Meeting Dreiza outside the tent where Kassalya rested, Yevliesza asked, “How is she?”

“It is bad now,” Dreiza said. “She has waking nightmares and cries out in her sleep.” She shook her head. “She does not sleep without a potion.”

“But she’s sleeping now?” It was midday.

“She must rest, but she does wish to talk to you. Later, perhaps.”

“What will happen to her?” Yevliesza asked. Dreiza also had the gift of foreknowing, but it was a small power. She wondered if Kassalya would always see the troubling things. The terrible things of the world.

“My gift does not foretell,” Dreiza said. “But since the world is a terror to her, she will live her days at Zolvina.” She smiled. “Our youngest satvar.”

“But you do not see me at Zolvina,” Yevliesza said, fairly certain it was true, but wondering what would become of her if Volkia was defeated. Sometimes she thought she might return to the Agarvesky Forest and stay with Isha. If Valenty came back to her, then she would go with him. She still hoped for him, if they both survived what was coming.

She shoved such thoughts aside. Every time she allowed them, her heart fell into shadow.

Dreiza looked at her fondly. “Alas, I do not see you at Zolvina. Perhaps someday you will come and take my place.”

How strange, Yevliesza thought, to see herself as an elder. She could barely imagine tomorrow, much less decades from then.

She broached the thing she had come to say. “It troubles me that Kassalya is given potions.”

“Well. Lord Kirady has said to keep her calm. So as not to let her upset you.”

“Kirady is leaving. He’s taking all the new arrivals to Anastyna. So we can decide.”

“I have not liked it, either.” Yevliesza saw Dreiza’s conviction form. “Very well,” Dreiza said, “no more potions. If her spells will not upset you?”

“Everyone is already upset,” Yevliesza said, looking around at the camp with its tents and makeshift shelters and people soberly going through their day. “I don’t see how any of us can fear what she says. We’re already afraid.”
