"Is that story true, Asti the Magician?"
"Aye, at least your mother dreamed the dream, for she told it to me and

prayers and give me power--he should protect those who are dear to me.
Mother, they say that you, the Mistress of secret things, can open the
ears of the gods and cause their mouths to speak. Mother, I command you
as your Queen, call up my father Amen before me, so that I may talk with
him, for I have words to which he must listen."

greatest of all the gods, and to summon him lightly is a sacrilege."
"Should a daughter fear her father?" answered Tua.
"When the divine Queen your mother and Pharaoh knelt before him in his
shrine, praying that a child might be given to them, Amen did not deign
to appear to them, save afterwards in a dream. Will you dare more than
they? Lie down and dream, O Star of the Morning.
