Vinoh is stunned by his horse's quickening pace and notices with relief that everyone's horse does the same. The exhiliration of the ride, combined with the inner strength brought on by the knowledge that his guildmaster is watching in some way, fills the mind mage with resolve and vigor. His will is at its strongest and waiting to be tapped.
Despite this steadfast feeling of invincibility, Vinoh remembers the trials of the previous night and the insanity that overcame Tower. Even though he wishes he could will safety for his friends, he knows that, ultimately, each of them must come to terms with the Dark on his/her own. All he can do for them is hope that their resolve is as strong as their desire to serve Good and protect the innocent.
While he has no doubts about the noble Thantos, the wise Father, the courageous Darghon, the dedicated Gell, the resourceful D'Aleen and even the overconfident Attrah, Vinoh can't help but wonder about their new companion. However, his thoughts are lost among the rush of the forest and the mind mage steels himself for what may perhaps be the greatest challenge he would ever face.
