In Shadow Garamoth. Arun: A hamster-sized cloak of invisibility to hide him A hamster skull for his Trump The Assistant is sent to collate a file on Garamoth. Coruscating coastlines. Comets of desire. We depart. We sail through the air. We are joined by others! Etienne knows them Eric Half-Hand In Shadow Belanoth. Belanoth A place of no magic. We descend. Almost none. The assistant struggles to live. The armour survives. I must empower the Shadowblade with Trump. Arun makes fish. I begin a Trump of Jhyx. A bone mask. Bored. Try a divination: "What happened to Gerard?" Appearing: The missing people. A great power in opposition. Many times. The tower. In the centre. Around the edges - the solution - us. But not Etienne. She appears behind the power. The mover. Now they turn on Etienne... Caitlin repeats: "Where is Gerard?" They are distrustful of my reading, I think In the hands of a great power. Dead. With the other missing. Having a bad time. All this at once. One would have thought dead was sufficient an answer. "How can we save Connor and Nemain?" Yes they can be saved. Death. I have a bad feeling about this. They are dead, yet they can be saved? And we can also die? We should go from shadow to shadow and kill everything we meet - Caitlin's answer. God God Why? What does god have against us? We are a threat to it. It protects itself. I understand. A little bloodlust to sate, but these shadow dwellers offer little sport. But no, I am wrong. These soldiers are the best I have fought. And the strongest. Is this god's doing? I still have a bad feeling about god! S a t e d . . . But god seems to be listening. Etienne suggests I stop taunting god. But god is taunting me. I am truly frightened by this thing. I have faced nothing like it. In this world, I have no sorcery to defend myself. Even if I did, I have not the first concept of how to do so, other than ward off whatever blows it rains upon me. I cannot find it, I cannot identify it, I know nothing about it, how can I take the fight to it? Etienne talks already of 'embracing' it and 'appeasing' it. Already the words of defeat spring from her. No! I will not tolerate this! IT MUST DIE! In Amber. So this bloated corpse is your Gerard. And this your Lillian. I have their Trumps now. I must warn the Precursor. They have a god? Here? In Amber? At least their Queen speaks clearly the words of revenge. I will warn the Precursor. God is already there. In Asiyta. I will have them EXTERMINATED! THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! The Precursor is instructed to destroy them utterly. I will see to it myself if needs be. Lillian's deck is most interesting. Trumps of many places, and other cards, too. Magical ones. Caitlin warns of the wolves, their danger. I wonder, can we find the centre of the infection by mapping the disease? It vexes me that the one person who would be most useful, who most understands this thing, who most has the powers, I think, to confront it, prevent it, destroy it, is the one person who is... hardest, shall we say, to trust. For 15 years this has been happening. How it grows! Could their spirits live on? An afterlife? In heaven? Hell? |
