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.]

I am sorry to say they do not.

[ pause. ]

I apologize for my overly chary nature. Magic has done little good I have seen, and I fear I've let it make me prejudicial.

You say you...put the dead to rest. And yet that is necromancy?

[ It sounds to her mind like some kin of bloodmagic, and feels a familiar stir of unease. And yet this woman has a noble sort of honesty about her. ]

Then you are a champion of the innocent, after a fashion.
