Trevyn smiled, a warm, companionable smile. "It is hi the nature of human young to leave their parents,"
he said.

But I am a wolf. And it is in the nature of wolves to be loyal.

"You are more than wolf or human either," said Ylim. "Whose was the face, the first one?"

Mine. He did not hesitate to claim it. She nodded.

"And it is the face of an immortal. You are the son of Maeve the Moon Mother and Trevyn Elfborn, he
who brought the magic back from Elwestrand to Isle. That was a turning of the great tide, a greater
marvel than you can well imagine, and you were born of that magic." She eyed him sternly. "Dair, the
web does not show its wonders for just anyone, you know. Fate may well take you away from your
father and Isle."

Dair only whimpered.

"He is very young," Trevyn excused him. "That one on the boatтАФdo you think he is part of Dair's
destiny?"

"He and the swan, somehow. Ay."

"Who is he? Where does he come from?"

"How can I know?" Ylim grumbled. "I don't direct my weaving, Alberic, any more than you direct your
dreams," For Trevyn's dreams were the font of the magic of Isle.

"And the flower, the lakeтАФ"

"I don't know."

"And how Dair's human form is to come to himтАФ"

Ylim merely smiled.

"Answer me just this one question, Ylim," Trevyn requested. "The large question. What part have you
seen in tile pattern for Dair?"

She hesitated. "Dair," she said to the young wolf at last, "this is not binding. The pattern is ever changing.
You may yet change it yourself."

Iunderstand , Dair said.

"The pattern then is this: that you shall continue what your father has begun. That you shall carry magic
onward to the mainland."
