Chapter Twelve

A hundred contorted faces howled at me, and I felt the cold embrace of ghostly arms. And then, suddenly: nothing.

The wraiths had disappeared, amid the sound of stone sliding on stone. The howls of Voros Korom receded in the distance. I saw now that a large section of the tower—where Voros Korom and Domokos had been standing—had disappeared.

I ran to the edge and looked down to see the hunk of stone disappear into the shadows of the canyon far below. Rodric, Vili and Ilona soon joined me.

“What happened?” Vili asked.

“Domokos fooled him,” I said. “Pulled him in close and then used his sorcery to break off a section of the tower.”

“He saved us,” Rodric said.

“Is Voros Korom dead?” Ilona asked.

I didn’t answer. For some time, we stared into the blackness, unable to discern anything. The wind gradually died and the moon passed behind the peak of a mountain, plunging Magas Komaron into darkness. At last I saw the flickering of ghostly lights far below. The wraiths remained, which could only mean that Voros Korom was still alive. For nearly an hour, the wraiths circled like vultures over a dying animal. Then they began to move slowly north, away from the mountain. We breathed a collective sigh of relief: it seemed that Voros Korom had had enough for tonight.

“Come,” I said. “Let’s get some sleep.”
