Making History
"Should I bring in more Heroes, King?"
As Daneel heard this question in his mind which was from the Head who had moved to imprison Arnold in this way using the contingent of Heroes that he had come with while being hidden perfectly from everyone was present, he shook his head and said, "No, this is enough. The body he is inhabiting is too weak to be able to do anything. Like he said, he's only here to gloat. And I suspect that we cannot even do anything to him – this seems to be a spell where he can end himself if there is even a sign that we are going to do something to affect his consciousness."
Daneel's response was based on the message from the system, which had just scanned Arnold.
It wasn't sure, though, because the spell that it was seeing resembled one that had been theorized and implemented to some extent in the age of the Empire, but which was being cast in a different way, making it apparent that it must have come from the Church.
