“Pug reached the northern edges of the Empire and, leaving his Tsurani
guards, set off across the Thun-held tundra. The strange centaur-like
creatures, who called themselves the Lasura, sent an old warrior to
converse with Pug. The creature revealed the existence of dwellers in the
ice and ran off declaring Pug mad. Pug at last reached the glacier, where

“Tomas studied Pug’s face. In all the years they had known each other, Tomas had never seen the young magician so intense. Quietly Tomas said, “To other worlds?”
“That is why I need you. Your arts are alien to mine. A rift to Kelewan I can manage, but to travel to worlds I know only through millennia-old tomes . . .? Between the two of us, we have a chance. Will you aid me?”
“Of course. I must speak to Aglaranna . . .”
“No.” Pug’s tone was firm. “There are reasons. Mostly, I suspect something even more dread than what I know. If what I suspect is true, then no one beyond the two of us may know what we undertake. To share the knowledge of this quest with another is to risk the ruination of everything. Those you seek to comfort will be destroyed. Better to let them doubt awhile.”
Tomas weighed Pug’s words. One thing was certain to the boy from Crydee turned Valheru: one of the few beings in the universe worthy of complete, utter trust now spoke to him. “I dislike this, but I will accept your caution. How shall we proceed?”
“To traverse the cosmos, perhaps even to swim the time-stream, we need a steed only you may command.”
Raymond E. Feist, A Darkness at Sethanon
