One good thing about this time of day, there's not too many people around. Definitely not in the Ramble behind Belvedere Castle; it's hard enough to find your way there in broad daylight in high summer. At night, with snow on the twisting paths, it's unpleasant verging on dangerous.
And that's not counting the nest of Ixwal demons in the center of it. Correction: the nest of Ixwal demons that used to be in the center of it, until tonight.
Andrew emerges from the trees and makes his way slowly up the broad shallow stairs leading up to the castle, limping badly and leaning on a stick pressed into service as a cane.

He hasn't seen yet that he's not alone here.
