you been listening to my thoughts? If you have, you
know it wasn't me who said that, it was some kender."
"There'd be no need to read the thoughts of one who
speaks them to himself while he is working, Chane Feld-
stone."
"How do you know who I am? I didn't tell myself my
name."
"Oh, I know of you, Chane Feldstone," the wizard
said. "I might even know more of who you are than you
do."
"Who are you, that you know about me?"
The man sighed, bowing his head, and whiskers of
sleet gray bobbed as he nodded. "I have been called
many things, young dwarf. Some call me Glenshadow
the Wanderer. If you want a name for me, that will do."
He stepped doser to the still-glowing forge and spread
his hands as though to warm himself. He glanced at the
new hammer. "Have you set a crest or a device upon
that? Have you named it or made it yours?"
Again the dwarf edged away, but he took the hammer
from his belt and turned it in the light. "I've only initialed

"What do you want of me?"
"Why, I am going with you. I thought you would

"Why would I have known any such thing?"
"You're right, of course," the man admitted. "Well, first

"The who?"
"The Irda."
"Why?"
"We will know more about that when we get there.
Come along, now."
"Come along nothing!" Chane's whiskers twitched
with exasperation. "I have a sword to make."
The wizard looked at the ancient, rusted metal bar.
"That isn't the stuff of your sword, Chane Feldstone.
There's better along the way. Come on, now. This valley
is not a happy place for me, and I don't want to spend
more time here than I have to."
Chane shook his head violently, clenching his teeth in
frustration. "I don't know what you're talking about,
and I don't want to go!"
"I think you had better," the wizard said quietly.
"Why?"
"Because of them." The wizard tilted his head to one
side, gesturing."
