The ritual

When Evin emerged from Kena's room, Ssatsko greeted him, then asked what happened. Evin replied it was a private matter, and also mentioned that Evin might stay with Kena for some time. 

Ssatsko seemed curious about Evin's conversation with the former Aspect, but there was no way Evin was going to talk about Endra's origins. Ssatsko then said that Lora and Theor preferred to stay among humans or ivari. Evin nodded and promised he'll talk to Lord Kena. 

They parted, and Evin's mind became preoccupied with the impending separation with Endra. Despite knowing it was the right thing to do, there was still a dark cloud looming in Evin's heart. 

<Are you okay?> Endra asked. 

<Yeah, I'm fine… But are you sure we should be doing this?>

<Yes… Evin, you know I love you, but can't settle with being the voice inside your head. just can't. It's not that don't approve of life, it's just… Even if a longshot, have to do this.>
