Everything was a magnificent whirlwind, a cacophony of sensory pleasures.

"Much has occurred in five years, Johnis. The Forest Dwellers split; most became Horde and remained in Middle as you've seen it. Others became outlaws called albinos for their smooth skin. The Circle."

A split. Their forces split. Of course, there had been enough controversy when Johnis was last in Middle that this now made horrific sense. The council had been in upheaval, the leaders divided on how to address the matter of the Horde.

"Thomas became one of the outlaws," Shaeda said.

An invisible presence slid around Johnis's shoulders. Her spirit, the seat of her powers. Heady, bubbling to the surface. The dam was creaking. Small rivulets of water now broke through. The impending breach was near.

"In the end, Middle collapsed on itself," Shaeda said. "The outlaws raided the village and destroyed it."

Hate and bitterness clamped down and smashed through the dam walls. Something deep inside him fought for reason.

Johnis withdrew from her. "You could be lying."

"Regrettably, I am not."

Johnis glared at the silver ring and knotted his fists, heat rising in his chest. "Thomas would never do that."

From beneath the fog, Silvie moaned and sat up. "What's going ... ?"

He helped Silvie up. "It's the Horde I despise," he said.

"Johnis, yield but a moment longer. Yield. Listen. There is more.

"Then tell me!"

"Patience." Shaeda fixed him with a gaze, and once more he could not move. He stood fidgeting. "Patience. It is not only for the books that you were chosen, Johnis of Ramos."

"What, then?" he growled, angry at his inability to tear himself away from this woman whom he suddenly desired more than anything.

Shaeda glided over the sand. "It is truth that restrains you, and such truth alone. Your eyes are open now, and you see clearly."

"Johnis ... ?" Silvie trailed off.

Why was he so resistant?

He'd followed his heart.

She was here.

"In my half of the world, I possess all authority and power, my Chosen One." Shaeda placed her hand over his heart, palm spread wide. Her long fingers covered most of his torso.

No, no need to resist.

His heart would always lead him.

"Half the world is mine, Johnis. Consider this."

"I'm listening."

"Half the world is mine, and more power is at my disposal than the mere appearance of food and drink, fog and mist, pools and sleep. This much you have already witnessed."

Johnis clenched his jaw.

"Make alliance with me. Aid me in but one task-one simple task of monumental reach-and I will grant you my strength, my power, and my authority. You will inherit a vast and glorious land that your dreams could never fathom."

"Why would I want that?"

"We aren't interested in turning." Silvie had found her mouth and now spoke from directly behind Johnis. "Our minds will go."

"Why do you doubt, little female? My ways will prevent any such ... deceptions." Shaeda returned her attention to Johnis. "Your mission will require you to forgo the bathing ritual a little longer. You also require clarity, vision, and single purpose."

She offered him the badaii in her hand.
