A memory flashed in Olligh's mind. He remembered sitting in a dark room with a log fire burning by his side. The smell of wild cherry wood, and the gentle crackling sound as it burned, felt familiar and comforting. Outside, the rain pelted savagely against the building but he didn't mind. If anything, it helped to relax his mind, allowing him to concentrate on his task at hand. As he gazed at the dancing flames, someone tapped his shoulder.

"You not done yet, Olligh?" a man asked gruffly. "I don't have all day to wait around for the dead to speak."

"They'll speak when they're ready. Don't worry, I'll find out what you need to know."

"You've been here for hours. I don't understand how you've got the patience to sit here with only a skeletal hand for company."

"It's either that or we go outside in the dead of night to try and find the rest of his remains. At least we won't get soaked here. Besides, this hand makes for an ideal back scratcher."

"Hrmph. Rather you than me."

Olligh chuckled. "You don't understand and most probably never will. A mage without patience is like a storm without lightning."

At those words, sparks spat out from the fire and the flames soared brightly. A haunting, rasping voice resounded around the inside of the cottage.

"Ultrimm Alley! Ultrimm Alley!"

They both peered over at the cottage window and discovered the dead man they sought, his face pressed against the glass.

"And there's your answer," Olligh said with a smile.
