Chapter II (Part 8)
      - Ilderins must have found a way to attain the knowledge of at least some Burhans. Probably pupils, for mentors are too mentally developed. After their continent fell, Burhans were pursued on Adem too. If a mentor was about to die near Evening Light, he must have searched for someone to pass his knowledge on to, so that it would be kept, and then somehow saw to it that this person is brought to safety.
      - On Zibia?
      After a short pause, Avam waved his head after all.
      - It is too unclear. If mentors and pupils travel together, he could have passed his knowledge on to his pupil. And if Ilderins managed to read other people's memories, we wouldn't be sitting and talking here so peacefully now. They have enough prisoners who know this place.
      Jelil became thoughtful.
      Why wouldn't he pass his knowledge to his pupil? How do Ilderins plan to use his memories?
      He had a distant look when, after a moment of silence, he spoke.
      - Pupils prepare for years to receive knowledge of their mentor. If the preparation is incomplete, transfer of knowledge could bring more harm then use. One totally untrained person would have no idea the knowledge existed in him and would therefore be automatically protected.
      Avam looked at him in astonishment.
      - Where did you get such information?
      Jelil didn't answer the question, but continued to follow his thoughts.
      - Transferred knowledge and memories take a separate part in a brain, so that they don't afflict the person that is unable to call them to his consciousness. But, this also enables easier separation of such knowledge and memories. On Burhan this technique is known for centuries...
      - Jelil!
      Jelil startled, as if he just woke from some sort of trans.
      - What...?
      As if he needed a several moments to remember where he was.
      - This time it was different. More intense.
      - You spoke aloud. You answered all the questions that bothered us... Except for one.
      - Why can I remember, when the memories inside an untrained person should be totally neutral and harmless?
      - That is something we'll have to see to. In the meantime, I would like you to transfer to my group, so that I can keep an eye on you.
      Jelil agreed.
      - I will inform a leader of your group about your transfer. It would be good for us to keep the details of this little conversation between us.
      When they left the room, Elefif was waiting at the entrance, worried because of an unusual discussion between their leader and Jelil. Avam noticed him.
      - Ah, it's good that you're here. I want to talk to you.
      He nodded at Jelil and went back to the meeting cave with Elefif.
      Jelil went toward his cave thoughtfully.
      How come I had no unknown memories in the last two month? The last unusual memory I experienced was the one I had right after I came back to Adem. Adem... My world. My home. I know these areas very well, I know the languages, the character of people. I was never puzzled. Everything was clear. Until now.
      He was not sure how well the carrier of his knew memories knew Adem, but it was cleat that Jelil didn't need those memories and knowledge all this time, for he had his own, that completely covered his needs. As soon as he found himself before another puzzle that gathered his thoughts, a foreign knowledge appeared again and gave him the answer. He didn't realize that he spoke aloud, although he did want to tell Avam his opinion. Probably his wish to hide his unusual experiences earlier, blocked revelation of his feelings when he was surprised or scared having one of this experiences. However, when he wanted to express his thoughts, he did that without even noticing. Thinking, he started to fear the consequences of his foreign knowledge. He, in any case, was not trained to seriously accept this knowledge and use it well, without misusing it. All too often good people were tempted to misuse power if given to them too suddenly, and a knowledge of a mentor of Burhan represented power great enough for Jelil to be worried. He was silent before because he didn't know how to explain what was happening, but now he firmly decided not to speak in fear of the consequences. If people would find out that he can use the knowledge of Burhans, who knows what they would suddenly ask him to do. No. He will never speak foreign thoughts aloud.
