answer the questions that the men forget to answer.Ф

УOr kept from us. Ouch, damn you!Ф

SalinТs gaze hooded, and he leaned toward Diana. She swatted at his broad chest
without any effect. He overpowered her and eventually got his kiss. A completely chaste, but
drawn-out kiss. Gala, meantime, offered Irin some wine or a sweetmeat.

When Salin disengaged from Diana, both were a tad mellower. УWe brought Irin to
you so that you could all try and keep the boredom away.Ф He smoothed some of DianaТs
straight white hair back from her face. УI know itТs difficult for you.Ф He flattened the same
hand over her belly. УItТs hard for Irin, too. Getting to know each other can only help.Ф

interest that both men were careful to say fond farewells to Irin.

УAnd so, IТve lost another son.Ф

Savous glanced sidelong at his fatherТs profile, then at RadinТs carefully blank face, then
back into the gaping black void before them. УItТs only been two nights.Ф

the void. УHeТs not coming back.Ф

They sat on carved stone benches that lined two walls of a warm, natural stone cavern.
Here, unlike in most of the rest of the underground city, few improvements had been made
to the stone to make it more habitable. The benches on which Savous, Valanth, Radin, and
Betaf sat were roughly hewn from natural shelves of rock. The seats and the ground beneath
their feet were smooth only from the countless feet that had trod upon the stone. The only
light in the cavern was provided by the faintly glowing green moss that thinly coated the
walls and the eerie magical blue lightning that circled a black opening.

The opening wasnТt just black. It was a void of color. The lightning that surrounded it
was a reaction of the natural world to the supernatural gateway. The hole itself was a tall
oval, tapered at the top. It was just tall and wide enough to admit the largest of the raedjour.


Stone seemed to make up the walls to either side of it, but the hole was not truly in the stone
setting.
