Chapter Sixteen.

When they disconnected from Kerryn's soul, Fenella fell into a deep sleep, only awakening when she smelled something delicious. Drowsily, she opened her eyes to find herself on a comfortable couch, in what seemed to be Nazryth's office.

"What happened?" she said, struggling to sit up, feeling a little bit foolish at taking a nap with Nazryth looking over her.

He just smiled. "You did it," he said. "You and Phineas. We weren't sure if you were going to be able, but then suddenly Kerryn opened her eyes."

"It was when we joined together," Fenella said. "When Phineas and I took each other’s hand."

"'When two halves of the whole combine, the weave of the spell will intertwine,'" Nazryth intoned. "We should have realized."

Fenella shrugged. "How could you?" she said. "You're all working as blindly as anyone on this."

He nodded. "What exactly happened when you and Phineas joined hands?"

Fenella struggled to remember. "It was like the malignancy just... died," she said. "One second it was there and squirming around and I was telling Phineas that we couldn't continue... then we joined hands and the malignancy just died."

Her stomach let out an audible rumble, and Fenella flushed while Nazryth chuckled.

"Sounds as if killing soul sickness might have made you hungry," he suggested, and Fenella nodded.

"It would appear so."

"Do you have the strength to stand up?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

He grinned again. "Because I had to carry you in here. Your limbs were like jelly and you couldn't string a sentence together. You fell asleep in less than a minute."

Fenella flushed again, both at Nazryth's amusement, and at the thought of being in such an intimate position with him. She stood up from the couch, testing her legs as she did.

"They feel fine."

"Good. Then if you want to go out through that door and to the right, our kitchen is right there, and I believe they are serving up a good, thick, squirrel and sorrel stew."

Fenella's mouth watered and with a nod of thanks, she left the room, knowing Nazryth's startling blue eyes were on her. The corridor to the right led to a large open room with lots of chairs and tables and at one she saw Phineas scooping stew into his mouth as fast as he could politely do so.

"How do I get some of that?" she said, pulling out the chair from opposite him, but she didn't have to wait - before she had even finished speaking a bowl of the fragrant food was dropped on the table in front of her, and she wasted no time tucking in. The stew was amazing - the squirrel cooked to soft perfection and the sorrel green and sharp, the other vegetables firm and soft. Fenella couldn't eat fast enough.

Phineas smiled at her, still scooping.

It was only minutes later that the two of them sat back, and Fenella said, "Is there more?"

Phineas looked around, but there was nobody bearing down on them with another two bowls. "Seems not," he said. "I think Nazryth and Maryse want to find out what actually happened in there.
