I'm - not impaired the way she used to be. I think She's better at sending visions than Aroden was.

That should make him less concerned but if anything it really makes him more concerned. All right. Thank you for saving us all.

Anytime, apparently.

Should I leave you be?

If she could get one without troubling Catherine she would want a hug.

 

Yes.

"No one actually knows what happened to Areelu Vorlesh. I always assumed that opening the Worldwound destroyed her. She hasn't been seen since."

Permalink

"I want to know more about her anyway."

Permalink

"Sure. There aren't really that many candidates. Baba Yaga, I guess."

Permalink

"Well, if it's her we have a problem. But she'd seem to have fewer interests in the Wound than Vorlesh would."

Permalink

"Agreed. Other than that - weak wizard who got lucky?"

Permalink

"I don't buy it."

Permalink

"I figured you wouldn't. But there are a lot more weak wizards who occasionally get lucky than archmages who've been presumed dead for a century."

"It's not the kind of plan that makes sense to try if you think you have very little chance of success. Trying to Dominate me when I'm training the men in the yard, maybe. Trying it when we're fully equipped for a fight? And - they knew they'd be there, which means they're spying on us, which means they have Mind Blank and some very good additional spell access."

"Or that someone's a traitor."

Permalink

"Always a possibility but - everyone who knew any details of the op was on the op, and only the teleporters had the teleport locations. And Nenio might in fact betray me to Areelu Vorlesh but not to most people."

Permalink

"Nenio might betray you to Areelu Vorlesh???"

Permalink

"Yeah, she's apparently a big fan." Marit is so tired. "If it's a traitor, who."

Permalink

"Daeran, easy. He liked you until you reconciled with Galfrey and now he's mad at you."

Permalink

"And if it's a non-Daeran traitor?"

Permalink

"...Nenio?"

Permalink

"I'll look into them some more. But I bet you it's Areelu. Or Nocticula. Or -" Malyas, but that is a weird person to name if you're born in the 4600s. Some other powerful thing lost to time.

Marit? She says, about an hour later. I need a lantern, made of silver with panes of black crystal, at least eight inches tall and four inches wide. When convenient. If you can spare the extra hop you may want to swing by Mechitar next time you're out shopping, you're more likely to find one there than in Absalom and it will raise fewer eyebrows.

- noted. I'm very low on spells for today but I can probably get it tomorrow, I'm going to Absalom to get some books for our sudden historical research project. 

Permalink

Tomorrow's fine, I don't think it's urgent.

Marit does not totally trust Alfirin about whether she is okay so he makes sure he has the spells to swing by Mechitar after his shopping trip in Absalom, and find it for her.

 

(Being in Geb is shockingly upsetting. It's a very prosperous and tidy slave state full of Evil people.

It would be.)

He goes back to Drezen, and brings her a bag that mostly contains books and also contains that. "If you want to help us with our historical research in your downtime."
