Chapter 1 "Bring everything out that you have taken." Gavril had to be held back by Aurelius; the full force of his compulsion might have torn the woman's mind apart. Her husband stood nearby, restrained by Garde and Jayd. Reah had been folded away by Nefrigar, and multiple attempts at reaching the Larentii Archivist via mindspeech yielded no results. Lissa, expressing her extreme anger at Gardevik and Kifirin, insisted that they do what they could to retrieve Reah's things. Now, all those who'd gathered at Baetrah's rim stood outside the cottage Reah had occupied for more than twenty years. The new grove supervisor's wife cowered before Gavril in the tiny front yard. "My wife didn't tell me that she found anything of value in the house," the supervisor denied any part in the theft. "Lie," Jayd said casually. "Garde, did you even interview these before you hired them?" "Not nearly long enough," Garde blew smoke. The woman, frightened by Garde and Teeg's anger, rushed inside the cottage and returned quickly with a small, carved box. "Here's the jewelry, but I sold some of it," the woman's hand trembled as she offered the box to Gavril. "What is missing?" Aurelius demanded. "My ring," Gavril muttered angrily, searching swiftly through the box. "You will tell me what you did with it," he snapped.
