If you could make the wind drop...

It was worth a try. Kit paged quickly through his manual to the environmental management section and looked for the spells that involved short-term weather control. He found one that looked likely, started to recite it—And then stopped, shocked. Something that had accompanied every spell he'd ever done, that growing, listening silence—as the universe started to pay attention to the Speech used in its creation—was suddenly missing.

Blocked, Kit thought. But how?! Not even the Lone Power Itself should have been able to keep a wizardry from executing. Once executed, of course, it might fail, but—

Kit tried the spell again, and again got no result. Yet his force field was working fine. If it hadn't been, he and Ponch would both have been frozen solid by now.

"Weird," Kit said, closing the manual for the moment. "Looks like this environment's been instructed not to let itself be altered."

Could the Lone One have done that?

Kit shook his head. "I don't know."

Never mind, Ponch said. I don't need to see, to lead us. And as for the Lone One... Ponch's nose worked. It's distracted, Ponch said. And Darryl's moving. Come on.

Ponch pulled on the leash, and Kit followed him across the squeaking blue snow, while every now and then a new and ferocious gust of wind blue-whited everything out. "Snow tonight," a voice said from somewhere immeasurably distant.
