Tara sat on the soft chair, and breathed slowly. The full force of the To’asaa’s memories had abated. She felt drained and exhilarated. A new strength welled up in her heart. The voice that had once whispered softly in her ear had taught her in the space of a few minutes everything that it knew. The wisdom seeped through her mind and melted seamlessly into what she had already known.

She opened her eyes. Eman and Hinun stood on the other side of the room talking to each other.

“You’re awake,” said Hinun. He walked over to her and handed her a mug of toffee colored liquid. “Here, drink this, it will help you feel better.”

Tara took a sip. The spicy, rich flavor warmed her very soul. It tasted like a warm winter morning around the fireplace.

Valeryn walked in with Kanu.

“Are you ready?” Eman asked.

“No!” Kanu said, “I don’t think this is a good idea. You know quite well that a Raewyn can see the unseen. It is too risky.”

“We have no choice.” Eman’s breath quickened, “We have to know what he’s planning this is the only chance we have.”

“Ask the Vaticinars!”

“You know that they can only see the big picture. We need details.”

“And you think Cythraul is just sitting around reciting his plan over and over again? At best, we can only be there a short time. We might hear a word here or there, but we are not going to be able to get the amount of detail you want.”

“We’ll take what ever we can get— a time, a place, anything. Cythraul has demonstrated more bravado than is justified, even for someone like him. He is planning something big. We have to be ready for it.”

“What about the risk? Forget for a moment the chance that we’ll be discovered. Do you understand what they could do to her if we’re caught. They could tear her apart, and what would that do to our cause then?”

“I am in the room,” said Tara, “Why don’t you ask me? From the sound of it, you are arguing over my fate. I have a say in it, don’t I?”

Eman sighed, “There is a technique that we can use to eavesdrop on Faroh and Cythraul. You have a connection with Faroh, and we can use that to allow you to see through his eyes. But if Cythraul catches you, he could shatter your mind. You would never be whole again. The chance of that happening is slim. The choice is yours.”

“I’ll do it,” said Tara, “I’ll take the risk.”

Eman pulled a chair in front of Tara, Kanu sat down facing her.

“I will allow you to see,” said Kanu, “All you have to do is concentrate on Faroh. I will take you to him. Now be careful. While we are linked, I will be able to see everything you see. If you get into trouble, just think of me and you will return here. Do you understand?”

“I think so. Will it hurt?”

“You may feel a little disoriented, but other than that you will be fine.
