Harold said, growing rapidly more irritated."Yes.""But you won't tell me.""I will if it is your wish." “Can you at least tell me whether I should go east or west?” “If you wish for it to be so, then it shall be done.” Harold resisted the urge to attack the still-smiling wizard, turned, and walked back to the skyland.  Minutes later, he was following the edge of the Fae Wood east, towards the Landspear. Far below him, Suniel watched until the skyland was out of sight, nodded, and vanished.</blockquote>
