      THE HOUSE OF HASSON

      The spaceship hatch opened and Jesh stared out at Kinthaldith. The air was cold, but fresh. Jesh shivered; he had forgotten the cold. He saw mountains in the distance; he saw the valley covered with trees. He knew the name of the mountain and the name of the river that sprang from it. He knew the name of all the nearby lands. Even the weight of the wind felt familiar, the smells of the air. Jesh was home at last--for better or for worse.

      Jesh was young, just out of college. His features were unremarkable; his hair, a dusty brown. He wasn't tall. His face was serious and held little expression, as though unused to showing others his emotions. He looked out across the landing area.

      Snow covered the ground, but still the people came and gathered around the spaceship. Jesh watched them--a hundred, and more arriving every moment. Most of them were men, dressed in long tunics with bright colors and bulky cloaks. Theirs were a stark contrast to Jesh's tight fitting, synthetic clothes. The crowd had weapons--swords, clubs. Their mood was hostile.

      In the eleven years since Prent had quarantined the medieval world from all space contact, his would be the Alliance had allowed.

      In the front of the crowd, closest to the hatch, were members of the Kinthaldan Court of Lords. Nearby was the Lawbody and the leading members of the House of Hassonlandith, Jesh’s household. Thirty military men stood at attention, dressed in traditional crimson and gold.

      The crowd watched the ship, waiting for Jesh to come out.

      Llatt joined him and stared out the door at the group below them. His eyes widened when he saw the numbers that had come to meet them. Llatt was no older than Jesh. They had gone to law school together and had graduated together a year ago.

      You're crazy, Jesh, said Llatt. I shouldn't have brought you.

      I would have hired a ship.

      "Don't go.
