.The onlything I use it for isfindings.Thero scratched the bit of dried blood from the hilt and pinched itbetween his thumb and forefinger.With head bowed, he whispered the blood calling to blood spell, then waitedsilently for the images toPage 175ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlappear.But nothing came to him except a distant blur of light, dancing just outof reach.Alec! Alec, come tome.But nothing else did, except that strange blur, and it told him only thatAlec was probably alive.He broke off in frustration and opened his eyes to find everyone watchinghim. I think he s alive, but Ican t place him, or even see him.Something s shielding him, but it s likenothing I ve ever encountered. But he is alive? said Micum. I m quite sure of it. Well, what can you make of this, then? Micum took the hilt from him andpressed the tooth intoThero s hand. You can bet this bastard bled.If we can find him, maybe he cantell us where they weretaken.Where is he?Chagrined at not having thought of it himself, Thero smiled up at Riagil. I told you he s a clever man.He clasped the tooth between his palms and whispered the spell again.Thistime the images came atonce, fast and clear.The man who d lost the tooth was alive and laughing withsome others.By theirspeech, dark complexions, and beards, he knew them for Plenimarans.Somenoble s own men-at-arms,by the look of them, or brigands.With Plenimarans, it was often difficult totell the difference. They re calling him by name& yes, it s Notis. Thero strained to see moreof the man s surroundings.The spell was a hard one, and made his head pound as he pushed himself to hislimit.Sweat was beadedon his brow and upper lip by the time he opened his eyes. Vir�sse! By theLight, the man is in Vir�sse,in some sort of barracks or on a ship.I can t tell which, but he s mostcertainly there.I recognize theharbor. What s a Plenimaran slaver doing there, of all places? wondered Micum. He may not be a slaver by trade, Riagil told him. Not even Ulan �Sathil would stoop so low as totrade in bodies.But this Notis may be in service to one who does, and thatman may be a trader in othercommodities. The point is, he s in Aur�nen! Thero exclaimed. We have to find him andmake him tell us whathappened.That s the only link we have to where they might have been taken. Khirnari, can any of your people do that traveling spell that brought ushere? asked Micum. No.That, like the blood spell, is no part of Aur�nfaie magic.But if weride hard, we can be back inGedre soon enough, and there I can put you on my fastest ship.Whatever youneed, you have only toask.Thero stood and bowed to him. We accept your kind offer, Khirnari, withour deepest thanks.It sstill a great wide world to search in, but this gives me hope. Thank the Four, Micum murmured, leaning heavily on his stick. If theyare alive, then I won t stopuntil I find them and bring them home!CHAPTER 33Page 176ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlTopPage No 116Child of No WomanTHE FOLLOWING DAY, Alec and Khenir were allowed in the garden again,veiled and underguard, as usual.Apart from the ever-present escort, this was the best placefor a potential escape, andclose to the cell he was in now.He was glad that they hadn t thought to puthim back in the first cellunder the main house, at least not yet.All he had to do was get the cell andworkshop doors open somenight when the workshop was empty, slip out here, and over the wall.Ofcourse, he d have to find a wayto carry the rhekaro when he went&That last thought brought him to a sudden halt by the fountain.He kepthis gaze on the fish swimminglazily after Khenir s crumbs, but his mind was racing [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
