ilvie stared in grotesque fascination at the striking beauty before her. She'd been separated from Johnis in the fog, and this woman had offered her something called eluweiss.

She had taken it. The last thing she remembered was falling into a deep sleep.

And now Johnis seemed spellbound by this same strange woman who floated in the desert.

The same woman from his visions.

The eyes-those incredible, dual-colored eyes-were stunning. No wonder he'd been so transfixed. She was gorgeous, this exotic goddess in gauzy, transparent clothing, with the delicate voice and glowing eyes.

Silvie forced her mind to refocus. The disease threatened her. This woman threatened her. This creature was seducing Johnis.

Her Johnis.

"Hear me," the goddess commanded.

Johnis's expression had changed. The desperate look had fled. But his face was not that of the Johnis she knew.

"Yes." His voice was deep. He played with something on his little finger. He turned it over, and with every turn his brow furrowed deeper, mouth drawn into a thin line.

A ring. A familiar silver ring.

His mother's ring. The tart had Rosa's ring. "Johnis ... ?"

Johnis remained transfixed. The look in his eyes was one Silvie had never seen. He'd never even afforded the Shataiki that kind of scorn before. That cold, vengeful hatred.

The woman withdrew a piece of yellow, rotten fruit, infested with maggots, and offered it to him.

Disgusting.

"Take this harach," the woman said. "Such is your means of enticing what shall be an army that cannot be thwarted and that will rid the Horde of all the albinos within days. An army you alone will command. But mind you, Johnis. This is merely the bait. Take such."

He scowled. "How is that bait?"

The woman smiled, amused at his ignorance. "What is detestable to some is tantalizing to others. Surely you remember the Shataiki."

"Pin yourself to a cactus," Silvie spat.

Johnis had heard the woman's voice in his head from over six hours away. And now she was before them. Changing him.

Johnis's menacing glare intensified. She'd seen that look before-from a throater right before a battle. This Johnis would count his bodies.

"I remember."

"Why don't you get away from my lover," Silvie warned. She brandished a knife.

But Johnis's now-visible woman only seemed amused. "The children of Tanis are indeed fascinating ..." The woman gave a musical laugh. "I do not believe such necessary."

"No. But that doesn't mean ..." Johnis trailed off.

"We wish to conquer Horde, do we not? The Dark Priest." A coy smile. "And what is this talon between their ribs? The thorn in their flesh?"

"What?" Johnis asked dumbly. He was struggling, Silvie could tell. The woman's power overwhelmed him. Consumed him.

"Him whom they despise more than anything else."

"Thomas."

"The Circle," she said. "If you were to solve this problem for the Horde, you would be greatest among all Horde."

"But he's not Horde!" Silvie said.

"No?"

Shaeda slid her arm around Johnis. Her hand stroked his neck. "We Leedhan have our own power, this much you can see. Feel. Yet, there remains another."

"And what is that?" Silvie protested. "By Elyon, Johnis, why are you listening-"

Multicolored eyes drank her.
