February 28, the new moon rose in the sky.
In an Angie of Aiwass's room, Sherlock immersed himself in reading the Codex Book while Aiwass initiated the unique ritual for advancement.
The reason Sherlock was overseeing Aiwass's ascension ritual was because Lily's separation had reached its most critical moment.
The full moon would wither and decay with the changing of the lunar phases, just as a flower turns into fruit, nurturing new life within itself. That fruit was the new moon... the Lightless Egg.
It would grow by devouring light, and with the cycles of sunrise and sunset, it would once again become the next full moon.
The Egg Moon Manual described the art of self-splitting and self-nurturing, which follows the changes in lunar phases.
For this reason, the birth of a "new self" had to be completed on the night of the new moon.
At the moment, Lily was alone on the second floor, preparing for her self-splitting.
