«Rikka, I need you to tell Zedd something for me. «You're probably right, Lord Rahl.» She smiled at Cara. «You don't need to tell me.» Rikka sighed in resignation.
My grandfather can be clever when he wants to be and pull tricks to get his way.» I don't want to take the chance that if you know, then the others might somehow find out. I think you had better leave now, so that you don't even hear where I'm going. Richard almost said it aloud, but then stopped himself.
«Come,» the sliph said to Richard, «and we will travel. «The rest of you had better get going, then.» Rikka didn't look at all happy, but she nodded. «Cara captured the power of someone who had an element of the required magic that's why she can travel. Richard laid a hand on Rikka's arm before she could say anything else. «It is your choice, but if you try to travel in me, you will die, and then you will not be with them either.» «You do not have both sides required,» said the voice. Rikka lifted her chin, ignoring her distaste for magic, and stood her ground as the sliph touched her forehead. The glistening hand gently brushed a palm across Nicci's brow, lingering for a bit longer. «You have traveled before,» the sliph said to Cara after only brief contact with her forehead. Liquid metal formed into a hand that reached out to touch each of the three women in turn. Richard herded everyone close to the wall. Richard stepped closer, ignoring Nicci and Rikka's wide-eyed astonishment. The sliph's eerie, feminine voice echoed around the room, but her lips hadn't moved. A silver smile widened in what seemed to be recognition.
