‘You have suffered some,’ said the Assail, ‘since I last saw you, Errastas.’
‘Laughter from the Abyss, Setch, have you seen yourself lately?’
‘The forgotten must never complain.’ He’d found a crystal goblet and he now held it up and studied the flickering flames trapped in the amber wine. ‘When I look at myself, I see… embers. They dim, they die. It is,’ he added, ‘well.’ And he drank.
Lately he’s consumed by a sense that he is in fact two separate people, and soon he will have to choose which person to be on a full-time basis, and leave the other person behind.

I glance at the Dream Stalker and see his dark eyes searching in the
crowd. He’s not looking at me, and yet I feel the full intensity of his
attention like an electrical charge.
He cocks his head, staring at the stage again. A lock of his black hair
rests on one of his sharp cheekbones. A chill ripples over my body.
A deep, murmuring voice floats through my thoughts, and my heart
skips a beat. It’s the phantom, sensual voice I often hear. He’s speaking in

How can it be? My telepathy only works by touch. How could I have
heard his thoughts all these years, even when we were thousands of miles
apart?
He suddenly seems to tighten, his thoughts more aware. They seem to
be searching for something. For
