Wizard 24

Chapter 24
Back to Darken Rahl. He has been talking with Carl for “long days and nights,” presumably with Carl still buried to the neck in sand. Carl has now decided that he hates his parents and they are the enemy. He prefers to throw in with the guy who left him buried to the neck for several days.
Rahl remembers taking a girl to his bed and (it's implied) murdering her, just in case we forgot he was EVAL! for a minute there. \~/
Carl, having been thoroughly brainwashed, swears that he wants to help Rahl and will do whatever he has to, including die for him. This accomplished, Rahl kills him in a particularly bizarre way which I shall not go into here. Alas poor Carl; we hardly new him. Rahl takes two full pages to cast a spell that summons Carl's spirit from the underworld in the form of a Shinga, which is apparently an underworld beast. There's also a bit where we learn that Rahl is a vegetarian...I'm not sure if that's intended as some sort of slam or merely characterization, so I shall defer judgment.
And that's that.
