“When the world learns of you, many will seek to use you. I will seek to use you, my boy. Yes. You should know it, and I hope you’ll trust me. And some will want to kill you. Bagsac will find out the truth soon enough, and when he does, he’ll come for you — and not alone. That priest is a fool, but his master is not. When the Supreme Priest Bledla finds out about you, he’ll want you either dead or in Torrlond to use you for his own ends. We must let him have neither.”
