the influence of the Graygem, which is literally Chaos
personified. You hate the Graygem more than anything, yet

admitted, looking at Palin with undisguised admiration.
"So, what do we do now?"
"Yes, Palin," Tanin said gravely. "I can fight minotaur
and draconians ... I'd RATHER be fighting minotaur and
draconians," he added, breathing heavily, the heat and

can't fight chaos. I don't understand what's going on. If
we're going to get out of this, it's up to you and your magic,
Little Brother
