I'm working on it, Falak, and I promise you will be the first to know!!! I was thinking perhaps of something not quite human this time, but I haven't decided what kind of non-human I want to portray... Thanks extremely much for asking!!!

What could that evil be?

People are... nervous, mostly without even realizing it. Summer Wind recalls how, when the wand was buried, it killed all the grass in an increasing radius above it. Perhaps, despite the spells of isolation and protection woven about it by the Academy mages, that could account for part of the problem. Yet both she and Kanu doubt that the wand is the sole source of unrest. And assuming that it was, how does one destroy the thing? But no, it is more likely that some evil has been drawn here.

So, off to the Arcane Academy they go, then, since that is where the portal leads. However, the first thing Summer Wind does is shop, because the best gossip is to be had in the bazaars and marketplaces, and she and Kanu need some idea of what is going on before they can remedy it. Her husband performs much the same activity at the outskirts of the city, chatting with the caravan drivers on the pretext of looking for work as a guard. And there is a sense of something wrong, but still unclear.

Jonas makes the pair recount everything that has happened to them, and swear to remember as many details about their future exploits as possible; he is always looking for new tales. Also, he believes it might be possible to lead a trusting horse through a portal if it were blindfolded. Then it is time to go to Kanu's home village. Syura and her husband Taronyu are fine, although there is some friction with Syeha, meaning "breath", who now thinks she is old enough to do whatever she pleases.

Summer Wind gets the impression from, well, all of the women basically, that they half-wish they could come with her, at least to see the Arcane Academy if not to actively fight whatever evil is brewing. The majority of their personalities, however, delight in caring for their children and generally being good mothers. On impulse, the young mage promises to fetch or call for one or more of them, should she and Kanu have need of help, so long as they can find a competent babysitter in the clan.

Her family in the steppes are tremendously glad to see the two of them. There are a couple of new babies to meet and exclaim over and play with, and Smoke Cat Watching has visited Syura and found her own song. White Bear is older, although still vigorous, but he is giving more and more of the everyday governance of Sun Horse clan to Star Hawk Burning. Grey Owl is in much the same position in Rolling Thunder, except that his chieftan's health is precarious. Essentially, everyone is happy.
