said that Mertyn would stay； would not return to the Schooltown； so I thought the matter might well be discussed with them both。 〃Ah； you see；〃 said Himaggery to my thalan。 〃It is precisely as Windlow said。〃 Then； turning to me； 〃Windlow told me you would e into this very room and say that very thing； Peter。 He did not know when it would be。 Ah。 Ah…but his vision was wrong in one thing。 He thought he would be here； too。 Tshah。 I shall miss him。〃
〃As I will； also。〃 I said。 Oh； Windlow； I thought； why did you not simply tell me before I left the Bright Demesne！ If you saw the threat； knew the danger； why didn't you tell me。
But there was no answer to that。 He rested softly in my mind and did not answer though he was present； as he had foreseen。 So I asked the question of Himaggery again； and this time he told me； yes； he would accept my help with great pleasure。 It was precisely as I thought； of course。 We were to locate the Council。 We were to bring the blues to the Bright Demesne。 We were to find a way to reunite the body and spirit of ten thousand Gamesmen。 We were to pursue Justice； for Windlow had desired that。 We were； in short； to do enough things to take a lifetime or two； most of them plicated； some of them dangerous； all of them exciting。
And； I had an agenda of my own。 Huld； for example； who had called Necromancer Nine on me； Huld who did not know that he had been right。 He had called Necromancer Nine on the young Necromancer； Peter； it was his intention that Peter die； and that Peter had died indeed。 I did not quite know who the Peter who survived would be； but he would not be Dorn； or Didir； or Trandilar。
So I smiled on Himaggery and offered him my hand。 Time alone and the Seers knew what would e next。 Highest risk； Necromancer Nine。 I was not afraid。
