With only Acretongue’s weight upon it, the platform slowed down, and hit the dust with a thud. Acretongue lumbered off, while all about them pones crashed down through the hairs like falling fruit.

The others looked up at Glurk’s face.

“You knew we wouldn’t crash!” said Pismire accusingly.

“Hoped,” said Glurk. “I wasn’t too sure, even after all Culaina said.”

“Who’s Culaina? Is he the she?” said Pismire. He was badly rattled. He was kind enough in his way, but knowing more than Glurk about almost everything was one of the few things he was sure he was good at. He wasn’t used to this.

Another pone bounced onto the dust beside them. They’re lighter than they look, he thought. Balloons with wings. No wonder they don’t like sharp objects . . .

“Culaina’s hard to describe,” said Glurk. “I think she’s a sort of wight.”

“A sort of wight?” said Pismire.

“You’ll have to ask her yourself,” said Glurk. “We’re going to see her now.” Acretongue’s head dipped, and he began to plod between the hairs.

“No, we’re not,” said Bane. “We must go to Ware!”

“Back to Jeopard, you mean!”

“Ware’s only a few days away. I have to tell them about this!”

“They might know already,” said Pismire glumly.

“They don’t,” said Glurk.

“How do you know?”

“We’re the only ones who know about the moul army,” said Glurk. “We’ll have to go to Ware to warn people. But first we’ve got to go back to talk to Culaina.”

“This wight? Why?” said Pismire.

“To tell her what we’ve seen,” said Glurk, smiling in a puzzled kind of way. He scratched his head. “So she can remember what we tell her now and tell me two days ago. When I met her.”

Brocando opened his mouth, but Pismire waved him into silence.

“Wights remember the future as well as the past,” he said. “But . . . look, they never tell anyone, Glurk.”

“This one does,” said Glurk. “Don’t look at me like that. You think I could make this sort of thing up?”
