At the end of a week of travel with stops to collect complaints, they drew closer to the peddler. Kalia noticed more black spots on her lines of fire. Should she tell Alric she had been infected? What would happen if she gave in to her desire to be in his arms? Would she infect him? She decided to isolate herself more completely from the others.

“We should catch up with the peddler within a day or two.” Alric sat beside her. “According to the map there’s a large village about that distance away.”

They had been on the road for seven days. “Then you’ll duel,” Kalia said.

He nodded. “It’s the way. What troubles you? You’ve grown so quiet.”

She stared at the ground. “I’m worried about my mother. She was with the Swordmaster when I left. I told you how faded her lines are when she returns. She insists she can’t do what she should in the right way because he’s not heart bound to her.”

He reached for her and she evaded him. “Does she love your father?”

“Yes and he believes he’s heart bound to a dead woman.” She closed her eyes. “There are things I should have told you but there hasn’t been a right time.” She leaned back and told him of Ilna’s meeting with Petan and his orders. “He knows how to enter the Hall through a secret entrance. I followed him once years ago.”

“When we return show this entrance to me and I’ll tell Sando.”

“There’s more.” Would he recoil with horror? “When I went for my clothes Ilna attacked me. Look at my lines.”

His expression made her want to cry.
