thirty.

The vivid images of that past disaster faded. Stulwig sank back and down onto

the sheep fur. Covered himself. Listened in the continuing dark to the sound of

wind against a corner of his greenhouse. It was a strong wind; he could feel the

bedroom tremble. Moments later, he was still awake when he heard a faraway

muffled cry - someone being murdered out there in the Maze?

Oddly, that was the final steadying thought. It brought his inner world into balance with the outer reality. After all, this was Sanctuary where, every hour of each night, a life ended violently like a candle snuffed out.

At this time of early, early morning he could think of no purpose that he could

have about anything. Not with those dark, dirty, dusty, windblown streets.

Nor

in relation to the sad dream that had brought him to shocked awareness.

Nothing

for him to do, actually, but turn over, andHe woke with a start. It was daylight. And someone was knocking at his outer

door two rooms away.

'One moment!' he called out.

Naturally, it required several moments. A few to tumble out of his night robe.

And even more to slip into the tunic, healer's gown, and slippers. Then he was

hurrying through the bright sunlight of the greenhouse. And on into the dimness

of the hallway beyond, with its solid door. Solid, that was, except for the vent at mouth level. Stulwig placed his lips at his end of the slanted vent, and asked,

'Who is it?'

The answering voice was that of a woman. 'It's me. Illyra. Alone.'

The seeress! Stulwig's heart quickened. His instant hope: another chance for her

favours. And alone - that was a strange admission this early in the morning.
