“No,” said Nakor, his features softening. He put his hand on Magnus’s arm, and added, “That harsh lesson was of your own devising. Life is like that sometimes.” Then he turned his attention back to the three boys as the new race began, with Demetrius and Talon riding with all the skill they could muster, while Rondar shouted insults at both of them.

When Nakor looked back at Magnus, he found the magician lost in thought. Having some idea of where those thoughts led, Nakor said, “You should have found another, Magnus.’’

Magnus looked down at his former teacher. “Some wounds never heal. You just bind them up and go on with life.’’

Nakor nodded. “I know, Magnus.’’

Magnus smiled. He knew that Nakor understood, for he had once been wed to Magnus’s grandmother and had loved her up to the very moment he had been forced to kill her.

Magnus took a deep breath. “Very well. When shall we start?’’

“Might as well be tonight,” said Nakor.

Magnus started walking. “Then I had better go and tell the girl.’’

Nakor called after him: “Just tell her what to do. She’ll know exactly how to do it.’’

When he turned back, it was in time to see Talon finish slightly ahead of Demetrius, both boys exulting loudly as they reined in before Rondar. Nakor reflected that youth often understood without having to be taught about seizing the joy of the moment, about not thinking too much of tomorrow and the worries and concerns it would bring, or too much about yesterday, with all its regrets and guilt. Softly, Nakor said, “Enjoy this moment, Talon. Savor it.’’
