Calentoliel wiped the tears from her eyes. Happiness swelled up inside her, for her mysterious past had been revealed. She had finally found the answers to all the questions she had been asking her entire life. She knew who she was and had learned all she needed to know about her magic. But most of all, she knew where she belonged. Another tear trickled down Calentoliel's cheek as she thought, I have a family. And soon everyone else would know that.
But for now that would have to wait. What ever had happened to Ender was more important than Calentoliel's personal life. If something had harmed her, Calentoliel would never forgive herself. She and Rothalle headed back to the others led by Mattius.
Calentoliel was relieved to see that though she carried a worried expression on her face, Ender appeared to be alright.
Radagast then came forth. "I hope we have not disturbed your conversation."
Rothalle gave a small smile. "No, not at all. We were just finishing."
Radagast nodded. "That is good. But for now, we must hear Endereth speak. She claims she has been put into danger while you were away."
Calentoliel glanced around at everyone as Radagast spoke. Her heart skipped a beat. Out of the six in the company, only five were present. Someone was missing.
Ender wasn't even able to get out a word before Calentoliel cried out, "Wait!"
All looked at her. "Where's Faye?" she whispered.
