Barnabas is stalling, insists Adam, the life force is holding him up. Nicholas says he should have come to him when Barn was looking for the life force. Nicholas' mouth drops open when he hears Barnabas' choice for the life force--Maggie Evans. Nicholas assures Adam he knows where the lady lives. Barnabas went to get Maggie, says Adam, but Nicholas waves a finger at him and says, in a ragged voice, "NO. . .no, we must stop them NOW!" Adam gazes with puzzlement at the angry warlock.[/spoiler]
Barnabas gazes into the fire. What is happening to me? He leans back in his chair, and begins to dream, thinking, a child cannot demand that someone be killed, he has no right. Oberon appears before him and says, Barnabas, YOU have no right to disobey. Barnabas looks at Oberon, asking, who are you? I am one of them, says Oberon. It was your presence I felt in the room, says Barn. Yes, says Oberon, I was waiting. What do you want from me? asks Barnabas. Originally, you were not one of us, says Oberon, we made you one of us, because you alone could transport our leader through time--we hoped just the act of making you one of us would be enough, that you would be loyal to us, but you are not. You dared to break our law. How? asks Barn. Enemies must be dealt with, that is the law, answers Oberon. "I will not hurt her!" insists Barnabas--the boy is cruel! He is a true Leviathan, says Oberon, he carries in his mind and heart what we believe--you are just an outsider who must constantly prove yourself, because you will never be above suspicion.[/spoiler]
