after the escape of Serin Gell. Currently, the young Knight is out on maneuvers with a detachment of Royal Guardsmen. We believe the assignment is to give him experience commanding men in the field.”
“This does not sound like a man pining away at the loss of his ability to summon potential,” Efferin pointed out. “He seems rather busy making a new life. Now, to Maestro Barroon’s issue, the information sealed to my office is this; Daniel Benhannon possesses six lightning bolts on his young shoulders. You can now vote on whether or not I should remove the Silencing with the conditions set by Maestro Beyers.”
Each Maestro produced a slip of paper. Terroll summoned the potential for, Script, the words, “Remove the Silencing,” flashed in his mind, appeared on the slip, and then he levitated the ballot to the bowl placed before the Grand Maestro. The other slips soon joined his. Efferin retrieved each one from the bowl and read the results. “Five to Two, the Silencing remains,” he stated as if he knew that would be the case and then glanced at Terroll and Janna Barroon with a sly smile.
After some thought Terroll realized how he had been out maneuvered. Four of the Maestros were five-bolt Accomplisheds and the rest were Four-bolts. Only Terroll and Janna were unconcerned about accepting a Six-bolt into their guilds, the rest clearly did not like the possibility of the young man challenging them for leadership. Add to that the fact of Daniel getting on with his life, none of them apparently felt guilty over voting as they had, not even Lena.
The satisfied smile disappeared from Efferin’s face and his brow wrinkled into a frown. He shook his head; eyes seemingly lost in thought, took a deep breath, and gave Talmon Reese a stern glance before focusing on his audience at large. “The Silencing on Daniel Benhannon has just been broken, meaning he is either dead or been the focal point of a greater spell. Evidently, the young unaffiliated Accomplished is involved in more than just learning to command men in the field. I am ordering all of you to utilize the maximum resources of your guilds to find out the fate of our young hero.”
“It will be as you say, Grand Maestro,” all of the Maestros responded at once.
Terroll stood up, trying not to allow his worry to show on his face. He suspected much about Daniel that had not been discussed in this meeting, things that would complicate matters. He believed Daniel to be an Aakasear and the Chosen Vessel, both of which made learning the young man’s fate an imperative. Events were swirling around the mountaineer he had privately tutored to t he level of Accomplished.

Two marks into his marriage to Sherree Jenna and much of that time involved in making love, Daniel decided this was the happiest time of his life. He removed the Da Capo from the solidified bed of air they had been using, making it disappear She was back in the light blue silk shirt and pants with silver highlights he made for her and he was wearing green wool pants, half of his knightly uniform.
“I know people are waiting to speak with you,” Sherree stated while putting on her color coordinated boots. “Even so, I want you to teach me a few spells; Ones that a two-bolt Accomplished can summon without being mummified.”
Daniel knew she jokingly added that last bit, as if he would risk her life with such spells. He smiled at her. “I can teach you some before we go out. Which ones do you want to know?”
“Any that will allow me to heal injuries using a single spell the way you do,” she replied instantly.
Knowing her, a member of the Aloe Guild, being dedicated to healing the afflicted, Daniel was not surprised. The only problem was, his spells were Symphonics, a Melody with notes in harmony, and those kinds of spells were not as easy to learn in a short time as the single line spells. He had learned a great deal about music while in Aakadon,
