Now, almost a week later, Daim wanted to speak with them. Nycoh hoped it might be about the staff, but she had no more idea than Jeen what Daim intended.

The sound of footsteps, sure and steady caused them both to look up. Daim, looking like a very fit Brice, stepped into the room, a small smile on his face. The pale blue eyes twinkled. The brown beard he was growing had filled in, matching the color of his thick hair. Youthful and healthy looking, it was sometimes hard to think of this man as a Master Wizard from the distant past, who had been quite old when he had died so many centuries before.

“We just might be able to do it,” he said without waiting for them to speak. He looked expectantly at the two young women who he’d come to realize were the strongest wizards in the community. They were also the most insightful. He had yet to meet this Rigo, but for now these two were the obvious choice to be in charge.

“The staff,” Jeen asked eagerly, meeting the eyes of the Master Wizard, and noting the coarse stick of hardwood the man carried. It didn’t look anything like the staff that Rigo had carried, except being roughly the same dimension.

Daim nodded. “I did a good job of recording what I wanted to do.”

Nycoh nodded. She had expected as much when she’d seen the journals. She also had realized they would have to rely upon Daim to personally sort through the books as they were written in some kind of personal code that Daim had created to protect his writings. Even Nycoh, with her experience from years of digging through texts with Ash’urn, hadn’t been able to make any sense out of the scribbling.

“I assume you brought that crude staff for a reason?” Nycoh asked.

Daim glanced at the piece of wood and nodded his head. “This will form the basis for the staff we will try and create.”

“We?” Jeen asked.

“Oh yes,” Daim replied. “This is no longer something I can attempt by myself. I am nowhere near powerful nor skilled enough. This Brice, whoever he was, was an adequate wizard, but nothing unique and none of you, yourselves included, have the raw ability required. You told me once before you have learned to Link. I am hoping the three of us Linked, will be able to do what none of us individually is capable of.”

“Both Jeen and I have the ability,” Nycoh confirmed.

“Good,” Daim responded. “Why don’t we give it a try?”

“You mean right now?” Jeen asked surprised.

“You indicated this was an urgent matter,” Daim said. “If we are going to know if this will work at all, we need to see what we can do. If the three of us are insufficient for the task, we will have to decided who else might bring ability and power into the link.”

“How will this work?” Nycoh asked. She was certain that Daim, who had the knowledge to form the staff would be the one in charge of the Link.
