Centuries ago,
It was time to return to Zoah.
Toran remembered when he had promised himself that he would make certain of his sister’s marriage.
It was to redeem his stand before the eyes of his father and to boast to himself. Now, he could only think, ‘Who am I to decide what her life should be?
All along, I have been walking in the steps my father took, and gradually, my heart has been conditioned to be like his.
I’m such a terrible person,’ He thought.
While Toran had to go back to Zoah with them, Tema had to stay behind to watch Tendrin recover as their trust in their parents was far-fetched. It was time for Tema to say goodbye.
‘This whole thing started because of you.
If you had not decided to come here out of your love for Kamaz, I would never have known that there was a way out for my sister. Thank you Warrior’’ Tema said to Falkur.
She had sent one of her chambermaids to discreetly call him to her room.
