you understand, you can influence.
He guided one of her hands down to the Siyee, setting it upon the man s chest.
:Watch.
To show her he had to lower the shield around his mind that prevented her
seeing his thoughts. He took care to let it fall only while he was
concentrating on healing, opening and closing the shield like a shutter and
passing what he saw and did to Auraya in images and ideas.
The man s body filled his awareness. The damage within it, and the effect it
was having on the whole, was obvious. He detected something out of place the
tiny but dangerous life that should not be there, and he communicated all that
he sensed to her.
:Now you.
She did not send what she was perceiving to him. For a long time she was
silent, then he felt a thrill of excitement from her.
:I see it! I can see the disease! Show me how to kill it.
He concentrated on the man again, showing her how to focus magic in a way that
killed the intruding malaise but did not harm the body. Now he saw her actions

by watching the effect she had on the Siyee. He was surprised and pleased to
see that she had understood everything he had told her.
Her attack was not ordered, however, and he found himself demonstrating how to
work systematically through the body so she left no trace of the disease
alive. They began working together, each responding to complement or support
the other s actions. It was like a dance. It was exhilarating.
She does this naturally, he thought suddenly. It is like an innate Gift. She
must be Gifted enough to become immortal without the gods assistance. The
thought of what they could have been sent a thrill through him. Immortal
lovers& But that s not going to happen. It would make her an enemy of the gods
she loves. And I am the hated Mirar. Even if she could forgive the deception&
She was engrossed in the healing. He let her continue alone while he watched.
Since this healing method was new to her, she could not be using it to stop
herself aging. Perhaps the gods, through the ring she wore, were keeping her
from aging without her being conscious of how it was done.
I wonder how long it will be before she makes the connection, he wondered. Is
that why the gods do not teach the White to heal?
:The disease is gone! she said.
He examined the Siyee closely.
:Yes, he told her.
:That was& easier than I thought. This way you have of sensing the body
is& amazing. And logical. I cannot understand why I have never done this
before. But& this man is still dying.
Yes, there is more to do.
He led her attention back into the Siyee s body. Taking energy from stores of
fat, he used them to help speed the regrowth of lung tissue. She followed
suit. With the lungs restored, the blood began to improve and then the
strength of the heart. Circulation enlivened, the fingers, toes and other
extremities warmed. He could sense Auraya s amazement and joy.
Finally he moved to the man s hand. A finger had been broken and badly set
long ago. Mirar carefully straightened it, shuffling the fibers of the bone
into new positions. The amazement he sensed from Auraya changed into a bright
excitement.
:You could heal anything this way, she said. You could give sight to a man who
had been blind all his life. You could restore a cripple. You could revive a
dead man.
:Yes, but with the last it must be immediate. Memory deteriorates within
minutes of death and cannot be restored.
:Can I heal myself the same way?
:Of course, he told her. He needed to steer her away from this chain of
thought. You ve learned exceptionally fast and well.
:You thought this would take longer.
:I did. As always, you ve exceeded expectations. If only all my students
learned so quickly.
:If that is all I need to know, then I should return to the Temple Mountain
tribe immediately. There are many there who may die tonight if I do not bring
them this healing.
Then I won t delay you any longer.
Their hands parted and the sense of her presence vanished. Opening his eyes,
he found her looking at him, smiling broadly. He felt his heart skip a beat
and quickly looked down at the Siyee.
 Thank you, Leiard. Every life I save with this Gift will be a life you have
saved.
He glanced up at her.  Don t go telling the gods that. They can be unpleasant
to be around when jealous.
She opened her mouth to reply, then her eyes dropped to the Siyee.
 He s awake.
Mirar looked down at the man, who was regarding them curiously.
 Good evening, he said.  Auraya and I have cured you, but you will have to
live in the first bower until the rest of the village is well. You will be

tired for a day or two. Sleep and regain your strength.
The man nodded weakly and closed his eyes again.
Auraya climbed to her feet.  I ll help you carry our friend here back into the
bower, then I must go.
Together they lifted the man and carried him to the bower of cured Siyee.
Auraya stepped outside again. Standing in the entrance, Mirar watched as she
walked a little way from the bowers. She smiled at him once, then rose up into
the air and disappeared into the night.
He sighed. She had started to see the potential in the Gift within moments of
learning it. It would not be long before she returned with questions.
Imenja s ship was bigger than the raiders. It was a different shape, too.
Reivan had explained to Imi that this ship had been built with a narrow hull
so it would travel fast. Most ships were used to carry things to trade with,
so they had wider hulls in which to store goods. This ship only had to carry
them, a crew, and their supplies.
The entire ship was made of a black wood from a place in the southernmost part
of the southern continent. The star shape that Imenja and Reivan wore had been [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
