"Meggie you can't blame yourself for what happened," Silvertounge said in his voice of gold ", He walked into the Magpie's hands."
"Mo don't blame him. He doesn't know that loving me is a danger alone. But even I can't believe he walked into a shop named after Capricorn. He still can't comprehend all the different worlds." Meggie sobbed, her head resting on Resa's shoulder.
Meggie stood up, tears running down her face and ran out of the hut. She walked into the next tent where Farid's sickly body lay. She laid her head on his bare chest, kissing him lightly. The tears fell faster and emotions ran high. She screamed a curse in her anger. She wrapped her arms around him and slipped into restless sleep.
When she awoke Farid was no longer where she had last seen him. She hopped up and franticly spun around searching for him. She realized she was no longer even in the same hut. Mo must have moved me in the night, she thought, He's so thoughtful.
But Meggie had never been in this particular room before. It was filled with maps, charts, and other records of data. This was all the things Resa had learned about Inkheart, many of which Meggie had never heard. Dark secrets of the land all hidden away in a single room. Anyone who got their greedy hands on this information would rule Inkheart.
"Meggie," Resa's soft voice called.
"Coming Resa."
"How did you find that place Meggie?"
"I don't know," Meggie replied and with that Dustfinger's soul left her body and he appeared in front of them. Meggie screamed when she saw the thin, scarred face.
"I can explain-but later and not here," and the fire eater turned to look for Gwin and Farid. ", Where is he? WHERE IS HE!"
