Chapter 9
The Eye
“Welcome to the fold, wizard.”

I stayed in bed until noon the following day, though I slept very little while I was there. My phone rang several times, but I ignored it. Miraculously, I was able to make a pot of coffee, but I was halfway through it before I found the courage to go online. If I was ultimately going to be little or no help to anyone, why was I bothering?
Still, I wanted to see if Aether had emailed me back. There were the requisite number of spam messages that still found a way through my filters, along with a message from Howard. I deleted it, unread. I couldn’t start the day like that. Instead I opened the email Whistler had sent me earlier in the morning.
Whistler:Just got home. Need to write down everything and then sleep, if I can.
