Harold thought. “Are you simply unwilling to tell me what you mean by that?” Keeper shook his head.  “I require more access to the Nexus.” “What would happen if we had Keeper ask for a True Stone?” Kormak said.  “As far as we can tell, he doesn't have dreams.” The Hollowed One looked at Keeper.  “This Keeper has no dreams, so if he asked for a stone, I might give him a pebble.” “What if we asked you to create something, not for us, just create it?” The Hollowed One smiled sadly.  “I have no dreams.” “Did you have dreams when you were human?” Kormak said.  “Assuming you were human once, that is.” “I never was human, though this body was once human.” Something about the way he said that made Harold uneasy.  The others had gone quiet as well as they considered what he had just said.  If the body was human, what was the Hollowed One and who had he hollowed out to take the body?</blockquote>
