"I never say good-bye to any of my riders," Illyria went on with a laugh. "We are friends for all time, Sheila, never doubt it."
"Are the unicorns okay now?" Sheila asked. "Please tell Morning Star I miss her. I miss you all."
"They're fine," Illyria assured her. "And you mustn’t he so sad. After all, you've summoned me. Don't you know what that means?"
But Illyria never answered her own question. Her voice was gone as suddenly as it had come.
Sheila slumped down on the bed, bereft. She was working hard to fight the tears when another voice entered the room. As Micula had once told her, magic is unpredictable. And so it was Darian who answered Illyria's question.
"What that means, Sheila," he said, half-teasing, half-serious, exactly the way she remembered him, "is that you've taken the magic with you."
"Are you sure?" Sheila asked, her voice trembling with joy.
"As sure as the moon rules the night sky." Darian sounded fainter now, and Sheila knew the summoning wouldn't last, but still his last words were clear and steady. ''I don't know when or how, but you will find a way to reach us again. Of that, I have no doubt."
