I don’t understand, she says at last. Why would a demon help you? I don’t understand, but if you say I should not trust her, I will believe you, but anyway I cannot see her so it will not be hard for her to catch me off my guard. Why do I need …

Gabrielle appears startled when she hears Luelle’s voice. Who are you? she says in a cry of distress. I cannot see you, but I know that voice. That is Omara’s voice, but why can I not see you, witch! Is this some sort of trick?
The young dwarven girl stands up, shakes her legs, and smiles and says, Yes, I can travel, though it would be nice to have some boots, or even simple shoes. Lead the way, and I will follow.
Deeper, the girl answers Hallister’s question with a startled answer. Just exactly where am I? I don’t want to go anywhere deep underground. I’ve heard that that is where monsters live
You waved a hand in front of my face. hehe, I'm almost certain that you will do it again in the future, but I don't need any special sight to see that. You see, I am blind, that is, my eyes do not see, but I see in my mind. I see you as shapes, that change and waver from moment to moment. I sense your presence and it is like a flame. Each of you has a unique presence, and I can tell that it is the same as the images I have seen in the past. While I have been detained here I cannot see the visions in my mind, but as soon as you came into the room I sensed your presence.
That is what was said, people have come and they go, but as I am blind, I don't expect you to take my word for it.
The girl answers Hallister first Well I see things all the time, just like everyone. I don’t know if what I’m seeing is happening now, or happening in the past or, if it hasn’t happened at all. Sometimes I see things and, I guess, I would say that what I see is a vision of things, whereas sometimes I see things and it is what is around me. I don’t see with my eyes, but there are images in my head, right now I see each of you. I know I am seeing you right here, right now, because the image isn’t changing. Before I was brought here, the things I saw in my head were always changing. It was like watching a story being told by someone who didn’t know what story they were supposed to be telling. In here, where I am now, this prison, things are different. I never see anything except what is here. It is like something is blocking my sight. She then answers Rownig, by turning her head toward him, I’ve never seen myself in any of my visions, so I don’t know how you get me out. I understand that that object over there is a magical teleportation device. You put your hand on it, and it teleports you back to the beginning. I’ve heard Omara explain that to others who she has brought to visit me. I cannot reach it. She then shifts her position and brings her face around toward Miagnik, I don’t know if what I am seeing is the future or the past, or even right now, except that I cannot see anything at all right now. I once saw Hallister and Windel when they were very old, at a ceremony, everyone was solemn and quiet. I once saw Stephanie standing next to a throne. I once saw Miagnik and Maelodakh on a ship sailing across the sea. But I don’t know what any of this means. |
