."You've got to be joking.Harrier didn't need to see Tiercel's face to know he was as stunned as Harrierwas.You didn't need to be a Wildmage to know that this was crazy talk.Anybody who'd ever gone toLight-Day services knew it."No," Tiercel said urgently."Zanattar, you have to listen to me.The Light sent me here because "He didn't get a chance to finish.Harrier saw Zanattar reach for his sword, and he cried out and spurredhis horse forward, reaching back to draw his swords, and Tiercel raised his hands, and a wall of purplelight appeared between him and the Isvaieni army.Fortunately Harrier hadn't drawn his swords before Tiercel cast MageShield, because the suddenappearance of the glowing wall of light made his mount plunge and rear, and he needed both hands tocontrol it.Tiercel was having the same problem.It took the two of them several minutes to calm the animals.The horses would have been happy to simplybolt, but in one direction there was the wall of Mageshield, and in the other there was the wall of the city.Frankly, Harrier would have been happy to simply get off and walk, if his mount would cooperate byholding still for long enough.When it finally did, he looked up to see that the wall of MageShield extended as far as he could see.Helooked up.It went as high as he could see, too, arcing over the city."Tiercel?" he said."The Light sent me here because there's Darkness somewhere out there in the desert," Tiercel saidquietly.After a moment, Harrier realized he was finishing the sentence Zanattar hadn't let him say."You've cast MageShield all around the city," Harrier said."I had to," Tiercel said."Anything less, and they'd just have come around it."Like the flames of a fire, the shield wasn't quite opaque.Through the barrier, Harrier couldsee dimly the Isvaieni army.They weren't approaching closely in fact, they'd retreated but theywere spreading out all along the front of it in an ominous mass.MageShield didn't block sound at all.He could hear the sounds of shouting, voices mingled and blendinguntil the only thing he could really make out was that they were all angry.It was a bone-chilling sound."We need to get back inside," Harrier said.If they'll let us in.He turned his sweating, trembling mountand forced himself to look up at the city walls.The entire wall above them was crowded with bodies.Everyone looking down at them was white-faced and silent, but Harrier could already hear the sound ofscreams and wailing from within the city."WHO told him that, do you think?" Tiercel asked."About the Light, and the Balance?" They were ridingslowly back toward the gate, and Tiercel sounded as if he'd suddenly decided that knowing the source ofZanattar's ravings was of vital importance. The wall of MageShield fire gave everything an eerie brightness far brighter than even the full moon,bright enough to cast their shadows on the wall beside them, dark purple against bright purple.In thisstrange light bright yet unclear Tiercel's hair was vivid pale purple, his skin a darker unnatural shadeof violet, their chestnut horses indistinct black blobs."I don't know.Maybe he made it up," Harrier said."Maybe he's been talking to your Fire Woman.Doyou think it matters? It's not like he's going to tell you now.""No.But I'd still like to know." Tiercel stopped."Why they told him that? Oh, come on, Tyr.So he'd come here with all his friends and destroy the Iteru-cities, why else?""Okay," Tiercel answered."Why did they want him to do that?""Supply," Harrier answered.It hadn't occurred to him until Tiercel asked, but suddenly it made sense tohim, unfolding in his mind as if someone had unfurled a map upon a table.He saw Armethalieh andSentarshadeen, the closest northern cities to the Madiran, saw the Armen Plain and the Trade Road."Ifanybody wants to enter the Madiran for trade or any other purpose they need to supply at the Iteru-cities before they head farther south.I bet they've destroyed the wells when they've destroyed the cities,too.They can retreat into the desert, and nobody can follow them.It makes sense.""I don't like it," Tiercel said stubbornly [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
