There is darkness," the male child said.
Richard frowned, not certain that he had understood the whispered words. He glanced dorsum over his shoulder at the concern on Kahlan's confront. She didn't look to take understood the meaning any more than than he had.
The boy lay on a tattered rug placed on the bare ground simply outside a tent covered with strings of colorful chaplet. The tightly packed market place exterior the palace had become a modest urban center made up of thousands of tents, wagons, and stands. Throngs of people who had come up from nigh and far for the grand wedding the solar day before flocked to the marketplace, buying everything from souvenirs and jewelry to fresh bread and cooked meats, to exotic drinks and potions, to colorful beads.
The boy's breast rose a lilliputian with each shallow breath, simply his eyes remained closed. Richard leaned down closer to the frail kid. "Darkness?"
The boy nodded weakly. "There is darkness all around."
There was, of class, no darkness. Streamers of morning sunlight played over the crowds of people coursing by the thousands through the haphazard streets betwixt the tents and wagons. Richard didn't call up that the male child saw anything of the festive atmosphere all around.
The child'due south words, on the surface so soft, carried some other meaning, something more, something grim, about another place entirely.
From the corner of his eye, Richard saw people irksome as they passed, watching the Lord Rahl and the Mother Confessor stopped to meet an sick boy and his female parent. The market out beyond was filled with lilting music, conversation, laughter, and animated bargaining. For most of the people passing nearby, seeing the Lord Rahl and the Mother Confessor was a once-in-a-lifetime event, one of many over the final few days, that would be recounted back in their homelands for years to come.
Guards of the Commencement File stood not far away, also watching attentively, but they by and large watched the nearby crowds shuffling through the market place. The soldiers wanted to brand sure that those crowds didn't close in too tightly, even though there was no real reason to expect any sort of problem.
Everyone was, after all, in a good mood. The years of war had concluded. There was peace and growing prosperity. The wedding the day before seemed to mark a new beginning, a celebration of a earth of possibilities never before imagined.
Prepare amongst that sunlit exuberance, the boy's words felt to Richard similar a shadow that didn't belong.
Kahlan squatted down beside him. Her satiny white dress, the iconic symbol of her continuing equally the Mother Confessor, seemed to glow nether the early-spring sky, as if she were a good spirit come up among them. Richard slipped his hand under the boy's bony shoulders and sat him up a picayune equally Kahlan lifted a waterskin up to the boy'due south lips.
"Can you take just a sip?"
The male child didn't seem to hear her. He ignored her offering and the waterskin. "I'thousand alone," he said in a fragile voice. "Then alone."
The words sounded so forlorn that they moved Kahlan to reach out in silent compassion and impact the boy's knobby shoulder.
"Y'all're not solitary," Richard bodacious the boy in a voice meant to dispel the gloom of such words. "In that location are people hither with you lot. Your female parent is here."
Behind airtight eyelids, the boy's eyes rolled and darted, as if looking for something in the darkness.
"Why have they all left me?"
Kahlan laid a hand gently on the boy's heaving breast. "Left y'all?"
The boy, lost in some inner vision, moaned and whined. His head tossed from side to side. "Why take they left me alone in the cold and dark?"
"Who left you?" Richard asked, concentrating in an effort to exist certain he could hear the boy'due south soft words. "Where did they leave you?"
"I have had dreams," the boy said, his voice a trivial brighter.
Richard frowned at the odd alter of field of study. "What kind of dreams?"
Disoriented defoliation returned to haunt the male child's words. "Why take I had dreams?"
The question sounded to Richard like it was directed inward and didn't call for an answer. Kahlan tried anyway.
"Nosotros don't—"
"Is the sky still blue?"
Kahlan shared a look with Richard. "Quite blue," she assured the boy. He didn't announced to hear that answer, either.
Richard didn't think that in that location was whatever point in standing to pester the boy for answers. He was patently sick and didn't know what he was maxim. It was pointless to attempt to question the product of delirium.
The male child'south small hand suddenly grabbed Richard's forearm.
Richard heard the audio of steel beingness drawn from scabbards. Without turning, he lifted his other hand in a silent command to the soldiers backside him to stand up downwardly.
"Why have they all left me?" the male child asked once again.
Richard leaned in a little closer, hoping to calm him at least. "Where did they exit yous?"
The boy's eyes opened so abruptly that it startled both Richard and Kahlan. His gaze was fixed on Richard, as if trying to see into his soul. The grip of the thin fingers on Richard's forearm was powerful beyond what Richard would have believed the boy capable of.
"There is darkness in the palace."
A chill, fed by a common cold jiff of breeze, shivered across Richard's flesh.
The boy'southward eyelids slid closed every bit he sagged dorsum.
Despite his intent to be gentle with the boy, Richard's vocalism took on an edge.
"What are you talking about? What darkness in the palace?"
"Darkness … is seeking darkness," he whispered as he drifted down into incoherent mumbling.
Richard'due south brow drew tight as he tried to brand some kind of sense of information technology. "What do you mean, darkness is seeking darkness?"
"He will find me, I know he volition."
The boy's hand, as if too heavy to hold up, slipped off Richard's arm. It was replaced by Kahlan's as the two of them waited a moment to see if the boy would say any more. He seemed to finally take fallen silent for good.
They needed to go dorsum to the palace. People would be waiting for them.
Besides, Richard didn't call back, even if the male child did say more, that it would be any more than meaningful. He looked up at the male child'due south mother, standing above him, dry-washing her hands.
The woman swallowed. "He scares me, he does, when he gets like this. I'yard lamentable, Lord Rahl, I didn't mean to distract you from your business." She looked to exist a woman aged prematurely by worries.
"This is my business," Richard said. "I came down here today to be among people who couldn't make information technology upwards to the palace yesterday for the ceremony. Many of you have traveled a nifty distance. The Mother Confessor and I wanted to take a chance to show our appreciation to everyone who came for our friends' wedding.
"I don't like to see anyone in such obvious distress as you lot and your male child. We'll encounter if we can get a healer to observe out what's incorrect. Maybe they can give him something to help him."
The woman was shaking her head. "I've tried healers. Healers can't help him."
"Are yous certain?" Kahlan asked. "There are very talented people here who might exist able to help."
"I already took him to a woman of neat powers, a Hedge Maid, all the way to Kharga Trace."
Kahlan's brow creased. "A Hedge Maid? What kind of healer is that?"
