Candlelight flickers off the old cracked spines in the archive as Caspian rounds the corner, only to stop dead at the sight of another man--a stranger, with pale skin and dark hair, a thin frame, and eyes as sharp as a crow’s. The man has a book held open in the palm of one hand and, as if unsurprised by Caspian’s interruption, he immediately says, “Did you know that these fairy tales are considerably more accurate than any of those false history tomes your people wrote to cover up the existence of the true Narnian peoples?” Then, with a quirk of his eyebrows, he reshelves the book and walks away without a backward glance.

(Caspian follows the man, of course, but he has disappeared without a trace; in later days, he asks about the castle but no one, it seems, has ever seen the man with crow’s eyes.)
