So, I am trapped between Life and Death, and barred from reentering either. [The face on the screen is young- no more than eighteen- and deathly pale, save for a strange sunburn around her left eye. She pauses, draws herself up, and speaks with as much authority as she can muster, though Sabriel is hiding considerable exhaustion.]
If anyone here has some knowledge of necromancy, I wish to speak with them, as well as anyone who can tell me more about this place without insisting "That's the Emperor's business" [And Sabriel can't quite contain her exasperation as she utters that phrase.] , I would be grateful. I don't have much of the local currency, but I have some knowledge of Charter Magic-[And there's a long, hesitant pause before she begins to speak again, in a tone that's halfway between reluctant and reassuring.] And of necromancy- but I do not raise the Dead, I put them to rest. I am willing to trade my services in such for more information, particularly about whatever mechanism is preventing me from walking into Life and Death, and if this land has ever been troubled by the Dead. [And somehow, you can just hear the capital letters in her speech.]

Mm . . . I'm new too, so I'm not exactly sure, but I think there's something to keep people from going anywhere. Some kind of barrier, maybe? Whatever it is seems to work on everyone; everyone seems pretty definite that no one's found a way to get out yet.
. . . What do you mean, "between life and death, though?" Aren't you already in life?
[This sounds ominous.]

The Kedan told me that this is a world between the two. And as for the barrier- I suppose we'll have to find some way to destroy it, then.

ger.]That's not right at all! That's definitely terrorizing people, and it has to be stopped immediately!
. . . And between life and . . .
[The girl visibly pales, but forces herself to push forward.]
I'm not absolutely sure it's a barrier -- as I said, I'm new too. But it seems like it would have to be, doesn't it? Something preventing people from going home . . .
[Her mouth firms.]
I want to help. All I can.

I- Thank you. My name is Sabriel.

[She beams.] I'm Amelia! It's nice to meet you.
