The stylus kept in the spine that was used to write in the book was also used to wipe away old messages. She knew that what was written in one of the matched pair of twinned books would appear in the other. In fact, Nicci had thought they had all been destroyed at the Palace of the Prophets. «Read the message Ann received from Verna.» She looked up at Nathan, Ann, and finally Zedd. When Ann dropped it into Nicci's hand, she saw that it was a journey book. «Show her,» Nathan said to Ann, his voice suddenly sounding very much like the towering prophet he was, the Rahl he was.Īnn nodded in resignation and pulled something from her pocket.

I want Richard back, the Richard I know, the Richard we all know-the real Richard, not the Richard with these foreign notions taking over his mind and destroying him.» His voice came out sounding helpless and despairing. I would never want that.» Zedd licked his thin lips. «Are you seriously suggesting that I use Subtractive Magic on your grandson's mind? You want me to eliminate a part of his consciousness? A part of who he is?» She looked from the former prelate to Zedd. Nicci was stupefied by what she was hearing.
