The Power of Gnaris (23 page)

“You are now
an honorary Karavec.”

“Thank you,
great god,” he said.

“Though you
have the appearance and mind of a human, you possess the power of
gnaris, which makes you the equal of any Karavec except the members
of the Council. Are you willing to submit yourself to one who is on
the Council?”

Forster
glanced again towards Elena, and smiled as he spoke. “Yes, I am
willing.”

“Now you deal
with the traitor Joodrow,” the god instructed him.

Forster
accepted the knife from the Great Savant, light passed from the
eyes of the gods to Joodrow, and then Forster slashed through the
neck of the co-pilot. Joodrow’s body collapsed into a heap before
the gods.

“There is one
more issue to be resolved,” Kingirow said to Barrow.

“What is that,
great and mighty god?”

“One must be
chosen to replace Lolena as a member of the Council.”

“Who do you
choose?”

“We choose
Elena,” the five gods boomed in unison.
