　The strain of Cara's weight against his arm eased. She reluctantly backed a step.
　
　"I have to get some things," Richard said to Nicci, trying to buy that time. "Wait, at least, until I can get my pack together."
　
　Nicci laid the reins over and stepped her horse back toward him. She rested her left wrist across the saddle's pommel.
　
　"I'm leaving." With a long graceful finger of her other hand, she pointed. "You see that pass up there? You be with me by the time I'm at the top, and Kahlan will live.

　It was all happening too fast. He needed to think of a way to stall. "Then what good will any of this have done you?"
　
　"It will have told me what means more to you." She sat back up in her saddle. "When you think about it, that is quite a profound question. It is yet to be answered. By the time I get to the top of the pass, 1 will have the answer."
　
　Nicci rocked her hips in the saddle, urging the horse ahead into a walk. "Don't forget - top of the pass.?With a distinct gradient perforation that can't be compared to all that many designs in history, Hussein Chalayan's Puma Haast places its name alongside standouts like the Air Moire and its men yellow air max 90 90 Current hybrid.. You have until then to say your good-byes, pack what you wish to take, and then catch up with me if you wish Kahlan to live. Or, if you choose to stay, you have until then to say your good-byes before she dies. Understand, though, when making your choice, that the first will be as final as the second."
　
　Kahlan struggled to run toward the horse, but Richard clutched her around her waist.
　
　"Where are you taking him?" she demanded.
　
　Nicci stopped her horse momentarily and gazed down at Kahlan with a look of frightening finality.
　
　"Why, into oblivion."
　
　CHAPTER 22
　
　As she watched Nicci turn her dappled mare toward the pass and the distant blue mountains beyond, Kahlan was still struggling to overcome her dizziness from what the woman had done to her. Off near the distant trees, a doe and her nearly grown fawn, two of the small herd of deer that frequented the meadow, stood at alert, their ears perked, watching Nicci, waiting to see if she might be a threat, Spooked by what they saw when Nicci turned their way, both deer flicked their tails straight up and bounded for the trees.

But for Richard's iron arms around her waist, she would have thrown herself at the Sister of the Dark. Kahlan had desperately wanted to unleash her Confessor's power. No one had ever deserved it more.
　
　Had her senses not still been floundering in a daze, she might have been able to invoke her power through the Con Dar, the Blood Rage of an ancient ability she possessed. Such rare magic would have bridged the relatively small distance, but, reeling from the lingering force of Nicci's conjuring, the attempt had been futile. It was all Kahlan could do to keep her feet under her and her last meal in her stomach.
　
　It was frustrating, infuriating, and humiliating, but Nicci had surprised her and with magic as swift as Kahlan's Confessor's power had taken her before she could react. Once Nicci's talons clutched her, Kahlan had been powerless.
