He served in that capacity for many years. After an accident one winter, he died briefly before being revived by Herald Mags. That moment of death was enough to sever the Herald-Companion bond. Rolan went on to Choose Nikolas' daughter Amily to replace him. Meanwhile, Nikolas was Chosen a second time by Evory, as he was gasping for breath after being revived. Evory's steady support allowed him to find his balance in his new life, focusing his time and attention on being the king's spymaster.
