“So what do you want to do now?” Jac asked lounging on the large cushions that counted for chairs. Kellim did not answer but continued pacing the small room given to them. Both Jac and Bryn recognised the signs that Kellim was ready to move on.

“I say we go after Naicarn,” Bryn suggested. “The others are safe enough for now.”

Kellim was about to own up to his earlier decisions and plans when a knock sounded at the door. Jac answered it and invited Maga in.

“You have news?” Kellim said concerned by Maga’s expression.

“The Orders at Naddier and Amar are being attacked,” all three started. She held up her hands to block any questions. “As well as the previous explosions at Amar there has been further destruction. The Academy at Naddier, the Adepts Complex and The Royal Palace in Amar are being attacked simultaneously. May I?” Maga gestured at the bed, Jac nodded. She sat aware of the questions the men were framing in their thoughts. “I should say first that the people you care about are all safe and well for the time being.”

“That at least we can be thankful for,” Kellim said with relief.

“So what’s happening?” Jac asked impatiently.

“Many powder weapons like those used on the ships in Amar have destroyed much of the main academy buildings at Naddier while at the same time The Second of The Three has attacked your own Adepts’ Buildings. Segat is responsible for the powder attacks but I am unable to see who directs The Second of The Three.”

“Was he after Jenna?” Bryn asked. Maga nodded.

“Your people there seem to think so. The Second of The Three is dead,” Maga was unable to hide the regret in her voice. “Thankfully he has failed in his attempt to reach her. However, she is now unsure of her safety. And I would be inclined to agree. The rest of The Wandering Children who chose not to join us here may attempt to reach her. Their minds are still closed to me and so we must assume that whoever is manipulating them is still in control.”

Kellim turned to Bryn and Jac. “I’d feel a lot happier if both of you were with Jenna. The luxury of waiting out the snow is one we can’t afford for much longer. It would seem the college is short staffed and not as well protected as I’d hoped. If there is a possibility of more attacks we may be forced to reconsider where the best place is for Jenna, especially if she’s having second thoughts herself. I wouldn’t want them to try anything rash on their own.”

“Durnin’s there surely he’ll keep an eye on them,” Bryn commented.

“Durnin has enough to worry about and young people have minds of their own. With the two of you there we have more options. It may be that another place of safety will have to be sought and she will have a far better chance of getting there with you.”

“You’re thinking Meg’s aren’t you?” Jac asked.
