Wizard 11

Chapter 11
The chapter starts with two Fish swooping down on Our Heroes. One knocks Zedd into the bushes, while the other tries to kill Richard and Kahlan, but is foiled by Zedd's cat. That's one hell of a cat. A short fight ensues, during which Richard cuts off a Fish's arm with his sword before Zedd incinerates both Fish with “wizard's fire,” which is blue-and-yellow and wails like a living thing.
Incidentally, the cat's name is Cat. Just thought I'd mention that.
Richard & Co. head to Chase's house (remember Chase? The boundary warden who likes torturing people). They drop off the cat named Cat and we learn that Chase has a whole Dunedain complex, “Our only duty is to protect the people from the things that come out of the darkness.” Because apparently things sometimes come out of the boundary, never mind that whole “nothing can escape from the underworld” business earlier.
We meet Chase's wife Emma and his daughter Lee, who is “the ugliest child I've ever seen,” according to her loving father. Nice. Chase joins our Merry Band and says he will lead them to the pass, which is called Kings' Port, and is in “a foul place called Southaven.” And the chapter ends.
That was short.
Drinks: None.
