Two Twisted Crowns

Elspeth floats in a dark body of water, remembering nothing. The tide draws her to a shore where she sees an old man in gold armor. She asks to be let out, not knowing why, and he greets her by name.

Still shaken from his recent encounter with Elspeth, Ravyn digs at the Shepherd King’s grave, which is located in an ancient chamber within Castle Yew’s meadow. He finds a sword atop the skeletal remains of the actual Shepherd King and takes it with him. He forgets that he is using the Mirror Card to stay invisible, and as he leaves the chamber, the Card shows him a spirit named Tilly, who tells him that she and the rest of her family are waiting for her father, the Shepherd King. When he asks her who killed her, she confirms it was the first Rowan king, though she does not know how her father died since she was the first one to be murdered. She tells him she and her family will continue waiting for him until he finishes his task of righting wrongs, freeing Blunder, and collecting his due.
