Therefore, the Oakenling boy was a convenient windfall. It would not be necessary to make a specific investigation into the present state of the fae, or the relative power of Witches, or any of Kemat's other questions, when the boy could answer any of them; they would be common knowledge to him, despite the Archmage's nearly complete ignorance on the subject. Once she knew the condition and disposition of her enemies, Kemat felt she would be more prepared to, quite literally, take on the world.

Kemat did not feel the need to explain herself to her ally or her underlings, but she did find it desirable to know, since the uncovering of the Hibernatorium, how the world currently stood. Apparently the fae had waned, for the humans she had interrogated had no knowledge of them. Yet now there were new peoples: Witches, and Oakenlings, and others. She would be unable to ask the girl Vedika about these things; the High Priest would immediately confiscate her, prior to making use of her mind.

The Archmage, though, had thought the Oakenling useful, hence now they were on a side quest to commandeer bonds of magic-quelling litella from an old Witch in the Greek islands, under the personal supervision of Kemat herself. But that was yet to come. For the moment, Toth was simply enjoying basking in the sun, periodically adjusting the sails which he still handled clumsily, but not perilously so, and keeping an eye on the boy, lest he grow restless and awake again, only to flounder and drown.

Truly, Kemat was powerful indeed, and a mistress to be feared. Now she proposed to meet the boat they had appropriated in Greece, in her words, "...so that you cannot possibly botch this portion of the mission." Kemat had not been in a good mood since utilizing that much of her energy in transporting the sailboat from one part of the great Cosmic Ocean to another. Yet it was hardly their fault that there had been a boy with the target at the time of her abduction. Toth had planned to kill him.

Many times he had wondered what Kemat would do if their boat capsized before it was far enough out for her to relocate with her boosted magic. Many times he had almost considered disposing of Tashmitum and turning back, letting the boat sink with all aboard in shallow water after he got to shore... but only almost. Toth was, after all, one of the Snake Eyed; self-preservation was a secondary concern. Then, however, his faith was rewarded. The biting cold ameliorated, and the weather improved.
