and what was with that "ball of silver light" last chapter that came between Alex and Zeres when they had there "stare down" last chapter? That is why i'm wondering if Alex was spelled.
With all of the similarities between Zeke and Zeres i'm wondering if Zeres is a "mole" like Zeke was with the veiled lady. If he has all this planned and is fighting to not be revealed. Hmmmm but which side is he on?
