Armandra's beautiful face was drawn, strained. As she passed close to me she held up a trembling hand and turned my way. 'What is your name, man of the Motherworld?'

`Hank,' I told her. 'Hank Silberhutte.'

'And it was you that -?'

I nodded. 'Yes.'

She leaned toward me, searching my face. 'At the end there - what was it that came to sting my mind, burning Ithaqua and making him release me?'

Was it this?' Tracy asked, holding up one of the five-pointed star-stones from her neck, where the fur of her jacket had kept it and its twin hidden. 'When you cried out, Hank, when you shouted to Armandra that she must fight her father, I sort of instinctively held the stone up before your eyes. Then you leaped up and fell to the floor, and Armandra almost toppled from her throne.'

Tracy stopped talking, gazed nervously about as the elders all around her stepped quickly back, away from the star-stone sigil, and I stepped back with them. Armandra's eyes grew huge and round. She pointed a trembling hand at the powerful symbol of old gods spinning at the end of the chain Tracy held. Then she fell back weakly, leaning on Oontawa.

The group of elders, ten of them, now clustered closer, and one of them stretched out a finger before I could offer a warning. Briefly he touched the star-stone - and instantly snatched his finger back, the skin of its tip scorched and blackened. For a moment anguish showed on his face, then he turned to his colleagues.

`The stone is genuine - and yet,' he stared fascinated at Tracy, 'the girl is unhurt!'
