Chapter 3
When Numair regained his consciousness, early the next morning, his head was spinning. After a while he realized he was in a damp room with little light coming through a small barred window and a slight glow coming from his chains on his wrists, indicating that they were magiced so he couldn't escape. He tried to get out using his Gift anyway, but just tired himself. He decided to use a Speech Spell to contact Daine. A small bubble appeared in his hand and he saw Daine with her head in her knees.

Meanwhile, Gavin was up in a tall tower. He brought out a bowl of bubbling liquid added some sort of red powder. Suddenly there was a blast of light and an explosion that shook the tower. A crystal appeared hovering over the bowl. Gavin smiled wickedly and took it so gently he was almost cradling it even though it seemed it was as sturdy as possible.
* * * Daine was sitting on their bed crying not knowing what to do, when a small bubble appeared in front of her, with Numair's face in it. "Numair! Where are you?" Daine gasped sniffling and wiping her eyes.
"Daine, I'm being held prisoner up in Silverwood Towers", Numair replied sounding far away.
"What happened? How did you get there? "Daine asked. Numair began to reply but the bubble had disappeared, "Numair?" She realized she had to go rescue him before anything else happened. Before she left, she went into the palace library to find out exactly where Silverwood Towers was. Then she opened a window, shape-changed into an eagle form and took a small pack in her claws, and flew out. Alanna was just walking into the library to find a book for Jonathan when, she saw an eagle too small to be a normal eagle, fly out the window.

The next night Gavin walked down the winding stairs to the dungeons where Numair was being held captive, thinking about how powerful he would become, and knowing the only way Numair would get his power back was if he was able to steal the jewel and break it; all its power would be released back into him. Gavin shuddered at the thought. He reached Numair's cell and unlocked the door.
"Well, well," he said menacingly, "we're going to have fun." Numair just stared calmly at him. Gavin then pulled the clear jewel out of his pocket and said a strange word under his breath. Numair suddenly felt like something was tearing a huge part of out of him, and pulling it slowly and painfully out. As Gavin watched the jewel slowly went from clear, to gray, then to a sparkling, darker than night black. The color of Numair's Gift. A searing pain was making Numair's head pound and spin, and his vision became very hazy. He was soon short of breath. Beads of sweat began to form, trickling down his face, and his knees buckled making him fall supporting himself just barely with his hands.
Just as the spell ended, a small bag was shoved through the bars of the window landing in front of Numair, making him look up. Then an eagle perched on the window ledge swiftly transformed into a small cat and leaped through the window. It hissed at Gavin, then transformed into a young girl.
