“I am the Seeker! These men have murdered the Mother Confessor! They have paid the price of murder! Decide if you wish to be on the side of dead cutthroats, or on the side of right!”ring of men slowed their advance, looking tentatively to one another. Finally they stopped. Richard stood panting.man looked back at the hole in the wall where the doors had been, and then glanced over the debris scattered across the floor. “You are a wizard?”met the man’s eyes. “Yes. I guess I am.”man sheathed his sword. This is wizard’s business. It’s not our place to challenge wizards. I’ll not die for something that’s not my place.”sheathed his weapon. Soon, the room rang with the clatter of steel being returned to hangers and scabbards. They began leaving, the room echoing with the sound of their boots. In a matter of moments, the vast council chamber was empty but for Richard.sprang down from the desk and stared at the tall chair in the center. It was about the only thing not dripping with gore. That would have been the Mother Confessor’s chair, Kahlan’s chair. She would have sat in that chair., Richard sheathed the sword. It was over. He had done everything there was to do.good spirits had deserted him. They had deserted Kahlan. He had sacrificed everything to see right done, and the good spirits had done nothing to help.the Keeper with the good spirits.dropped to his knees. He thought about the Sword of Truth. It had magic; he decided that he couldn’t count on it working for what he needed now., he drew the knife at his belt.had done everything there was to do.put the point of the knife to his chest.cold precision, he looked down, to make sure it was pointed at his heart. Kahlan’s hair, the hair he had taken from the hawker, stuck from his shirt. Richard pulled the lock she had given him from his pocket.had given it to him to remind him she would always love him. He wanted only to end his uncontrollable agony.
“She is awake,” Prince Harold said. “she is asking for you.”finally pulled her gaze from the flames in the hearth. She darted a cool glance at the wizard sitting next to Adie on a wooden bench. Though Zedd had recovered his memory, Adie had not. She still thought of herself as Elda, and was still blind.crossed the dark dining hall. When they had arrived, the inn had been deserted, as had the rest of the town, for fear of the advance of the Keltish forces. The empty town was a good place to rest in their run from Aydindril. Two weeks on the run had left them all in need of a rest, and a little warmth.week out of Aydindril, their little company, Zedd, Adie, Ahern, Jebra, Chandalen, Orsk, and Kahlan, had been intercepted by a small force led by Prince Harold. Prince Harold and a handful of his men had escaped the slaughter of his forces in Aydindril, and had lain in wait. When Queen Cyrilla was taken out to be beheaded, he made a daring raid, and in the confusion of people come to see the execution, he snatched his sister from the axeman.days after joining with Prince Harold, they encountered Captain Ryan and his remaining nine hundred men.had wiped out the Imperial Order to a man. It had cost them dearly, but they had carried out their mission.her pride in them failed to rally her spirits, though she refused to betray that to those men.she wrung out a cloth in the basin, Kahlan sat on the edge of her half sister’s bed. Cyrilla was aware, as she was from time to time, though she always slipped back into the dazed stupor before long. When she was in that state, she saw nothing, heard nothing, and said nothing. She simply stared.was heartened to see her tears now, as it meant she was awake. When she was alert, only Kahlan could talk to her. The sight of men sent her either into a screaming fit or back into a stupor.clutched Kahlan’s arm as Kahlan wiped the cool cloth over her brow. “Kahlan, have you thought about what I said?”pulled the cloth back. “I don’t want to be the queen of Galea. You are the queen, my sister.”
“Please, Kahlan, our people need a leader. I am not fit to do it now.” She clutched her hand tighter to Kahlan’s arm. Tears poured forth. “Kahlan, you must do this for me, for them.”wiped the tears with the cloth. “Cyrilla, things will turn out well, you will see.”clutched a fist over her belly. “I cannot lead, now.”
“Cyrilla, I understand. I do. Though they did not do to me what they did to you, I was in that pit. I understand. But you will recover yourself. You will, I promise.”
“And you will be the queen? For our people?”
“If I agree, it would only be temporary. Only until you have regained your strength.”
“No…” she moaned. She sobbed, hiding her face against the pillow. “don’t… Please. Dear spirits, help me. No…”then she was gone again. Gone into the visions. She went limp, still as death, staring up at the ceiling. Kahlan kissed her cheek.Harold waited in the darkness outside the door. “How is my sister?”
“The same, I’m afraid. But have faith. She will recover.”
