Страница: 459 из 495You need the help of another wizard to get it under control-like the last time I helped you-oryou won't be of any use to anyone. Come on, let's get you inside one of these places where it's quiet. Then I can take care of that much of your troubles."
Richard wanted nothing more than to find Kahlan, but he didn't know where to look. He felt like falling into the man's arms and surrendering his destiny to him, to his experience, to his vast knowledge. Richard knew Nathan was right. He felt like crying with relief that help was finally at hand. Who better to help him get his gift back under control than a wizard?
Richard had never even dared to hope to have this opportunity; he had planned on trying to get to Nicci because she was the only one he could think of who might know what to do. This was infinitely better than a sorceress helping him.
A wizard was the only one really meant to help with this kind of trouble with another wizard's gift.
"Just make it quick," he told Nathan.
Nathan smiled that Rahl smile of his. "Come on, then. We'll have your gift back to right in no time at all."
"Thank you, Nathan," Richard mumbled as he let the big man help him through a nearby doorway.
CHAPTER 60
Richard sat cross-legged on the wood floor facing Nathan. The barren room had no furniture. Nathan said none was needed, that the floor was fine with him. Ann, not far away, sat on the floor as well. Richard was a little surprised that Nathan was allowing her to observe, but didn't question it.
There was the possibility that he might want to have her help for some part of it.
Everyone else waited outside. Cara wasn't happy about allowing Richard out of her sight, but Richard calmed her concern by telling her that he would feel more comfortable and able to concentrate on correcting the problem with his gift if he knew she was outside keeping an eye on everything for him.
The two windows had been shuttered, allowing in only dim light and keeping out most of the noise. With his hands on his knees, the prophet pushed his back straighter and, drawing a deep breath, seemed to pull an aura of authority around himself. Nathan was the one who had first taught Richard about his gift, telling him how war wizards, like Richard, weren't like other wizards. Instead of tapping the core of power within themselves, they directed their intent through their feelings.
It had been a difficult concept to grasp. Nathan had told Richard that his power worked through anger.
"Lose yourself in my eyes," Nathan said in a quiet voice.
Richard knew he had to try to put his worry for Kahlan aside.
