Raine's reaction was immediate proof that Valdis had come to the right person. The woman's logical nature probably overrode her sense of disgust at the revelation, but Valdis had to admit that she knew almost nothing about Raine, she hadn't even looked at the woman's soul. Valdis disagreed with Raine's assessment of the Void, because even though she had used it to protect others, it was a weapon created for one purpose, to utterly and completely destroy lives.

"I have multiples reasons for telling you," Valdis replied, quickly ordering the top three reasons in her head, "The enemy said in his conversation with me that he didn't kill Evandau with his own hand. He is a liar, but the thought crossed my mind that my power could still be responsible." It didn't terrify her as much as it had before, but the possibility was still there. "Secondly, it is becoming more and more difficult to control its power." She sighed, "But most importantly, I came to you because of what your magic did at the Midnight Hotel."
