He clapped both hands to his temples and shook his head several times, unable to assimilate what he was missing. Then he subsided weakly, as if he had no physical strength to cope with his helplessness. Instinctively, Emrys gathered him into the circle of his arms, staring at Rhys in shocked disbelief.
“You took away his Deryni powers!” Emrys whispered, his tone both accusatory and awed. “One of the most powerful Healers I have ever trained, and you made him—human! Blind!”