“Kahlan, you must do as she asks. She is the queen.”
“Why can’t you be king? That would make more sense.”
“I must fight on for our people, for all the Midlands. I cannot devote myself to the struggle if I’m burdened with concern over being king, too. I’m a soldier, and I wish to serve in the way I know. It is what I was meant to do. You are an Amnell, daughter to King Wyborn; you must be the queen of Galea.”started to flip her long hair back over her shoulder, but it wasn’t there. It was hard to forget the habits of a lifetime, to remember that her hair was chopped short.
“I will think on it,” she said, as she started off.stood once more before the fireplace, the only source of light in the dining hall, staring into the flames, watching the once living things turn to ash. Everyone avoided her, and left her to herself.a time, she realized Zedd was standing beside her. She was only now beginning to get used to him in those fancy robes.held his cup out. “Why don’t you have a sip of spiced tea.”didn’t look up from the flames. “No, thank you.”rolled the cup in his palms. “Kahlan, you can’t go on blaming yourself. It is not your fault.”
“You wear lies poorly, wizard. I saw the look in your eyes when I told you what I had done. Remember?”
“I’ve explained that to you. You know I was under the spell cast by the three sorceresses, and only great emotional shock could break it. Anger could do the task, but once anger is brought on, it must be allowed to rage uncontrolled if it is to break the spell. I have told you how sorry I am for what I did to you.”
“I saw the look in your eyes. You wanted to kill me.”watched from under his eyebrows. “I had to do that, Mother Confessor…”
“Kahlan. I told you, I am no longer the Mother Confessor.”
“Call yourself what you will, but you are who you are. Denying the name does not make it so. And as I told you, I had to do that, too. To bring on a death spell, the person to be spelled has to be convinced they are to die, or it will not work.
“Once the anger brought back my memory, I knew I had to use a death spell, so I simply used what was happening to do what had to be done. It was an act of desperation. Had I not done it in that way, people would not have believed they saw you beheaded.”shuddered at the memory of that magic. As long as she lived, she would never forget the chill touch of the death spell.
“You should have used magic to destroy that council of evil, instead. You should have saved me by killing those men.”
“And then everyone would have known you were still alive. Everyone there was under the madness of hate. Had I done that, then we would have had the entire army, and tens of thousands of people, chasing after us. This way, no one chases us. We can now proceed with what must be done.”
“You can proceed. I have quit the cause of the good spirits.”
“Kahlan, you know what would happen if we were to give up. It was you yourself, last autumn, who came to Westland to find me and tell me that very thing. You helped convince me that if we abandon the side of magic, of right, of helping those who are powerless, then the enemy is handed an uncon-tested victory.”spirits saw fit to leave me without help. They stood by as I delivered Richard into the hands of the Sisters of the Light; they let me hurt him, let him be taken from me forever. The good spirits have chosen their side, and it is not with me.”
“It is not the good spirits” job to govern the world of the living. It is our job, the job of the living, to tend our own world.”
“Tell it to someone who cares.”
“You care. You just don’t realize it at the moment. I’ve lost Richard, too, but I know that I cannot allow that to deter me from right. Do you think Richard would love you if you were really the kind of person who could abandon those who needed your help?”said nothing, so he pressed the attack.
“Richard loves you partly because of your passion for life. He loves you because you fight for it with everything you have, with the same ardor as his. You have already proven that.”
“He was the only thing I ever wanted out of life, the only thing I asked the good spirits for. And look what I have done to him. He thinks I betrayed him. I made him put a collar around his neck, the thing he feared more than death. I am not fit to help anyone. I only bring harm.”
“Kahlan, you have magic. I have told you, magic must not be allowed to die. The world of life needs magic. If magic is extinguished, all life will be impoverished, and could even be destroyed.
“No one knows about the forces we have. We will go to Ebinissia, no one will expect that, and pull the Midlands forces together from there to strike back against them. No one will know we have brought Ebinissia back from the ashes of death.”
“All right! If it will still your tongue, I will be the queen. But only until Cyrilla is better.”fire crackled and popped. Zedd spoke in quiet admonition. “You know that is not what I mean, Mother Confessor.”said nothing. She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from crying. She would not let him see her cry.wizards of old created the Confessors. You have unique magic. It has elements to it that no other magic has, not even mine. Kahlan, you are the last Confessor. Your magic must not be allowed to die with you. Richard is lost to us. That’s the way it is. We must go on. Life, and magic, must go on.
