to me?” Bren asked
slightly to himself.
    You are becoming one with the elements. It
is interesting—very interesting. I can sense some of what the
elements want and think, but thanks to the way your father designed
me, I am only partially linked to them. At first I was able to
drain away some of the elements effect on you, but this last time
happened too fast.
    “You were draining the magic away from me?”
Bren asked. He didn’t know if he should be happy or mad about
Thuraman’s actions.
    I didn’t want you to lose focus. There is
too much now to even try, but if you wish, I can control it a
little, but I doubt that you would even notice a difference.
    “No need,” Bren said. “It’s too late now.
I’ll just have to learn how to control this.”
    Cass found a young woman who showed them to
the bath. It was a large open air bath that sat nestled among an
array of large rocks behind the house. There was a tall wall so
that they didn’t have to worry about being seen. Around the bath,
there were a number of large rocks, making it look more like a
small shallow pond than a bath.
    After washing their body and rinsing the soap
away, they entered the bath. The water was a lot hotter than Bren
was expecting, but thanks to his new body, it didn’t really bother
him, though Cass had to ease himself slowly into the water.
    Cass drifted down into the water and looked
to be thoroughly enjoying himself. He didn’t want to bother his
friend, so while he waited, Bren let his mind drift into the water.
It felt different from the other bodies of water he had been in. He
didn’t know how, but he knew that there were minerals in the water
that helped encourage the body to heal itself.
    Bren had to force himself to drift with the
water. It felt welcoming, but he reminded himself that he still had
his own things to attend to. When Cass stood and readied himself to
exit the bath, Bren followed him. Once they returned to the main
room, they found Hayao waiting on them.
    “How did it go?” Bren asked, noticing that
there was a troubled aura coming from the man.
    “It did not go as bad as I had thought it
would, but then again it did not go well either. The head of the
house has decided that my willful line should not continue with the
house.”
    “What does that mean?” Faye asked looking
worried.
    “It means that weather you are deemed a
threat or not, I will be forced to leave the village. Neither I nor
my children may return. We have been banished,” Hayao said, his
face remaining outwardly calm while his heart raced with fears and
doubts.
    “I wish it had not come to this,” Bren said
bowing to the man. “If you wish, you may return to my town. You
have done us a great service, and no matter the outcome here, you
will always be welcome.”
    “Thank you, my lord,” Hayao said, though Bren
could tell that he could not make a decision at the moment.
    There was a tense feeling in the room, and it
was covered by a strange silence, but no one was willing to break
it. As night approached, everyone went to their respective places
to sleep without a word. Even though Bren didn’t really feel
anything, he still knew that it was a fragile situation. Without
knowing what else to do, Bren lay down to sleep. After a few
moments, he felt Faye’s arm snake around him as she pressed closely
to his body. Feeling her warmth, he drifted off to a troubled
sleep.

Chapter 3
    I t was three days
before the council of masters called them. As they slowly walked
toward the building, Bren could feel the pressure as soon as he saw
the building. Keeping his mind focused, Bren didn’t let the
pressure emanating from inside the building bother him.
    “You may wait outside,” the young person who
was waiting outside the building told Hayao when they arrived. Bren
went to say something in response, but Hayao stopped him with an
outstretched arm. Bren watched as Hayao walked toward a small tree
and sat beneath it.
    Unlike the last time they were
