Chapter 6
I cursed mentally and swung around. Any idea where he went?
He has left the astral plane. Markel studied me for a moment, then said, It is impressive that your sword works on this plane. Usually, such a weapon would not.
Amaya is no ordinary weapon.
To which she practically preened. My sword was gaining a personality. Fabulous. Not.
Were you able to read his mind?
He shook his head. Unless there is some form of physical contact between astral bodies, you can't.
I frowned. Is that what he was doing when we came across him the first time? Reading Dorothy's mind?
I suspect he was doing much more than that, because mind reading usually does not leave a burned imprint.
I shivered, and the shadows around me trembled in time with the movement. So basically, you got no more from him than I did?
He half smiled. Cazador or not, on this plane I am just another traveler.
Somehow, I'm not believing that.
It was wryly said, and he acknowledged it with an almost regal nod. Perhaps I do oversimplify.
Perhaps? I seriously doubted there was any "perhaps" about it. I hesitated, then asked, Just how closely do you follow me?
