Stupid. I’d let them surround me. I took some comfort in knowing that my faith reserves weren’t depleting; that would let me hold this shield indefinitely while I tried to figure a way out. Thinking about that caused me to check my faith reserves out of habit, and my mouth went dry when I realized they were depleting. I slammed my palm into my forehead. I wasn’t outside normal time anymore; I wasn’t in my time, but time was flowing. I reached out to my followers. Listening to their prayers to me would refill my reserves.

Dead silence.

Oh, the Urisk were there, I could sense them over in their realm, the Bright Side, but they wouldn’t worship me for another few hundred years. I was a long way from panic, but I was a pretty good distance from calm, too. I let out a slow breath as I altered the shape of the shield, making it into an open-topped cylinder. That would use less faith while I worked this out. Another wight came from the hatch. This one strode upright like a man. Its clothing was impeccable, and it carried a copper sphere the size of a large coconut in its hands. When it came on deck, the other wights froze in place and bowed their heads to the deck.

“You have power,” the wight spoke. No, wait. The wight didn’t speak. The voice was coming from the sphere. “One such as you could be of tremendous benefit to my cause.” The wight handler adjusted the sphere so it faced several of the other wights directly. “Stand down.” My attackers skittered backward, still in the kneeling position. “You are in no danger while we parlay,” the voice said to me.
