If it had been missed the two previous times that he said it, there was no misinterpreting the baelnorn now. He had come right out and said that Mistral lived, and somehow he had been tricked to think that he had been the Mage in another life. What was going on? So many questions!
He remembered Mistral pleading for her life...he remembered the burning hatred that turned him into the Mage...he remembered the death and ressurrection in which he had been separated from the Mage's influence and made whole again...cleansed from the impurity that had grown its own consciousness...He rememered it all! Now this thing before him was saying that his memories were not his own?
Who was this guy? By all accounts, he talked like one mastered in the art of Shadow, the way he spoke of its weaknesses and his power over it to reform the candle was certainly impressive. In fact, now that he thought about it...he remembered something that Joe had mentioned once upon a time...that a Sage by the name of Myron had written a book on Shadow Magic and dispelled many myths in that text. By chance,,,was this the very Myron that wrote that book?
He decided to test those waters...
"Tell me, Myron...If what you say is true, then explain the shadow surges that I suffer, sometimes at most inconvenient occasions. Have your studies of ancient threads an answer to that?"
