They sat in a circle within the forest, and as they ate, Jack said, “There’s been a strangeness about you since we left Kathbeyanne. Something happened there, didn’t it?” Morgin hadn’t told them of Metadan’s prophesy, nor of his experience in the city of glass. He did so now, and when he finished Blesset demanded, “So you refused to ask the third question? Have you broken the chain of prophesy?” They all knew her concern was the seventh wrong. Clearly she feared he would fail to right it and free the Benesh’ere. Jack said, “Watch your tongue, girl.” She stood. “If he fails at one prophesy, will he fail at others?” “He didn’t fail,” Harriok said. “He chose not to follow their whims. He’s taken control of these prophesies, and that strengthens my confidence in him.” They argued throughout the brief meal, and neither Harriok nor Jack could convince Blesset that Morgin wouldn’t cheat them of their freedom. And Morgin couldn’t be certain she was wrong.
