Chapter21

#Chapter21

The inside of the hut has not changed; the smell of decay lingers in the air, mixed with smoke from the wood fire burning in the center, the old man sits, hunched over a grass mat, and throws the bones for Amos, chanting softly as he asks the bones to reveal their message. He looks across the gloomy interior of the hut at the man who has no soul.

/"The ancestors have spoken through the bones, and the message that they deliver to you is that you must tread carefully, for where you go the road is not smooth, and beware of the white light, for the light is more powerful than your demon. Remember the white light casts the demon back into the dark.

/"What do I need to do Oh Mighty One? Guide me for I burn with the desire for vengeance./"

/"Do not let your desire for vengeance blind you, for you will not see what is before you./"

/"Tell me what I need to do, guide me on this path./"
