“Seize
him,” the prince commands.
“Stay
away,” Robert says, “Not one of you can touch me.”
“Cum
'ere,” Rocknipples says, “Ahl get you, you little...eeurk!”

around Raven and the Guide ripple and contract, before their world is

“What is

“What is
wrong?” Raven asks the troll quietly.
“Can't
get near 'im,” the troll says in reply to both, “Shomething
pushesh us back.”
“Then be
polite,” Raven suggests, “Ask him nicely....and tell him it's
what his mother, Mary....tell him it's what she would want.”
