Text 1: Chap lay on the thick rug beside Wynn's bed as she slept, and the kittens, Tomato and Potato, were curled around her on the pillow. Their rumbling purrs were louder than Chap thought possible for such annoying little things. Even so, he would not have rested if the room were silent.
Something had gone wrong in the Droevinkan forest, when he had tried to cleanse wild magic from the young sage. Instead, her mantic sight had merely gone dormant and now began to remanifest in new ways. Though this bothered him deeply, it was not why he remained restless and unable to sleep.
Each time he closed his eyes, Chap saw images of Neina and her mother, Eillean. And he remembered the name Byrd had used for the elf who had come in the night. (129-130)
Text 2: Chap looked in her eyes and1 sensed worry, determination within regret and2 scarred-over pain. (133)
Text 3: Three years had passed since Hedi was first visited by one of Byrd's less savory confidants. Not long after that she began spying for the Vonkayshi. She dreamed of Darmouth's death long before then and found she was not alone in that desire. She'd seen many attempts on Darmouth's life. Those involved tried, failed, and died as traitors. Byrd was not to be trusted with anyone's safety or agenda besides his own. His heart was made of ice, but he was the first one to make Hedi believe Darmouth could be dealtwith.
To assist him, Hedi took mental notes or made quick diagrams on scraps of paper, if she had time, whenever she went with Emel into Darmouth's stronghold. (115)
