//Wulfston? You can Read?!//
//Yes! Where are you?//
//Five days' journey from you. I must be very careful, for I am guarded by
Seers. They think I've fallen asleep in my chair, out of boredom.//
//Are you out of body?//
//No. That I dare not attempt. The Seers were instructed by Norgu in my
presence that if they found my body unoccupied at any time, they were to move
it. I don't think you know //
//I've been around Readers enough to have an idea,// Wulfston told him with a
shudder.
Tadisha could no longer contain her astonishment. //Lord
Lenardo, you are Seeing from Norgu's castle without leaving your body?//
//Yes, Lady Tadisha and I am trusting you not to betray me. Because I dared
not leave my body, the only way I had to find Wulfston was to follow Norgu.//
//But five days' journey //
//Lenardo is the best Reader in the Savage Empire,// Wulfston told Tadisha
impatiently. //Lenardo, I've been a prisoner here, but they've stopped
drugging me. I think my powers will be back to normal soon.//
//Norgu hasn't drugged me at all,// Lenardo told him. //It took nearly three
days free of Sukuru's potions before I felt completely myself. I'm well, but
so far I've found no way to evade the Seers Norgu has surrounding me.//
//I'll come to you,// Wulfston offered.
//Not alone,// Lenardo warned. //Norgu has powers.//
//He's just a boy,// Wulfston protested. //I am a Lord Adept at the full
strength of my powers.//
//I do not know the strength of your powers,// Tadisha put in, //but never has
one so young as Norgu shown such power in Africa. And his army has many Seers
and Movers, fully loyal to him they will combine their powers against you,

Lord Wulfston, if you attack.//
//If Lenardo can't escape, and I can't go to his rescue, then how am I to free
him?//
//I have an idea,// said Tadisha. //Lord Wulfston, neither you nor the
Savishnon are the primary reason the Assembly gathered here. It was Norgu's
demand that we capture you for him as if he ruled us all.
The Karili fear what Norgu may be in a few years. Now, while he is still
young, we must thwart his domination.//
//Trust her,// said Lenardo. //Tadisha is telling the truth. I will contact
you again tomorrow, but I dare not remain in communication for long, lest the
Seers guarding me discover it.//
And Lenardos presence was_gone.
Tadisha still held Wulfston's hand. Now she gave it a tug. "Come back to the
Assembly. They are arguing about what we should do now that we have three
enemies."
"Three?"
"The Savishnon first. We must complete our defenses," she said with a gesture
at the newly heightened walls, "for there is now no doubt of their attack.
When I left, Mother was proposing riding out to meet them, trying to keep
their destruction clear of our towns and villages.
"Second, Z'Nelia& perhaps. Until recently she kept to herself. We thought that
whatever powers she had were destroyed or weakened in the battle that produced
the Dead Lands. Then, a few months ago, her armies took the lands to the west
of hers, on the other side of Norgu's. Now we learn that she can control a
volcano, or raise a storm from across the continent. If she attacked you, why
should she not attack anyone else who appears to be a threat to her?"
"Why would she perceive the Karili as a threat?" Wulfston asked. "Sukuru
forced me to come to Africa specifically to battle Z'Nelia, so I must appear a
genuine menace."
"Especially now that she has Seen you," Tadisha agreed.
"What do you mean?"
"You are Zionae," replied the Karili princess.
"I don't know what tribe my ancestors came from," Wulfston said, "but yes, I
see resemblances in the few Zionae I've either met or Read Seen."
"So if you defeated Z'Nelia, her people would be more likely to accept your
right to rule them than the right of a foreigner."
"I
am a foreigner. I have my own lands to rule, far from here," Wulfston told her
as he had told Sukuru.
"I don't want the lands of the Zionae."
"Perhaps you have come to take possession of the Warimu."
"The Warimu? Norgu's people?"
"Norgu is not Warimu, nor was his father."
"More Zionae," Wulfston realized. "Well, that makes sense. With Z'Nelia ruling [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
