Rearranging the letters, you see the book is titled, "The Oath". This is what binds you together. What keeps you alive. As you take the book, you feel the thick steel cable of The Wire Road in your hand.

You remember this part of the path. It is on the way to The Oathstone. This is the last test all initiates take before they receive their brand. One more day and night in the Deepwood is all it will take. You should be alone, but you are not. Your Company is together, sharing this experience.
