While the dark picture where a middle-rank sorcerer's head was blown up in public hadn't been entirely erased from Blake's head, nothing could stop him from listening to 'Arcana Voice' and 'News of the World', which was the entertainment all over the islands that was even more popular than parties and balls.
"Good evening, this is the Weekly News Review of Allyn, and I'm your old friend Lark."
Blake felt that he truly had one more friend when he heard the crisp and calm voice every night, one who told him stories late at night and who made him feel familiar even though he had never met her.
'Lark' reviewed the important news piece by piece, and Blake listened attentively. He was now delighted at the progress in research studies and now was worried by the gloomy situation in Holm.
