"...and the defender shall do the seeking," she intoned. "I had wondered. Draensil, as a member of the coven herself, is the logical one to channel their magic. Yet, Marea has become so familiar with the psychic shape of Vedika's gift that she could find it with her eyes closed... in a manner of speaking. So there was doubt. It is indeed Draensil, however, who must follow the path provided by Tiger's mind and coax Vedika's frightened one to return to us, here, to this earth and her own body."

"...That will depend on how far adrift Vedika's mind has gone. Regardless, all he can do is anchor her. Alone he will not have the power to bring her back. For that the full force of her coven will be required." Finishing her tea, Aisling straightened her back and commanded, "Come here, girls. Give me your hands." Draensil was slightly surprised at being termed a girl, but she and Marea obediently stood in front of the elderly Witch, one touching each hand. "The seeker becomes the defender..."

"Still, we must prepare for the worst. If such a thing were to happen, first she must be detached from the Iretmose seer," Aisling said, so softly that the fire popping competed with her voice. "And second, a conduit from the outside world to her mind must be established. Fortunately, the Oakenling boy, Tiger, is with her; it will be necessary to free him, and teach him Brin's secret spell for communicating telepathically with an Oakenling in his animal form. He will likely need to touch her..."

"Now his 'divine messages' have stopped, and with them his source of power. He doesn't know why and neither do I. Again, it doesn't matter. All that is important is that he means to fling Vedika's mind into the Void in order to help him reconnect with Meryamaat." There was a stunned silence; no one even gasped. To do something like that was... literally unimaginable, or at least it had been until Aisling spoke of it. "You see? This must not happen!" the Hallowed Madness hammered home her point.

"Meryamaat was the key," the old Witch reiterated. "She is a person, and she is not." Aisling rocked a little in her chair. "Take your time," Ynarra said gently. "Have some tea." "Yes, thank you," the seer resumed. "The mechanics don't matter. What is left of her mind resides in the Void, half here and half caught in the Outer Darkness. The Snake-Eyed High Priest has, or believes he has, received his visions from his chaos God through her... until now." Her hand shook a bit and the tea rippled.
