  The knot of wood, and its more lightly colored twin, had fallen free of the staff when Oliver had climbed out of the battered old jeep in the middle of the Egyptian desert and, with Diana’s help, split the staff against the fender of the vehicle. The staff had splintered in two places and given up the two tightly wound burls of heartwood. From that moment neither of them had felt anything when they touched the staff, so Oliver had judged it safe to give the powerless relic to Senator Wheeler.

  Oliver and Diana had each taken one of the smooth knots of wood as a memento of their expedition. Diana now wore hers on a silver chain around her neck, while Oliver kept his in the leather pouch.

  He smiled to himself, feeling the gentle prickle of restrained power against his palm. If he closed his eyes and listened, he knew he would feel the twinge of a power beyond his understanding pressing softly against his mind.

  “Oh, I’m sure.”
