Meeting Of The Minds
Midsummer 5, 6107 RTR (Aug 21, 2006) Qing and Morgan face off against the ghost of Valicross
(Morgan) (Qing) (Stonebarrow) (Sylvania) (The Return of Valicross)
---

With Qing's wards in place, Morgan opens the Sealing Box so that the spirit mage can examine Valicross' remains. He finds a powerful dweomer still coursing through the necromancer's body, along with trapped spirits within his staff. After isolating the core of the spell, Qing summons forth the spirit of Valicross for interrogation.

The spirit is incredibly arrogant and insulting, offering Qing power and then goading him into taking the information he needs from the spirit by force. Before that, he forces Morgan to admit to his deception and tell Qing that he is a witch.

Qing is upset with Morgan, but surreptitiously adds him into the ritual he's working to interrogate the spirit. Soon they find themselves witnesses Valicross' past, including his defeat of the young Natasha, and then the breaking of his ritual at the last moment.

As the spirit shows them all of the terrible things Valicross has done, they are able to see the location of his last laboratory before the spirit strikes out at Qing, using the mage's own spell. It tries to pour all of its mind and memories into the Rokuga in an attempt to take over his body. Morgan reacts, and wrestles with the alien magic. This distracts the spirit long enough for Qing to exorcise it.

While recovering, the two men come to terms with one another.
