Antryg took her into the dungeon, sat her down in a corner with her flashlight, and drew a complex double-circle around her with the colored chalks that he carried in his pockets. (Most of their mutual laundry bore streaks and smudges of accidental pinks and greens). “This won’t take long,” he promised, and left Joanna to disturbing visions of what might happen if the evil Nemlyth and his dust-mages (What the hell IS a dust-mage?) showed up and carried off the whole company in the Fortress – warriors, wizards, Prince Arion and Commander Hesayn, cast and crew – and nobody ever came back for her…

How long should I wait?

What if Nemlyth and the dust-mages open a gate in the Void to drag everyone away and abominations show up here, as they did in the cars…?

What ARE we going to do about the cars anyway…?

No wonder Antryg has nightmares…

As near as she could estimate (she kept losing the thread of “The Raven” because of noises from the room at the end of the tunnel) it was a half-hour before she heard Antryg call softly to her, “Joanna?” Glancing automatically at her wrist, she saw that her watch had started again.

Started at 11:17, not the blinking 00:00 of a re-set.

The dead meppeth – the dead men and women who had been sent by House Kamog to kill the rightful heir to the Scepter, and those who had been killed fighting at their command – Ross Ventura among them – all those were gone. The only blood on the floor was the fake gore spilled so copiously in the rightful heir’s terrific battle with the minions of the Golden Scorpion.

Outside, it was dark, the overcast broken to show cold silver-blue moonlight, and a star-blanketed desert sky.
