Then, when he was in debt yet again, he killed himself in one of his rare lucid moments when he could see what was happening to him. My father sold me as a slave because of it. Then they do what they must to raise a stake so they can gamble again. Not to win, for all they do with winnings is keep on gambling until they lose. The sufferers require continual proof of the god's favor. The disease is more than just a desire for the god's presence. It's an overwhelming desire for the god's constant presence. One thing, if you worship him too much, he'll abandon you altogether. He's not a daedra, but he's got a daedric side to him, for sure. Those rules aren't always easy to keep, and one god's rules may require you to violate another's but you know where you are. And the better you keep the rules and the more you worship the god, the higher you rise in his favor. They lay down rules and if you obey them and pay homage to the god, why then he or she grants you favor. Reasonable, in sequence, so one thing follows from another, and you know where you are. 'Being as you're Breton, I can understand that. Mats seemed to require less sleep than the rest. Edward had slept a bit as soon as they had stopped for the night, while the others prepared supper. Now that they were travelling, they were sleeping only at night, which was a difficult adjustment for Mith and Moraelyn, who had to use spells to cope with it. The dark elves' natural sleep pattern was a period of five or six hours during the day, and a short nap of two or three hours after midnight. 'Goodnight, then.' Moraelyn and Mith went off to join those who were already asleep, leaving Mats and Beech and Edward by the fire. I play only among my friends, whom I do trust.' I know how undependable Sai's favor is, and how capricious. It's not altogether unwarranted, but I am mindful of the temptation. I appreciate your concern for me, my friend. 'Who should know that better than I? Nay, do not apologize. Sai's not someone you want to get overfond of, Mats.' 'It's not every night Sai visits me and I do enjoy his presence.' He'd have had that money off me i' the end. It's foolish to play with Mats on those nights when the God of Luck himself stands at his shoulder and all I have at mine is a runaway Breton prince who should be in his bed. 'I'm sorry.' Edward looked ruefully at the few remaining coins. But remember that a good hand's worthless if someone else holds a better.' 'Some things you're supposed to learn for yourself. 'Ah, that'd be telling,' Moraelyn grinned. Five beautiful Ladies! You don't see them together every day they're not that fond of one another's company.' Mats, that hand is almost worth the viewing price. 'Except that you could have accepted my generous offer instead of throwing an insult at me.' Mats laid down the perfect hand called The Ladies.

Let's see if I'm the one who needs educating on how to play this game.' 'You filthy Nord,' Moraelyn said in disgust, 'put down your cards and take my gold, if you can beat my hand. 'Ah,' Mats said, 'you needn't do that, my friend. No one ever told me that fatherhood came cheaply.' He shoved most of his coins into the pot to match Mats' bet and Edward laid the hand down. 'Well, how'm I s'posed to learn?' Mats didn't have to show his cards unless they matched his bet. 'But there aren't many better hands than what we've got!' Edward protested. 'Throw the hand down, Edward, we're through.' 'I think I'll just play the cards I hold,' Mats said at last, and pushed a pile of coins into the pot, then with sudden resolve, added a few more. Edward accepted the shelter of Moraelyn's arm and warm fur cloak and sat close against his side. You can hold the cards if you like.' The wind was chill there was a bite to it now that they were farther north and the year had grown older.

'You're shivering, son,' Moraelyn said, 'Have you no warmer clothing? We must find something for you. But this time he had been dealt a good hand. And yet, the pile of coins in front of Moraelyn had grown smaller since Edward had taken a place behind him.

It was too dark for Beech and Mats to see Edward now, and Moraelyn blocked him from Mith's view.

Moraelyn said that it was not really a question of luck, but that their hands were reflected in Edward's face for those that had the eyes to see such images. The other players, Beech, Mith and Mats said Edward brought them bad luck.

He was sitting away from the fire, so it was dark for human eyes, but Moraelyn was the only one of the group who would allow Edward to see his hand. Edward knelt behind Moraelyn, leaning over his shoulder so that he could see the cards the elf held.
