Elfheim vol. 3 #2 Night Wynd, 1992, b&w.
1 Elfheim vol. 3 #2 cover Hawk is at a stonehedge like place, lost in memories but he knows Windblade is out there, having followed him, telling him to come out, and calling him a twit. They are bonded and Hawk can feel his presence. Windy giggles. In one frame, Windy looks a bit more grown up. In another, Hawk looks very Oriental. Windy wants to pretend they can go back to the way things were but Hawk wants him to be serious. They cannot go back. Windy calls him your highness and he tells him not to call him that, just that he needs his support. Windy tells him he always has that and so much more, things change so fast sometimes. Bran tells Dao that Hawk sure knows how to keep the palace hopping. Little page boys notice Bran, one is named Ting and the other is called Timmy. Timmy? Windy is in a cathedral like tower of glass windows, trying to get a spell right. Hawk gave him this tower for privacy and his magic but he feels shunted away like an embarrassment to him. Turo comes in and tells Windy it is not his fault, just small minded people. Windy has missed Turo who has sad news. Turo tells him it is something private and he doesn't know if he can Windy, his very best friend. Windy grabs onto his legs and tells him to forgive him for not being able to tell him. Windy tells him there is nothing to forgive and tells him not to cry. "I live you Turo," he explains, telling him that nothing can change the way he feels about Turo. Turo has to go away for awhile along. Windy doesn't look too happy about that and asks when he will be back. Turo tells him when IT'S over. He leaves. Greylone and Nendo are in a castle with a white haired boy elf named Kibbi. Kibbi has on a thong and a jewel is on his forehead, between his eyes. Nendo thinks they should torture the brat since his powers are not refined enough. Sidhe magic is focused on extreme emotional energy brought on usually by pain or intense pleasure. He learned that in his dealings with Windblade. Nendo wants to drive a nail into the boy's eye. Greylone needs him intact until they find the others. He puts his hand around Kibbi's right side of the face. On a cliff jutting out, in a dark realm, a naked elf in a dark cape, Ichi, feels someone guided by an adept. Some of his cape is between his legs. He uses his powers to guide the other to him. Kibbi sweats and makes contact. Ichi calls to Greylone that that bitch Windblade trapped him in here. Ichi cries that he will crack if he stay in here much longer. Greylone will bring him back but as his slave. Ichi tells him he can have him, body and soul, willingly to bond with Greylone. Greylone accepts but will leave him there a little longer just to get him all worked up. Greylone is going to perform the right (rite) of three. Ichi gasps. In a few days, Hawk will be coronated. Hawk tells his subjects that Windblade is trying to undo alot of the evil magic Ichi did. Windy listens to Hawk telling his entourage that he knows what they really think of Windblade but he will make changes. Windy figures this is not the right time to tell Hawk about Turo. Turo isthe one stable factor in his life. Turo is in a zeppelin, talking to himself, "I love you, too," he says of Windblade. Turo is all cried out. Garth is on board and he hugs Turo. Garth hugs him and tells him he is his travelin' companion.

  Backup story first page Tapiet knows Silverband has another thousand years before he leaves the larva stage. Earth's poison has thrown the giant worm into a cocoon stage. Silverband wonders what as happened to the cocky little book he knew, the one who wouldn't eat himself up with unnecessary guilt. He needs Tapiet's clever mind to get them out of this. Since the last book survey 50 years ago, Earth was to be one of the fringe planets that would benefit from the dimensional wave, not be poisoned. Tapiet understands now the anguish his patrons feel when they come to the Books for understanding and help. Tapiet swims upward and sees two large lights and flies out of the water. Then he seems to bump right into a man in a hood
