COME!" CALLED COVENANT, AND THE SMILE OF THE CHILD echoed him. "There is a crown to be given, and after that he who is crowned shall give crowns to the faithful. The City has been brought forth again, and the Child shall be its King!"
"Look!" called Beauty. "In the gates!"
There beneath an arch another crowd waited-a crowd led by some Wordsmith recognized, including the unbent and perfected figure of Woebearer.
"Who are they?" asked Brightface.
"They are the ones who came before you," smiled Covenant. "They tasted death before you, and so tasted life first as well. The City has been their home," he continued, "but it could not yet be their kingdom. Come!" he beckoned them all forward.
The faithful of all the ages streamed through the gate and joined the Company. Wordsmith looked, and pondered, and understood why some of the graves had emptied after Covenant's death, and why as well none of the newly risen dead had joined the Company in the last stand against Fame. Covenant's chosen dead were already before him, and had already been rewarded with the City.
