder like that watching spectrally from the sidelines? Better that she should come to stand and fight at our backs.

But the righteous should be rewarded with action and honor, not pushed into the wings like glorified actuaries.
