“Has Hong Tray foreseen that as well?”

“No.”

I was surprised by the black despair that collapsed upon me.

“She has seen nothing one way or the other.”

I brightened. A very little.

“I am reluctant to undertake such an obligation,” Ky Dam confessed. “It was not my idea. It was Sahra’s.” He indicated the beautiful tea server. “But she trusts you for no reason she will explain and, moreover, her arguments make sense.”

Hong Tray wore a bemused expression. There was, in the way she looked at me, a

hint that she foresaw much that she did not share.

I shivered.

Ky Dam continued, “We have no hope if we assume a traditional Nyueng Bao stance and depend upon ourselves alone. You have little hope if your Mogaba does not

feel he needs your arms anymore.”

I stared at the beautiful one, though that was bad manners. She blushed. The

attraction was so powerful, suddenly, that I gasped. I felt as though I had

known her several lifetimes already.

What the . . . ? This did not happen to me. Not anymore, anyway. I was no

sixteen-year-old . . . Hell, I never felt like this when I was sixteen.

My soul was trying to tell me I knew this woman as well as a man ever knew any

woman when, in truth, I had only just heard her name spoken for the first time.

There was something else over there, with her. That was more than one lovely

daydream. I knew another one just like her, somewhere else . . .

The darkness came.

It was sudden and absolute and I had no time to decide if I was running away or being pulled down.
