how did you know he can do this ?
who in the black spirits are you ?
it took a while to explain her ability and how shed come to discover it .
she left out that she and dardan were nobles , and everything about edon .
instead she said that they were from the west , and that she had been searching for other mages since she discovered her power .
she said mages could tell another mage just by looking , but didnt elaborate about the silver light .
orville and helen were too bewildered to ask for details .
she was elated to have found another mage to speak with .
if the walkers didnt panic and throw her out , that is , or denounce her as a witch to the magistrate .
she demonstrated her own power to them as well .
she blew out all the candles in the room , then lit them in rapid succession .
she boiled a cup of water , and charred a piece of roasted turnip .
the walkers , and even garen , watched in amazed silence .
the apprentice stared keenly at the silver beads she made .
all i want , she finished , is to spend some time with garen .
i think we can learn a great deal from each other .
it is as with any trade , or skill , i suppose .
one smith working alone can only grow in his craft so much , but two can learn from , and teach , one another .
and who knows ?
perhaps this ability will make garen a better smith .
she smiled warmly at him , and he blushed again .
dardan spoke , finally .
please forgive my wife .
she has a great deal of enthusiasm .
if you think it would be best if we simply left stony vale , never to return , then we will abide by that .
in such case , all we ask is that you do not tell anyone about amiras ability .
amira grew angry .
why was he encouraging the walkers to throw them out ?
if we did leave , she said quickly to garen , i can not guess what would become of you .
she hoped that he , and the walkers , would take the message : garen might be better off if they stayed .
even if the smith and his wife bore no love for amira and dardan , they clearly were fond of garen , and would hopefully see the value in him learning to control this new power better .
excuse us , orville said brusquely and stood up again .
he gestured toward the kitchen , and helen dutifully stood and followed him out .
amira could hear them speaking in low tones , but it would be impolite to eavesdrop .
instead she looked at garen .
they will make up their own minds about what is to be done with us .
what about you ?
garen shook his head .
hed become marginally less tongue-tied as the night went on .
i dont know , maam , he said .
smithing , forging , hammering .
thats what im for .
leave him be , dardan said .
hell have to think it through , same as you did .
the circumstances are different , she snapped .
therell be no ball here .
no prince edon to wreak havoc .
dardan just shrugged .
the walkers returned in a few minutes .
helen brought in lemon pie and served up slices , saying nothing .
orville seemed annoyed and declined his .
everyone else tucked in , and when their mouths were all full , orville spoke .
you can stay .
whatever this nonsense is , i figure its better if garen knows how to use it proper .
send a raw boy into a forge by himself and hell burn his hand off before the days out .
he glared at them all , especially garen .
but you two strangersll need to find your own lodgings .
and garens still got to work at the smithy like normal .
he can come train with you in the evenings , after dinner , wherever you end up staying .
or on my day off , garen proposed .
you still need to see your family , orville admonished him , then glanced at amira .
the boy stays here most nights .
his familys an hours walk out into the farms .
i could ride there with you on those days , amira said .
using the power accurately while on a moving horse is a challenge all its own .
i dont have a horse , garen said .
we have a spare , she said .
dardan was glaring at her now , but never mind him .
itd speed the journey , and it would be lovely to meet your family .
amira , dardan bit out through gritted teeth .
she sighed .
didnt he realize how important this was ?
its time for bed , orville announced suddenly , standing up .
ill show you two out .
amira was prepared to argue , but dardan stood up just as quickly and spoke over her .
thank you kindly for your hospitality , master smith , missus walker .
the pie was delicious .
he came quickly around to amiras side of the table and took her arm .
she barely had time to stutter out her own thanks before dardan dragged her out the door into the dark .
orville did not exactly slam it behind them , but it did clatter .
a quarter moon hung above the western horizon , barely augmenting the starlight .
amira shook off dardans arm .
what was that about ?
she demanded .
offering him a horse ?
to go visit his family ?
are you mad ?
she could barely make him out in the glow of hearthfires leaking through windows , but his posture was unmistakably threatening .
i told you to take this slowly !
have you never even heard of caution , woman ?
who knows where edon is now ?
she reminded him , bitterness leaking into her voice .
do you ?
i have to teach this boy , dardan .
to learn from him .
i will not lose him like i did in tyndam .
are you still upset over that ?
amira , its been weeks !
ive told you before , there was nothing you could have done .
she shoved her hand into her mouth to muffle her scream .
