Cirith caught her as she slumped back, holding her head from slamming into the wooden floor. The seal yielded, and the room quivered from the release. The candles dimmed, then erupted with larger flames.

When the room settled, Vilithian loosed a breath.

“I did not expect this.”

Cirith frowned and knelt by Ara, collecting her into his arms.

“Do not mention this to the others,” Cirith said. “We must learn what is within her before we venture forward.”

“We can’t examine the cause of that seal if she’s unconscious like this.”

“No.” Cirith nodded in agreement, then sighed. “I will take her back to her quarters and have Bieva and Misandreas watch over her. We will reconvene when she recovers.”

Vilithian slipped into his normal quiet with a nod. He, too, stood and followed as Cirith left the training chambers. They took Ara to the infirmary building where the guests’ quarters were, only speaking after they had deposited her with Bieva.

“We should discuss the infected mortal.”

“Yes.” Cirith stopped next to Vilithian in the keep’s foyer. “Let’s meet at dusk.”

They headed to the council’s quarters, but nodded goodbye at the stairs. Cirith disappeared into his quarters, a subsection of the wing that ventured up a spiraling tower. When the stairs emptied into his enclosed study, dusty and cluttered with tomes, he headed for a column of bookcases. Jammed into the shelves were off-limits texts, kept hidden from the general druidic public.

Cirith delved into those tomes, prose of ancient rites on transfiguration mixed with recounts about avatars of old.

It would be from here that he would find the answer to Rasilvanor’s cryptic insistence and possibly something of what happened with the princess.
