Keladry og Lalasa var nået en tredjedel af vejen ned af Balors Nål, da et voldsomt vindstød fik tårnets jerntrappe til at rasle. Keladry koncentrerede sig voldsomt og knugede så hårdt om gelænderet, at hun ikke bemærkede den store rødbrune plet der dækkede det meste af næste trin. Foden gik igennem, og i næste øjeblik sparkede hendes venstre ben i den tomme luft. Hun turde ikke røre sig. Benet blødte kraftigt. Hun så blodet dryppe på tagstenene tyver meter nede ... Keladry er tilbage på Tortalls væbnerskole - ikke længere på prøve, men som page på lige fod med drengene. Hun må stadig kæmpe for at bevise sit værd - men især må hun kæmpe med sig selv for at overvinde sin højdeskræk.
