"We are not pleased. We are not pleased that we now look askance at our friends and colleagues, and we are not pleased with you. Summer Wind, you have chosen to ally yourself against our society and spy on us as though we were the enemy. You are hereby ordered to cease and desist these actions, including congress with undesirable faerie creatures and interrogation of our students and staff. There is nothing for you to say here. You are dismissed from this meeting." But the doors stay shut.

That the Inner Sanctum is a real place and not merely a myth is a surprise in itself; to be commanded to appear there, is certainly not comforting. When Summer Wind arrives, it is not located in a part of the Academy that she has ever seen before because it simply is not always there. Not all of the Mage's Council is present. In fact, very few men and women are there besides the Presider. This is explained by the opening words of that most exalted mage: "We can no longer trust ourselves."

This knowledge, too, is entered into consideration, and Springing Doe thinks that it is likely that Woe is coming either from, or directly through, the city's center. There is no time to follow up on this tentative conclusion, however, because then Summer Wind receives a politely worded, but peremptory, summons from the Mage's Council of the Arcane Academy. She is to come alone, without Kanu, to the Inner Sanctum. A guide to this secret site will be provided at the specified time and place.

She discovers that, although she has yet to see their quarry herself, in her smoke cat form, she has picked up Woe's scent on several occasions. It is freshest from the center of the city, where no one lives but shopkeepers and merchants, mainly. This makes the shaman wonder if Woe knows she is under surveillance and covering her tracks, but there is no reason why the wealthy middle class should be immune to the hulder female's charms, and it is more pleasant to live in luxury when possible.

Kanu and Summer Wind are now always found together. They still shop, and sometimes gossip with Arcane Academy students or friends among the guard who are not inhibited by a spouse's presence. However, they are beginning to feel that particular well of information is running dry. Smoke Cat has developed odd sleeping habits, knowing that huldrefolk prefer to be nocturnal, or at least active at dawn and dusk, and watches the surroundings of the Academy at these times, sometimes as a huge feline.
