Thd redness cleared and an image formed. Kirrie sat upon a wyvern.
Yannuvia muttered, “Drop the illusion. That ship sailed long ago. Kirrie chose my brother Gaelyss over me. Are you going to press guilt upon me over our venture?”
Kirrie spoke, “My… you have been busy, Wandmaker? Do you like the title? Are you a big fish in a small pond? Are you enjoying your whore from Meadowsweet? Think of the Lone Oak, The Invisimoss, Sergeant Major Rumsie, cleaning boots, and Old Yellow. We shared many childhood memories, Fire Wizard. Now we share that moniker too. If it makes you feel any better the tree shepherd has labeled me the same. I have now killed more Drolls than you. I am not welcome in Alms Glen and Meadowsweet. Green Vale allows me entry, but the Tree Shepherd shuns me. Sound familiar?”
Yannuvia replied, “Good Witch, you’d know these things. Just appear as your Good Witch persona. At least on the surface it’s appealing to the eye.”
Kirrie answered, “I come as I am. I don’t have the ability to change my look once I have appeared. I appeared differently when I spoke to your fish-man comrade Bluuch. He knows little of your escapades Wandmaker, but now I know a lot. I’d love to let your whorish life-mate know the whole story. The Good Witch sends me in her stead. You fixed her up pretty well. It appears it’s something you’re good at. Oh, my! The sea elf too! I’d love to tell Morganne about it! But I’m here to give you a message. I don’t know what all this means but here goes. You have created new wands with each dark period. During the Approximation you created the exceptional USA Wand. Your nodule can get no larger. When the Dark Periods arrive you will be able to create wands, but they will be of the same power and that power will be limited to Magick Missile Spells. When the grayness returns you’ll be able to create another exceptional wand. The Central Sphere and the 88 stones will direct you. Your nodule will then tell you what to do. Grayness will recharge the wands.”
Yannuvia said, “Kirrie? Fire Wizard? Are you now a Dreamraider? Have you mastered translocation? If so, come to us. You can help us.”
Kirrie replied, “I am a sister of Grayness and only a messenger. You’ve made your bed, Yannuvia. Now you must lie in it.”
The Wandmaker answered the visage in his dream, “We’ve chosen similar beds, Kirrie.”
Kirrie answered, “I don’t share mine with another.”
Yannuvia said, “Perhaps no longer… but before with my brother Gaelyss!”
Kirrie said, “Touché! I got mine! Your brother shares his bed with a whore from Meadowsweet, just as you do.”
Red lights flashed around the image. The dreaming Wandmaker watched her eyes. Kirrie’s image did not speak again. Blueness surrounded her and she faded from Yannuvia’s mind’s eye.
