I chose not to pursue that particular comment. тАШIt just occurs to me that maybe you
and I might want to consider taking Queen Trenicia and the horse soldier Ekial with
us to the war in VeltanтАЩs Domain,тАЩ I said. тАШTheyтАЩll probably be fighting the servants
of the Vkgh before much longer, it wouldnтАЩt hurt for them to see what theyтАЩll be
coming up against.тАЩ

тАШYou might be right, Dahlaine,тАЩ Aracia agreed. тАШAs I recall, the Maags and
Trogites werenтАЩt too happy when Zelana finally got around to telling them about
some of the peculiarities of the enemy. Maybe you and I should try honesty rather
than deception.тАЩ

тАШWhat an unnatural thing to suggest, Aracia,тАЩ I joked. тАШIтАЩm shocked at you.
Shocked!тАЩ

тАШOh, quit!тАЩ she said.

And then we both laughed.



My thunderbolt took me across the lower edge of the Wasteland, and I peered
down at the sand and rocks rather closely on the off-chance that I might see the
servants of the Vlagh moving toward our young brotherтАЩs Domain, but as far as I
could tell, the desert below was void of any kind of life.
 The twin volcanos at the head of the ravine above Lattash were still belching fire
as I rode my thunderbolt into ZelanaтАЩs Domain, and I was quite certain the eruption
would continue for years. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed that
perhaps I should have put some limitations on the capabilities of the Dreamers. They
were children, after all, and children sometimes get carried away and overly
enthusiastic. The only problem I saw with that notion was how. Despite their
immaturity, the Dreamers had virtually unlimited power over the forces of nature, and
I ruefully conceded that they could quite probably step over any barrier I might have
tried to put in their way. My original idea had seemed to be a perfect solution to a
serious problem, but perhaps I should have given it just a bit more thought.

I cast out a searching thought and sensed ZelanaтАЩs presence about halfway down
the north side of the bay, and I directed my thunderbolt to that spot.

Zelana was talking with Red-Beard and Longbow in what appeared to be a village
in the final stages of construction some distance down the bay from Lattash. The
rounded hills behind that new village had gentler slopes than the steep peaks
somewhat to the east of Lattash, there was a patch of woods just to the north of the
new village, and a meadow that stretched for miles beyond those woods.

тАШDo you have to do that, Dahlaine?тАЩ Zelana demanded peevishly when I suddenly
joined them. тАШIsnтАЩt there some way you can muffle that awful noise?тАЩ

тАШI donтАЩt think so, Zelana. Lightning is the fastest way to travel, but you have to put
up with the noise. AshadтАЩs been dreaming, and it seems that our speculation came
