. I'm sure we can find a civilized way
to.... Zap? Are you listening? I'd really just as soon
you behave yourself for a while longer. There's no reason
to go off half... Zap? Zap! Where are you, anyway?"
Nothing responded. There was not the slightest hint of
the old spell's presence.
"Zap, are you hiding from me?" The kender peered all
about even though he knew that there would be nothing
to see. "Look, if you're tired of following me around,
that's all right with me. No problem at all. I never could
figure out why you were tagging after me in the first
place." He paused and listened again. "If you want to just
head out on your own, I certainly won't hold a grudge.
In fact, that might be the best thing you could do. Just go
along by yourself - the farther the better, of course, and
do your destiny, whatever that is. You might get a real
bang out of that, don't you think?" The kender frowned
at the absolute lack of response. "Zap! I know you're
around somewhere. Where are you?"
Still there was no answer. The kender sat on a rock,
deep in thought. Maybe the spell had come up with a
new tactic, he reasoned. Maybe it would try to convince
him that it was gone, to lull him into taking it to where it
could explode. On the other hand, maybe this was al-
ready far enough away for it to explode
