Chapter 4

With Erkads future unfolding in the stars his place along the fortified wall of the
Village grows confusing. Erkad once again turns to Tahren. This time Tahren gives
Erkad words of wisdom instead of a task. The words spoken are the comparison of
the body to that of raw material. Like the ore dug out of the land a body and its soul
must be forged, Tahren says. Tahrens tale of temperament and resolve gives Erkad
the inspiration he needs. Though still unsure of its true meaning Erkad knows that his
past has made him who he is but an unknown future and perhaps even a rare
prophecy will shape him into something new.
