“When I woke again I found that Jarred and Anna no longer feared me,” Barda went on. “While I was unconscious I had rambled aloud of my grief and fear, so they knew who I was and well understood the danger that threatened me. They knew I was a friend.”

“So we did,” murmured Lief’s mother. She turned to Lief. “We told Barda who our visitors had been. We asked for his help in seeking the lost gems of Deltora when the time came.”

Barda frowned grimly. “I agreed willingly. I had already decided that I would do anything to overthrow the Shadow Lord, and avenge my mother’s death.”

“It — it is incredible!” Lief spluttered. “All this time you …”

Barda shrugged. “All this time I have been safe, hidden in my beggar’s disguise. Jarred and Anna have given me food and shelter, and helped me to play my part without too much suffering. In return, I have watched over you since you were ten years old —”

“Watched over me?” Lief gasped.

“Oh, yes,” drawled Barda. “After your father was injured I said that I would go alone on the quest for the gems, when the time came. But Jarred and Anna — felt differently. They believed that you should be given the chance to fulfil your father’s pledge.”
