Confessor pg 41-70

Zedd by now has noticed that Nicci retreated to the room with the Box of Orden and intends to figure out why. Zed tries to use magic to worm his way into the seals Nicci has put on the door, but it does not work and alerts Nicci who then opens the door. She lets Zedd and Cara in to see her work. They immediately see all of the spell symbols used to put the Box of Orden into play under Richard's name. Zedd is at first furious that Nicci would do such a thing thinking that it will kill Richard and end all they had worked for, but Nicci shows Zedd it is the only thing that they could do. They had to give Richard the weapons to lead them in this final battle and the power of Orden was on of the struggles which would decide who one, so Richard needed to be a central figure in it. No one else had the power or the qualifications necessary to correctly use the power, so Richard is there only chance to win the power of Orden. Rachel has disappeared, so Rikka has been searching for her, but has not found her yet. Suddenly they notice that some of the passageways are making sounds, so Zedd and Cara go to check it out. On the way Six comes in and is able to counter the spells of Nicci and slow her movement down to a point where time seems frozen. Zedd sees what is happening in the distance and is able to cast spells to Nicci's amazement, but they cannot reach Six all the way over there.
Rachel feels an urge to go somewhere, but it is no explained well. It seems she may be being charmed by Six, but I am uncertain why Six would need her at this point. Rachel's urge is making her race somewhere though.
The power of Orden under Richard's control expresses Nicci's and Zedd's trust in Richard's fundamental value, life. We are all only given one life and it is the greatest gift that we can ever receive. Life gives us all the opportunities we have. Existing gives us choices which can lead to many different places. Life can seem discouraging at times because we have to do things that we might not necessarily like, but most times the reason we struggle through those difficulties is so we can enjoy one of the benefits of living. Our lives our in control of only ourselves we have all the choices, so have consequences and some have rewards, but all lead us down a path.
