"Lady Tammar promised safety," called out one of the Councilors.

"Safety to cross the barrier and win fair judgment," the Golden Lady replied gravely. "This you have. Choose."

Nijihua giggled softly. "Naturally if this thing you promise be done, I would choose—intellectual freedom."

His throne was black, blacker than jet, for no ray, no sparkling returned from it, no faintest glint of light. It was the blackness of Barmak. Lord of Blackness and Lack, the Unmentioned Lord of Despair. He was robed in blackness, not black. He was blackness, having no face nor visible feature, only black form that was all essence of nothingness and annihilation. But from the blackness, a voice spoke, and from the utter night of this throne, Dread Barmak rose, towering tall, a hole of utter dark in the silver of All's flame, unillumined by even this flame.
