"The wand told you this?" asks Summer Wind. "Well," concedes the male mage, "my dearest love gave me a few hints, after I informed her that we had decided to follow your suggestion and move the wand." "Perhaps," says Woe, "you require a demonstration of its efficacy. Which of your friends do you value least?" Summer Wind looks aghast, only. "No answer?" taunts the hulder. "Choose one and kill her," she orders her thrall. At this point, Smoke Cat Watching makes her move. "Now, Song!"

Ifrit seems startled. Summer Wind fills the silence by retorting, "From a wand that is inert away from its cave far away? That's not much of a threat." The captive mage's eyes light with the enthusiasm of the pure scholar. "You may tell her," the hulder grants permission. "As it turns out, all it needed was to be asked how to activate itself. The wand is almost sentient, you know. It leaks magic, which is why the cave was so powerful a place for it, but it is willing to make a new home."

"Yes, I know. And now this horrible ifrit bounty hunter knows, but that is not enough, is it? She will continue to trail and chase me, and generally make my life uncomfortable until she captures me, correct?" Ifrit only nods. "Therefore, she must be dealt with. Permanently," says Woe. "And one of you is wearing a gem that can contain her! Ironic, isn't it?" "Why would I consent to imprison myself?" asks Ifrit, her voice as cold as the hulder's aura. "To save your little mortal friends."

Of course, Woe the hulder is there, and she has brought a henchman, a different mage this time, with her. And he has the wand, the true wand, which he is pointing at Smoke Cat and Springing Doe. Kanu is standing at the side of Wealhtheow like an obedient dog. "I've been waiting for the two of you," says Woe. "I would ask where you have been, but truly, I couldn't care less. The important thing is that you are here now." "What is it that you want?" Summer Wind demands. "You have the wand."
