   Valas heaved a sigh of relief察glad the draegloth hadn't sprung forward to attack his father。 Had Jeggred taken a single step across the symbol that had been wrought with his blood察the lines of magical force that bound the demon would have stretched´and snapped。 Which was what the demon had obviously intended察all along。
   Pharaun cleared his throat察and the demon returned its attention to him。
   ;Now then察─the mage said。 ;We need to get to the Demonweb Pits。 Where's the nearest gate to the Abyss拭
   Belshazu bared yellowed fangs in a smile and stared down at Pharaun as if contemplating which of the wizard's limbs to tear from his body first。
   ;Right here察in this cavern察─it rumbled。 ;Just beneath my feet。 Let me show you。;
   Summoning its magical fire again察the demon directed the flame from its hands downward察onto the ice at its feet。 Because the magic was not trying to cross the hexagram itself察the flame took effect。 Enormous clouds of steam rose from the melting ice察obscuring the spot where the demon stood。 A crater appeared beneath the demon's feet察and as melt water rushed to fill it察Belshazu plunged flaming hands into the water and set it aboil。
   Pharaun was leaning forward察intensely curious to see the gate the demon had promised。 He reached into a pocket of his piwafwi at the same time。 Jeggred was still flexing his claws in barely suppressed anger at the insult to his mother。 Danifae and Ryld stood closer to the tunnel entrance察and were talking in rapid sign。 Their backs were turned to Valas察making it impossible for him to see what they were saying。
   Beside him察Quenthel suddenly tensed。
   ;Pharaun察stop Belshazu ─she shouted。 ;He's trying to´;
   Her order was lost in a furious hiss of steam and the loud bubbling of boiling water。 Valas himself could only hear Quenthel because she stood right beside him。 Then he saw what Quenthel was pointing to此the edge of the crater of knee´deep water Belshazu was standing in was crumbling back toward the line of the hexagram。 At last awakening to the danger察Pharaun saw it too´but too late。
   With a hissing roar察the line of flowing blood tumbled into the boiling water and was gone。
   The hexagram was broken。
   ;Wizard´you are mine 
   Roaring his triumph察Belshazu waded through the boiling water toward Pharaun察eyes blazing violet fury at the mage who had so foolishly dared to attempt to bind him。
   
Chapter Four
   Ryld pulled the bag of sand out of the pocket of his piwafwi and placed it on a ridge in the rock wall at the point where the tunnel forked察then carefully balanced a large stone on top of it。 He pulled from his quiver one of the crossbow bolts Halisstra had taken from the surface elves and checked its barbed head for traces of poison。 Seeing none察he used it to cut his palm。 He smeared blood on the tunnel wall察then snapped the point off the bolt。 As he placed the broken bolt on the tunnel floor察he glanced nervously back down the fork that led to the cavern察worried that someone might have heard the sound。
   Silence。 The noise had been slight察and no one was ing to investigate。
   He balled his hand around a rag to staunch the flow of blood察then dropped it to the floor beside the broken crossbow bolt。 Then he pulled his portable hole out of a pocket and flipped the folded piece of phase´spider silk open察laying it on the ground just below the sand´filled bag。 Carefully察he loosened the bag's drawstrings until just a trickle of sand began to fall from it into the portable hole。 Then he hurried back down the steeply sloping corridor to the cavern where the others were。
   He'd been worried that Jeggred would smell the fresh blood on his palm察but the draegloth seemed to have been doing a little bloodletting of his own。 It was Danifae who stared at him as he returned。
   Ryld paid little attention as Pharaun summoned the demon察his mind instead focused on the silent count he'd begun after leaving the bag。 He did glance down in alarm察however察when the demon told Pharaun there was a gate to the Abyss directly under the frozen pond。 It was obviously a ploy of some kind察but Pharaun didn't question it。 Instead察when the demon's hands flared with fire for the second time察Pharaun merely stood and watched察as if curious to see what the demon would do。
   Ryld concentrated on his count此fifteen察fourteen察thirteen 。 。 。 almost time。
   ;Listen察─he said察touching Danifae's arm。 ;Do you hear that拭
   Danifae gave him a suspicious look。 Then察from farther up the tunnel察came the sound or a dislodged stone hitting the tunnel floor and rolling toward them。 Danifae's eyes widened slightly。
   ;Someone is´;
   Her words were cut off by a violent hiss of steam from the cavern below。 Glancing down察Ryld saw that the demon was melting the ice。 He opened his mouth to shout a warning´
   ´then he pursed his lips shut。 The demon was Pharaun's problem。
   Ryld shifted to sign language察in order to speak over the hissing roar of boiling water。
   Whoever it is察I'm going to make them sorry they followed us。 Tell Quenthel where I've gone。
   You're running off after Halisstra察Danifae accused。
   Ryld察startled察was surprised by her bluntness´and by the approval he saw in her eyes。 Was she glad that her mistress would have someone to protect her察after all
   No察he told her察determined to keep up his bluff。 I'll be back。 As proof you can keep this。
   He pulled the lesser of his two magical rings from his finger and passed it to Danifae察intentionally dropping it。 The ring bounced off a rock and began to roll down the slope toward where the others stood。 Danifae scrambled after it察trying to grab the ring before Quenthel or one of the others claimed it。
   Ryld turned to hurry back the way they had e。 He saw Valas shoot him a quick察questioning glance。 Then Quenthel shouted a warning to Pharaun。 An instant later a roar of triumph filled the cavern。 The demon was free。
   Ryld was already several paces away察climbing swiftly up the narrow tunnel that had led them to the cavern。 Behind him he could hear more roaring察violent splashing察and terrified shouts。 An explosive rush of cold air whooshed past him´the blast of a spell。 There was no way to tell whether it was one of Pharaun's´or one cast by the demon。 Then a male voice screamed in mortal agony。 Pharaun's
   For a heartbeat or two察he actually considered turning around。 Then he decided against it。 Pharaun deserved to know what it felt like not to be able to count on a friend。
   He climbed upward察ignoring the sounds of battle behind him until he reached the flattened bag察which he plucked from its ledge。 He dropped it into the portable hole察then folded the hole shut。 He'd shake it out later when he reached the surface。 If the others survived the demon attack and came looking for him察there would be no clues to alert them to the trick he'd played。
   Ryld pressed on察retracing the route they'd taken from the surface。 He'd taken careful mental notes as they descended察pausing several times to turn around to view landmarks from the opposite direction。
   He passed the place where they'd been forced to crawl over a jumble of rock because the ceiling had partially collapsed察then the long察narrow cavern where a trickle of water had encouraged a faintly glowing patch of lichen to grow。 Next came the natural chimney that rose more than a hundred paces above and below to dead ends察with several narrow tunnels opening onto it。
   Reaching it察Ryld looked up the chimney and counted。 The third tunnel above and slightly to the right was the one they'd e through。 Touching the magical brooch pinned to his shirt察Ryld stepped out into the chimney and levitated toward it。
   As he drew closer to the tunnel mouth察he heard a faint clink from somewhere inside it。 Instantly recognizing the sound of chain mail links clinking against each other察he whipped up the hood of his piwafwi and drew his feet up under its hem。 The magic of his cloak enfolded him察throwing his body into shadow。 He drifted past the mouth of the tunnel he'd been heading for´to one side of it察so th
