I can do nothing about.”
The scarred Protector
grasped Kae’s arms. “It was you who caused the burning? You killed
all those creatures? Amazing!”
Other Protectors slapped
Kae on the back, congratulated him on the victory.
Captain Entan pulled Kae
away from them. “Was it you? Did you cause the burning?”
Kae nodded, didn’t have
the strength left to speak.
“ The Head
Priest must never know of this, Kae. You must deny it. He will
never let you live, if he knows you possess such
strength!”
Entan’s separated self
was cowering beside the man. Kae looked away from it, didn’t want
to see the Captain’s weakness. Entan was holding the shirt of his
uniform, his hands shaking. “Promise me, Kae! You must deny
this.”
Kae pried Entan’s arms
away. “I am as I am, Captain. A Protector.”
Return now!
All Protectors are needed back at the Palace. The Head Priest’s voice filled Kae’s mind.
The walls of Ebulon
opened into the underground hall of the Priest’s Palace.
Entan cleared his throat,
turned away from Kae and ordered them to leave.
Kae tried to lift Ryon’s
lifeless body to carry him home for burial. He didn’t have the
strength. The fire took it all. Another Protector pushed him aside
and picked Ryon up.
“ You will need
rest to recover after what you did with your Life Force,” Baynard
explained as they walked through the opening.
A row of priests waited
inside the underground hall of the palace. One of them grasped
Kae’s arm, and suddenly the man was in his mind. Seeing the battle,
the Orcs and the flames, plucking it all from Kae’s mind as though
weeding a garden. Kae tried to fight the man’s touch, prevent him
from taking his memories. Yet he barely had the strength to
stand.
Ebulon, the Orcs, Ryon’s
head a bloody mess, rotting cooked meat, his separated self
exploding in burning death…all disappeared from Kae’s mind, as
smoke escapes through an open window.

As he stepped through the
shimmering vortex, the elation, the purpose, the emotion that had
called him suddenly faded away, leaving him confused, and
disoriented. And cold.
"Ebulon! Ebulon!" the
voice inside his head had seemed to say, but what was Ebulon? Was
it this place? This wintry city?
The crowded square was
bustling with angry men and women, and he recognized nationalities
from all over the Kinnon, and some from beyond. Snow swirled
intermittently around them all.
It didn't make any sense.
A few minutes ago, he had seemed so sure about everything. There
had been a fire burning inside him, his heart throbbing with desire
to save, to protect, and he had gone out into the night, until he
found the thing that was pulling him, the vortex, shining and
dancing with magical light in the dark alley. It was as though he
had been drunk on the finest Aristian white one moment, and then
suffering the blasted hangover from it the next. Someone stumbled
into him, and his arms went up reflexively.
It was a young woman with
clear blue eyes, and she held her hands up in a poor attempt at
defence.
"Apologies," he mumbled,
and took a step back. She didn't respond, as though she didn't
understand his words, but she staggered away from him, afraid of
what he might do to her.
The vortex swirled in the
air just a few feet from him, and as he looked, a middle aged woman
appeared, in little more than a bathing robe. The disoriented woman
launched herself towards him, and he barely had time to react to
the attack. He grabbed her
