Fordaean knots if you willare you familiar with Fordaean knots Never mind. This spell has both. The traps might be unraveled. But the core weave will have to be broken most carefully. Even if I could do it myself, it would probably leave you with some permanent mental damage. Nnn ga. What Oh. Sister Ariel stayed seated cross-legged and murmured. The bonds fell from Vis face. She spat out the handkerchiefit /had/ been wrapped around a rock, the bitch!and breathed. She didnt grab her Talent. Not yet. The rest she asked, gesturing to her other bonds. Mm. Sorry. Its a little hard to talk to you lying on my side. Fair enough. /Loovaeos./ Vis body was pulled upright and scooted backward to a tree. So thats your bait A bluff about some spell on me that we wont be able to take off until we get to the Chantrywhere it just so happens it will be impossible for me to escape Thats it. Vi pursed her lips. Was it her imagination, or was there a slight glow around Ariel Thats pretty good bait, she admitted. Better than we offer most girls. You always kidnap girls Like I already said, this is my first time. It doesnt usually come down to kidnapping. The sisters who do the recruiting have lots of ways to be persuasive. I was deemed too tactless for such work. Big surprise. Whats the usual bait Vi asked. Just to be like the recruiters, who tend to be beautiful, charming, respected, andnot leastalways get their own way. And the hook is Vi asked. Oh, were continuing the fishing metaphor What Vi asked. Never mind. The hook is servitude and tutelage. Its like an apprenticeship, seven to ten years of service before you become a full Sister. Then youre free. Vi had had enough of apprenticeship to last her for ten lives. She sneered. /Keep her talking. I might as well learn what I can./ You said Im not really a wetboy. I do all the wetboy stuff. Have trouble with the Embrace of Darkness, dont you What Invisibility. You cant do it, can you How did she know that Thats just a legend. It drives up prices. No one goes invisible. I can see youre going to spend a lot of time unlearning things you think you know. True wetboys can go invisible. But mages dont do invisibility. Your Talent has to practically live in your skin. Invisibility requires a total body awareness so profound that it extends to feeling how light is touching every part of your skin. What you are is something differentin fact, something forbidden by a treaty a hundred and thirtyummthirty-eight years old. The Alitaerans would be shall we say highly overwrought if wed trained you this way. You see, if you mastered a few more things, youd be a warmage. Oh, youre going to cause the Speaker a few headaches, I can see that already. Fuck you, Vi said. Sister Ariel leaned over and slapped her.