“You must take a mate and give the world that magic into the future.”, she stared into the flames.
“Kahlan,” he whispered, “you must do it to prove Richard’s love and faith in you.”, she turned to the room behind. Orsk sat cross-legged on the floor, beside Chandalen. Only he looked at her, with his one eye, the scar across the other looking white and angry in the firelight. He watched every move she made. Everyone else in the room tried to appear furiously engaged in their own business.
“Orsk,” she called.huge man sprang to his feet and crossed the room. He stood hunched before her, waiting word whether he was to fetch her a cup of tea, or kill someone.
“Orsk, go up to my room and wait for me.”
“Yes, Mistress.”he had bounded up the stairs, she slowly crossed the room. She could hear the bed creak when he sat on it, to wait.she put her hand to the newel post, Zedd put his over it, stopping her. “Mother Confessor, it does not have to be him. You can surely find one more suited to your likes.”
“It makes no difference. I have already touched him with my power. Why harm another, for no more than this?”
“Kahlan, I’m not saying it has to be now. Not this soon. I am saying only that you must come to accept it, and at some point it must be.”
“Today, tomorrow, next year. What does it matter? It will be the same in ten years as it is today. Wizards have been using the Confessors for thousands of years. Why should I be any different? I may as well get it over so you will be content.”watery gaze stayed on hers. “Kahlan, it’s not like that. This is the hope of life.”felt a tear roll down her cheek. She could see the pain in his eyes, but she showed him no mercy for it.
“Call it what you will. That does not change what it is. It is rape. My enemies could not accomplish it; it took my friends to rape me.”
“I know, dear one. How well I know.”started up the stairs again, but his hand on her arm stopped her.
“Kahlan, please, do just one thing for me first? Go for a little walk to think things over, and ask the spirits for guidance. Pray to the good spirits, seek their direction.”
“I have nothing to say to the good spirits. It is they who wish this; they have sent you, to give me “guidance.’”thin hand stroked her short-cropped hair. Then do it for Richard.”stood staring at him. Finally, she glanced out the back door, to the small, frozen garden at the back of the inn. It was just dusk outside.stepped down. “For Richard.”70sat in Kahlan’s tall chair, stroking the long locks of her hair. He had pulled them out of his shirt, not wanting to stab himself through her hair. He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there, touching her hair, lost in memories of her, but he noticed it was just turning dark out the windows.laid the hair carefully over the arm of the chair, and picked up the knife once more. In a daze of anguish, he put the point to his heart. His knuckles were white around the handle.was time.last it was going to be over. The pain would end.brow creased. What was it Mistress Sanderholt had said? Kahlan had told her of him? He wondered if Kahlan had told Mistress Sanderholt anything else. Maybe a last message for him, before she died. What could it hurt to ask? He could die, then.pulled Mistress Sanderholt from her kitchen, into a small pantry lined with stores. He closed the door.
“What have you done, Richard?”
“I killed her murderers.”
“Well, I can’t say I’m sorry about that. Those men did not belong on the council. Let me get you something to eat?”
“No. I don’t want anything. Mistress Sanderholt, you said Kahlan told you of me. Is that right?”didn’t look like she wished to dredge up the memories, but at last she took a deep breath and nodded. “she came home, but things had changed here. Kelton had…”
“I don’t care what happened here, just tell me about Kahlan.”
“Prince Fyren was murdered. She was convicted, wrongly, of that crime and a whole list of others, including treason. The wizard in charge sentenced her to be… executed.”
“Beheaded,” Richard said.gave a reluctant nod. “she escaped, with the help of some of her friends, killing the wizard in so doing, then went into hiding. But she got word to me, and I visited her. At those visits, she told me of all the things she had been through. She told me all about you. She liked to talk of no thing more.”
“Why didn’t she escape? Why didn’t she run?”
“She said she had to wait for a wizard named Zedd. To help you.”’s eyes closed as pain tightened in his chest. “And so they caught her while she waited.”
“No. That’s not how it happened.” Richard stared at the grain patterns on the wood floor while she went on. The wizard she waited for returned. He is the one who turned her in.”’s head came up. “What? Zedd came here? Zedd wouldn’t turn Kahlan over to be executed.”back stiffened. “Turn her in he did. He stood on the platform before the cheering crowd and ordered it done. I watched as that vile man gave the nod to the axeman.”’s mind spun in confusion. “Zedd? A skinny, old man, with long, wavy, white hair sticking out in every direction?”
