Chapter 13

Jhond moved forward to catch Ninian, as it looked as if he might collapse. "Are you all right?"

Eyes sparkling with interest, Remelin asked, "What did you see?"

Jhond glared at her, annoyed at her lack of concern. "Give him time to recover." Jhond helped Ninian to a chair so he could sit.

"It's fine." Ninian gave a lopsided smile. "I'm in one piece, though I'm not sure all the various parts fit correctly."

Confused, Remelin asked, "What does that mean?"

Ignoring her, Jhond poured Ninian glass of wine, pushing it toward him. "Here, have a drink."

Ninian murmured his thanks and took a gulp. He sighed and sat back in the chair. Remelin was hovering by his shoulder.

Ninian glanced from one to the other, his gaze settling on Jhond as he sat opposite. Taking the hint, Remelin sat, too.

"It was very unsettling," Ninian began. "I think a lot of it was similar to your description of handling the crystal, Jhond. The cold, except for my hand, which felt as if it was on fire, the overwhelming noise, the sensations. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. Then everything stilled, and an image began to form. It was of the two of you"--he dropped his head as if he didn't want to see them--"and you seemed to be arguing."

Jhond was about to ask for more detail when Remelin spoke up. "What about?"

"I don't know," Ninian said, looking up then. "I could see you both clearly, could tell from your expressions that you were in disagreement about something, but I couldn't hear anything at first. Not until the very end when Remelin stormed out of sight."

Remelin looked puzzled and was about to speak again, when Jhond asked, "What did you hear?"

Ninian sighed, and Jhond knew he wasn't happy to reveal whatever it was he'd heard, but it was too late to take back his query now. Remelin was nothing if not eminently curious, and she wouldn't take it well if she knew they excluded her.

"I only heard the end of the conversation," Ninian admitted. "Remelin said you were wrong and she'd prove it to you. She also said you weren't as powerful as you believe." He glanced at Remelin as he added, "Then she said, and I quote: 'It has given me the power I deserve!'"

"It? What?" Remelin asked, appearing more confused than disturbed by what she had heard.

Ninian ignored her and continued, "Jhond asked you to stop, asking that you trust him. He called out to you, sounding desperate, but you walked out of view."

"Could you tell where we were?" Jhond asked.

Ninian frowned, and Jhond guessed he was trying to recall the scene. "No. The vision concentrated on the two of you. The surroundings weren't clear."

"Was that all?" Jhond asked quietly.

"Yes."

"But what does it mean? What is this it I was talking about and what does Jhond want to stop me from doing?" Remelin pressed. "When is this? Where? The cellar? Here?"

Ninian licked suddenly dry lips. Why wouldn't she understand he could
