Cara and Berdine popped out from behind a row of bookshelves. The books were gone from the table.

Cara eyed Kahlan suspiciously. "You've been gone long enough." "It took me a while to find a way with shields I could pass." Berdine came out from behind the shelves. "Well? Did you find anything?" "Find anything? Like what?"

Berdine spread her hands. "Books. You went to look for books." "No. Nothing."

Cara was frowning. "Did you have any problems?"

"No. I'm just upset about all this . . . about everything. The plague and all. I'm upset that I couldn't find anything to help. What about you two?"

Berdine swiped a stray strand of hair back from her face. "Nothing. Nothing about the Temple of the Winds or the team who sent it away."

"I don't understand," Kahlan said, mostly to herself. "If there was a trial, as Kolo said, then there should be a record of it."

"Well," Berdine said, "we were looking through the other books to see if we missed any of the records of the trials. We didn't find any. Where else can we look?"

Kahlan sagged in disappointment. She had been sure they would find a record of the trial for Richard.

"Nowhere. If it isn't here, then there must be no record of the trial, or else it was destroyed. From what Kolo said, the Keep was in an uproar at the time; they may have been too busy to keep a record."

Berdine cocked her head. "But we're going to keep looking for part of the night, at least." Kahlan looked about the library. "No. It would be a waste of time. The time

would be better spent if you kept working on Kolo's journal. If we don't have the record of the trial, translating the journal would be the best help to Richard. Maybe you can find something important in the journal."

In the brightness of the library, Kahlan's resolve was beginning to falter. She began to reconsider her plan.

"Well," Cara said, "I guess we better get back, then. No telling what Nadine will be up to. If she gets into Lord Rahl's room, she'll get blisters kissing him while he's asleep and helpless."

Berdine pressed her lips tight and smacked Cara's shoulder. "What's the matter with you? The Mother Confessor is a sister of the Agiel."

Cara blinked in surprise. "Forgive me. I was only making a joke." She touched Kahlan's arm. "You know that I will kill Nadine if you wish-you have but to ask. Don't worry, Raina would not let Nadine into his room."

Kahlan wiped a tear from her cheek. "I know. It's just that with all that's going on-1 know."

Her mind was made up. It might help Richard find an answer. It might help Richard discover something that would stop the plague. Kahlan knew she was only making excuses to herself. She knew why she was going.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Raina asked as Kahlan, Cara, and Berdine approached.

"No," Kahlan said. "There was no record of the trial." "I'm sorry," Raina said.
