Gix - Gives Xantcha a mental block

Gix had said the Thran were waiting. The demon could have rummaged the name out of her memories or out of Mishra during the war. Almost certainly Gix wasn't telling the truth; at least not the important parts of it, but Urza needed to know what had happened in the catacomb beneath Avohir's temple in Pincar City.

"I met ... I found . . ." She was still tongue-tied. Had the demon left something in her that left her able to think but not to speak?

It wasn't impossible. Gix savored fear spiced with helplessness and frustration. She didn't know the measure of the red light's power, but she'd lost an entire afternoon in the catacomb, and when Ratepe burst out of memory to save her, she'd been doing the unthinkable: walking toward Phyrexia.
