"Rather pretty," she said, stopping behind him.

"Yes, it is," he said noncommittally.

"I keep wondering if we will ever get back there."

"We will. I feel it, here." Sturm tapped his chest. "And it i,

confirmed by these visions of mine. They seem to show the

future."

Kitiara managed a mildly crooked grin. "You didn't hap

pen to see me on Krynn while you were perusing the future,

did you? I'd like to know that I'll make it back, too."

Sturm tried to summon up an image of Kit from his mem-

ory. All he got for his effort was a stabbing pain in the chest.

He coughed and said, "I'm worried, Kit. Are we right to deal

with this dragon? The gods and heroes of ancient times were

wise - they knew men and dragons could not coexist. That's

why the beasts were killed or banished."

Chill forgotten, Kitiara planted a foot in the rising bank

of red soil. "You surprise me," she said. "You, who are edu-

cated and tolerant of most creatures, advocating hatred for

all dragons, even one of good lineage, like Cupelix."

"I'm not advocating hatred. I just don't trust him. He

wants something from us."

"Should he help us for nothing?"

Sturm tugged fitfully at the ends of his mustache. "You

just don't see, Kit. Anyone with power, be he dragon, gob-

lin, gnome or human, is not going to relinquish that power

merely to help others. That's the evil of power, and anyone

or anything who has it is tainted by it."

'You're wrong!" she said with verve. "Wrong! A cruel

man is cruel no matter what his station in life; but many

dragons skilled in magic were aligned with good. It is the

heart and soul that are the seats of good or evil. Power is

something else. To have power is to live. To lose it is to exist

as something less than you are."

He listened to this short tirade in mute astonishment.

Where was the Kit he once knew, the fun-loving, passionate

woman who could laugh at danger? The Kit who carried

herself with the pride of a queen, even when she had only a

few coppers in her pocket?

"Where is she?" he said aloud. Kitiara asked him what he

meant. "The Kit I knew in Solace. The good companion.
