Morning Star

CHAPTER XVI
3/20

If so, I almost grieve for Abi, for she had something in her eyes which chilled my mortal blood, and yet you say she is a part of me, a spirit who cannot die, cast in my mould, and given to me at birth.

I would I had another Ka, and that you could draw it forth again, Asti, to bewitch this Janees, and hold him while we fled.

See, that case draws to an end at length.
