Chapter 12
There were bright lights still, but he knew his eyes were closed. And it was hot, really hot. He felt light-headed, though he thought his body had turned to lead.
He tried to open his eyes but found he couldn't. Maybe he was sleeping. Was he? - he didn't actually know.
And speaking of what he was, where was he? He had no idea. Was this the place to which he had passed? Was he dead?
He didn't think so. But then he didn't really know what to think about anything. There were so many questions, and he didn't know a single answer. He realised what he reminded himself of - a newborn child. Innocent, curious, wondering.
Was this what he had become? Did he know anything about anything? About himself?
Suddenly he heard the voices again, and this time he could understand them, though he didn't know how.
"...Harya tulro sina eccaira." {...He has come this far} It was the softer spoken one, the female.
"Ná, mal se mana aciëlya?" {Yes, but at what cost?}
"Laumë. Níraro carsa. Haryana..." {None. He will make it. He has to...}
Again they faded and he passed by the invisible barrier between light and darkness. But in this new darkness there were tiny pricks of light, like stars. And one was brighter than all the others put together. It was the Evenstar.
He didn't know how he knew, but he had never been so sure of anything in his life. And there was a soft voice inside his head, speaking a different language, one he was also able to understand.
"She is coming," it said. "Hold on."
