Richard raced back to his allies who had made a perimeter and found them all brutally decimated. Richard investigated the area, but found no tracks. Nicci, Cara, Victor, and he started heading to Altur'Rang to get horses because Richard plans to go somewhere. They traveled through the forest to not be tracked, and when they stopped for the night Richard asked Nicci what she knew about this thing. Nicci explained that she believes it is another contraption of magic manipulating people to form a weapon as Nicholas was. When she was investigating Jagang's use of magic to make people into weapons, she found that Nicholas was just a stepping stone to make some invincible monster. She thinks they may have succeed.
Nathan back in Owen's homeland found a concealed storage of prophecies, but something is unusual about them. He knows some of the books, but they have blank area's that he did not remember, but he cannot remember and other word that are there although he knows there should be. He tries to show Ann to see if she can explain the discrepancy, but she does not know what is happening either.
The beast is worrisome because that is most likely the cause of Kahlen's disappearance. When I was reading the the problem that Nathen knew was there but could not figure out, the problem occurred to me. Kahlen is in prophecy along with Richard, so the missing blanks in the books of Richard's prophecy are Kahlen. She did not only disappear from peoples memory, but she disappeared from the existence even in the books that were written over 3000 years before this point. The cause of her disappearance is strong. I think since Richard was near death when the magic to cause people to forget Kahlen was released it did not effect him, and that is why only he remembers her, or the bond between which prevents the confessor power from affecting him also wards this magic as well.