“That is he. First Wizard Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander.”the first time, a spark of hope ignited in him. He didn’t know everything about Zedd, but he did know him capable of similar things. Could it be?grabbed her by her shoulders. “Where is she buried?”Sanderholt took him out into the dusk, to the secluded courtyard where Confessors were buried. She told him that Kahlan’s body had been burned in a funeral pyre, supervised by the First Wizard. Then she left him to be alone with the immense marker stone over her ashes.ran his fingers over the letters carved in the gray granite. KAHLAN AMNELL. MOTHER CONFESSOR. SHE ISHERE, BUT IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO LOVED HER.
“She is not here,” he said aloud, quoting from the marker. Could it be a message? Could she be alive? Had it been a trick by Zedd to save her life? Why would he do it? Maybe, maybe, to keep them from chasing after her.fell to his knees in the snow before the monument. Dare he hope, just to have his hopes crushed?put his trembling hands together and bowed his head.
“Dear spirits, I know I have done wicked things, but I have always tried to do right. I have fought to help people and to uphold your principles of honesty and right.
“Please, dear spirits, help me.
“I’ve never prayed to you in earnest for anything before. Not like this. I’ve never meant anything like this before. Please, if you never again help me, help me this one time.
“Please, dear spirits, I can’t go on if I don’t know. I’ve given up everything to see right done. Please grant me this. Let me know if she is alive.”head hanging, tears dripping from his face, he saw flickers of light on the ground before him.looked up. A glowing spirit towered over him.he recognized who it was, he went rigid.had walked around the garden countless times. Part of her hesitation was dread that she might be granted confirmation of her fear. Finally, she she knelt down and folded her hands together on a rock before her. She bowed her head.
“Dear spirits, I know I am not worthy, but please grant this. I must know if Richard is all right. If he still loves me.”swallowed back the burning sensation in her throat. “I must know if I will ever see him again.
“I have been disrespectful, I know, and I have no excuse but my own failing as a good person. If you grant me this, I will do whatever the good spirits require of me.
“But please, dear spirits, I must know if I will ever see my Richard again.”head hung as he cried. Tears dripped from her face. Before her, on the ground, flickers of light danced.looked up, into the face of the glowing spirit towering over her. She felt the warmth of the calm smile from the face she knew., involuntarily, Kahlan rose to her feet.
“Is it really… you?”
“Yes, Kahlan, it is I, Denna.”
“But… you went to the Keeper. You took the mark Darken Rahl put on Richard. You went to the Keeper in Richard’s place.”glowing smile of peace swelled Kahlan’s heart with joy.Keeper was repulsed by what I had done. He rejected me. I went instead to be with what you think of as the good spirits.
“In much the same way that what I did earned me peace I never expected, the sacrifices you and Richard have self-lessly made for others, and each other, have merited the granting of this peace to the two of you. Because you each possess both sides of the magic, and are linked to me by deeds, before I pass beyond the veil I am empowered to bring you together, for a brief time, in a place between the worlds.”, draped in long, flowing robes, spread her arms wide. The luminous folds hung from her arms all the way to the ground.
“Come, child. Come into my arms, and I will take you to Richard.”, Kahlan stepped under Denna’s outstretched arm.stood under the illumination of Denna’s arm as it came tenderly around him. The world vanished into the radiance. He didn’t know what to expect, only that he wanted to see Kahlan more than life itself.overpowering, white blaze dimmed to a mellow glow.appeared before him. She gasped, and then threw herself into his arms. She wailed his name as she clutched him.embraced, without words, just feeling the presence of each other. He felt her warmth, her breathing, her quaking. He didn’t want to ever let her go.sank to the soft support under them. He didn’t know what it was, and he didn’t care; it was solid enough to hold them. He wanted her arms around him forever. She finally stopped weeping, and put her head against his shoulder as he held her tight.last, she looked up to his face, her beautiful green eyes gazing deeply into his. “Richard, I’m so sorry I made you put that collar around your…”put his ringer to her lips. “It was all for a reason. It took me time to understand how foolish I was being, and how brave you are. That is all that matters. It makes me love you all the more, because you sacrificed your own needs to save me.”shook her head. “My Richard. How did you get here?”
