Heil'ro (Term)

The name given to Halimer Grant by Joeslee Teel (Tigue) at Rialite. The Gypsy word for Ghost People. Joeslee believes that Halimer Grant is at Rialite to murder her.
From: Mahogany Trinrose, Ch 12, ' "You have shared your secret with me," said Joeslee, hardly seeming to hear Ercy. "I will share our secret with you, because I am the last." And as she spoke, there was such a lifting of an intolerable burden that Ercy just let her go on. "We had two Heil'ro with us, claiming travel shelter. It was ours to protect them. But where we camped, far from here, but also desert like this, there was a storm, and a flash flood came, breaking houses in town but not the small land on which we camped. The Heil'ro magic, you see. The town people saw, too, and came to kill us all. We failed to protect the Heil'ro. And since I am the last, he is here to take my life because we failed our obligation."
