　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。