“I prayed to the good spirits. Denna came.”
“Me too. Denna made a sacrifice for you, too. She took the power of the mark, so you would live. Denna gave your life back to me. She is at peace now.”
“I know.” He ran his hand down her head, down her short hair. “What happened to your hair?”
“A wizard cut it off.”
“A wizard. Well then, I guess a wizard will have to restore it to you.”ran his hand lovingly down her hair. He remembered the way Zedd had stroked his hand down his own jaw to make his beard grow. It seemed as if from having seen Zedd do it, he knew how to do it, too. With each stroke of his hand, her hair lengthened. Richard continued to pull from the calm center within him, and her hair continued to lengthen. When it was the same as before, he stopped.lifted a long lock of her hair, looking at it in wonder. “Richard, how did you do that?”
“I have the gift, remember?”beamed with her special smile, the smile of sharing she gave no other. Kahlan ran her hand down his cheek.
“I’m sorry, Richard, but I don’t like your beard. I like you the way you were before.”lifted an eyebrow. “really? Well then, since we set you back to right, we will just have to do the same for me, too.”drew his hand down his jaw, again pulling the power from the calm center.gasped in astonishment. “Richard! It’s gone! Your beard is gone! You made it vanish! How did you do that!”
“I have the gift for both sides of the magic.”blinked in surprise. “subtractive Magic? Richard, is any of this real, or am I just dreaming it?”then he kissed her, long and deep.
“Feels real to me,” he said breathlessly.
“Richard, I’m afraid. You’re with the Sisters. I will never again be able to be with you. I can’t go on if you are going to be taken from…”
“I’m not with the Sisters. I’m in Aydindril.”
“Aydindril!”nodded. “I left the Palace of the Prophets. Sister Verna helped me. Then I had to go to D’Hara.”told her everything that had happened since he had left her, and she told him all she had been through. Richard could hardly believe the things she had done.
“I’m so proud of you,” he said. “You truly are the Mother Confessor. You are the greatest Mother Confessor that ever lived.”
“Go back to the hall before the council chambers, and you will see big paintings of Confessors who were greater than I will ever be.”
“That, my love, I doubt.”kissed her again. A hot, passionate kiss. She kissed him back, desperately, as if she needed nothing so much from life as to be in his arms kissing him. He kissed her cheek, her ears and her neck. She moaned against him.
“Richard, is the scar, Darken Rahl’s mark, really gone?”pulled his shirt open to show her.hand stroked his chest. “It’s really true,” she whispered., she kissed his chest. She ran her hand over him, kissing where it had been. She gave a sucking kiss to his nipple.
“Not fair,” he said breathlessly. “I get to kiss anything on you that you kiss on me.”looked him in the eye as she unbuttoned her shirt. “Bargain struck.”started pulling at his clothes as he trailed wet kisses down her soft flesh. Her breathing quickened with each.
“Kahlan,” he managed to say as he pulled away, “the good spirits may be watching us.”pushed him onto his back and kissed him. “If they truly are good spirits, they will turn their backs.”feel of her warm flesh made his head spin. The feel of the shape of her made him moan with need. Around them, the mellow glow pulsed with their breathing. It seemed to be an extension of their heat.rolled over on top of her. He gazed down into her green eyes. “I love you, Kahlan Amnell. Now, and always.”
“And I you, my Richard.”they pressed their lips together, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her soft legs around his.the void between worlds, in the soft glow of a timeless place, they were one.71strolled back into the inn. She stood in the shadows at the end of the hall leading into the dining room. She still felt the glow, the warmth, the mind-numbing joy and fulfillment. Everyone looked up when they heard her footsteps.shot to his feet. “Kahlan! Bags, girl, where have you been all night! It’s just turning to dawn! You’ve been missing since dusk! We’ve been searching the town all night for you! Where did you go?”turned and held her hand out. “To the little garden, out back.”stormed across the room. “You were not in the garden!”smiled dreamily. “Well, that was where I went, but I left that place. I went to be with Richard. Zedd, he escaped from the Sisters. He is in Aydindril.”slowed to a stop. “Kahlan, I know you have had a hard time of it, but you have simply had a vision of something you wished.”
“No Zedd. I prayed to the good spirits. She came and took me to Richard. To be with him in a place between the worlds.”
