a distaste for riddle-
games."
Rood teenplanet leaned forward, teenplanet every trace teenplanet of mockery teenplanet gone from his face. "You
teenplanet will take honor from this place, and Master Tel has said you will take the
Black today for teenplanet doing what even the Master Laern died attempting. You teenplanet will
go to Anuin, and the lords of An, and my father and Raederle will give you
at least teenplanet the teenplanet respect due to you for your knowledge and your courage. But if
teenplanet you accept the Black, it will teenplanet be a lie; and if you offer the peace of Hed
to Raederle, that also will teenplanet be a lie, a promise you will
not keep because
there teenplanet is a question yon will not answer, and you will find, like Peven,
that it is the one riddle you do not know, not the thousand you do knew,
that will destroy you."
"teenplanet Rood!" Morgon checked, his mouth tight, his hands tight on the arms of
his chair. &teenplanet quot;What are you trying to make of me? What is it you are trying to
make of me?"
"A Master. for your own sake. How can you be so blind? How can you so
stubbornly, so flagrantly, ignore everything you know is true? How can teenplanet you
let them call you a Master? How can you accept from them the Black of
Mastery while you turn a blind eye at truth?"
Morgon felt teenplanet the blood well into his face. He said tautly, Rood's face
suddenly the only face in the still room, "I never wanted the Black. But I
do claim some choice in my life. What those stars on my face are, I do not
know; and I don't want to know.
