You were free to walk past death-wheels with your... You were free to walk past death-wheels with your fellow wizards rotting on them, and free to turn your back and continue on your wayNot anymore, Erlein di SenzioBy the Triad, you are in it now! You are in it as deep as any man in the Palm! Hear my first command: you are to use your magic to conceal your fingers exactly as before
"No," said Erlein flatly
Alessan said nothing moreDevin saw the Duke take a half-step towards the two of them and then stop himselfHe remembered that Sandre had not believed that this was possibleThey all saw, by the light of the stars and the fire Baerd had madeUnderstanding next to nothing, unnerved by almost all that was happening, Devin gradually became aware that a horrible
chanel necklace struggle was taking place within the wizardIt could be read in his rigid, straining stance and his gritted teeth, heard in the rasp and wheeze of his shortening breath, seen in tightly closed eyes and the suddenly clenched fingers at his sides
"No," Erlein gasped, once and then again and again, with more effort each time"No, no, no!" He dropped to his knees as if felled like a treeHis head bent slowly downwardHis shoulders hunched as if resisting some overmastering assaultThey began to shake with erratic spasmsHis whole body was trembling
"No," he said again in a high, cracked whisperHis hands spread open, pressing flat against the groundIn the red firelight his face was a mask of staring agonySweat poured

Devin looked away in pity and terror just before the wizard's scream ripped the night apartIn the same moment Catriana took two quick running steps and buried her head against Devin's shoulder
That cry of pain, the scream of a tormented animal, hung in the air between fire and stars for what seemed an appallingly long time

Without speaking Catriana straightened and released her grip on Devin's armHe glanced at her but she didn't meet his eyeHe turned back to the

Erlein was still on his knees before Alessan in the new spring grass by the riverbankHis body still shook, but with weeping nowWhen he lifted his head Devin could see the tracks of tears and sweat and the staining mud from his handsSlowly Erlein raised his left hand and stared at it as if it was something alien that didn't even belong to himThey all saw what had happened, or the illusion of what had happenedHe had cast the spell
An owl suddenly called, short and clear from north along the river, nearer to the treesDevin became aware of a change in the skyBlue Ilarion, waning back to a crescent, had risen in the eastGhostlight, Devin thought, and wished he hadn't

Alessan had not moved since giving his commandHe looked down on the wizard he had bound and said, quietly, "I did not enjoy that, but I suppose we needed to go through itOnce will be enough, I hopeShall we eat?"
He walked past Devin and the Duke and Catriana to where Baerd was waiting by the fireThe meat was already cookingCaught in a vortex of emotion, Devin saw the searching look Baerd gave AlessanHe turned back in time to see Sandre reaching out a hand to help Erlein rise
For a long moment Erlein ignored him, then, with a sigh, he grasped the Duke's forearm and pulled himself erect
Devin followed Catriana back toward the fireHe heard the two wizards coming after them