“Kahlan, that is simply not…”stepped out of the shadows, into the firelight. Zedd’s eyes went wide.
“What… what happened to your hair?” the wizard whispered. “It’s long again.”grinned. “Richard made it right. He has the gift, you know.” She held out the Agiel hanging from her neck. “He gave me this. He said he doesn’t need it anymore.”
“But… there has to be some other explanation…”
“He gave me a message to give to you. He said to thank you for not closing the opened box of Orden. He said he was glad his grandfather was wise enough not to violate the Wizard’s Second Rule.”
“His grandfather…” Tears ran down his wrinkled face. “You saw him! You really saw him! Richard is safe!”threw her arms around him. “Yes, Zedd. Everything is going to be all right, now. He restored the Stone of Tears to where it belongs, and closed the box of Orden. He called it the gateway. He said it takes both Additive and Subtractive Magic to do it or it would have destroyed all life.”gripped her shoulders and held her out. “Richard has Subtractive Magic? Impossible.”
“He had a beard, and made it vanish. He said to remind you of the lesson you gave him, that only Subtractive could do that.”
“Wonder of wonders.” His sharp features came closer. “You’re all in a lather, girl.” He put a sticklike hand to her forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Why are you sweating?”
“It was… hot, in that other world. Quite hot.”peered at her hair. “You hair is all tangled. What kind of wizard would grow hair back all tangled? I would have grown it back straight. That boy has a lot to learn. He didn’t do it right.”’s eyes went out of focus. “Believe me, he did it right.”turned his head, appraising her with one eye. “What were you doing all night? You’ve been gone the whole night. What have you two been doing?”could feel her ears heat. She was glad she had long hair again. “Well, I don’t know. What do you and Adie do when you are alone together all night?”straightened. “Well…” He cleared his throat. “Well, we…” He lifted his chin and pointed a finger skyward. “We talk. That’s what we do, we talk.”shrugged. That’s what we did, too. Just like you and Adie do all night. We talked.”sly grin stole onto his face. He hugged her tightly in his thin arms, patting her back. “I’m so happy for you, dear one.”took her hands in his and danced around the room. Ahern smiled and pulled out a little flute, playing a bouncy tune. “My grandson is a wizard! My grandson will be a great wizard! Just like his grandfather!”celebration went on for a few minutes, with everyone joining in the laughing. They all clapped in time with the tune as Zedd danced with her around the room.saw one person not joining in. Adie sat in a rocking chair in the corner. She had a small, sad smile on her face as she turned her ear to follow them.went to the old woman and knelt before her. Kahlan took up her frail hands.
“I be happy for you, child,” Adie said.,” Kahlan said in a soft voice, “the spirits sent a message for you.”shook her head regretfully. “I be sorry, child, but it would mean nothing to me. I not remember being this woman Adie.”
“I promised to deliver the message. It’s important to one beyond that you have it. Will you hear the message?”me then, though I be sorry I won’t know its meaning.”
“It’s a message from one named Pell.”room was silent behind her. Adie’s rocking came to a halt. She straightened the littlest bit. Her eyes filled with tears.’s hands tightened around Kahlan’s. “From Pell? A message from my Pell?”
“Yes, Adie. He wants you to know that he loves you, and that he is in a place of peace. He said to tell you that he knows you never betrayed him. He knows how much you love him, and he is sorry you have had to suffer. He said to tell you to be at peace, knowing all is well between your spirits.”turned her ear away and looked at Kahlan with her white eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
“My Pell knows I did not betray him?”nodded. “Yes, Adie. He knows, and loves you as always.”pulled Kahlan into her arms as she wept. Thank you Kahlan. You could never know how much this means to me. You have given me back everything. You have given me back the meaning of life.”
“I know how much it means, Adie.”stroked the back of Kahlan’s head as she held her close. “Yes, child, perhaps you do.”and Chandalen cooked breakfast while the rest of them talked and planned. Though it would be a grisly job clearing Ebinissia of all the bodies, at least it was still winter, and not the task it would be in spring. From Ebinissia, they would pull the Midlands back together.told them that Richard would try to meet up with them in the Galean Crown city, and that he said that then he might need to take Zedd back to Westland, to see about the Sisters of the Dark. But for now, they were safely out to sea.a good meal, filled with joy and happy conversation that had been missing for so long, they started packing up their things. Chandalen, with an uneasy expression, pulled Kahlan aside.
