Skellig goes about his business while listening to the whispers.
Some of them believe that Kreyu has perished and that Taweret and himself are simply holed up in her dwelling, mourning her loss. Others have heard rumor that Kreyu still lives, but is badly wounded, because how else could she be after an arrow? Nobody has seen her lover, the stranger Skellig, but if she has died then perhaps he is overcome with grief. And Akatan, there is so much circulating about him, about what has he done, where has he gone, how did he die?
But nobody is blaming HIM.
He finds it difficult to listen to the voices, and part of him considers (briefly) if perhaps they are not voices of whispers, but echoes of his own mind, of the words he heard last night?
Is he falling into madness? Is the Darkness taking greater hold of him?
