Chapter 14

At last, Charine has found Kortempest. The irony of it all is that after
finding Kortempest, her life continues as it always had - to fulfill the
prophecy of Eternal Night. Perhaps Kortempest had intended for that all
along, and perhaps Charine was born to be a champion for the Ccul'gra upon
the Prime. And perhaps it does not matter, because Charine retains her free
will and enjoys the various benefits of being a conjurer and a Scion. A
deterministic view of the universe is a self-fulfilling hypothesis, and is
an untenable one because it is impossible to find any means of disproving
it. Whatever happens, it was 'meant to happen all along'. Charine has no
liking for philosophical thinking. In magical talent, she is strong, but in
her desires, she is like lesser Ccul'gra, and her weapons are knowledge and
magic.
