I don't know if it's possible, or proper. I cannot tell what Ince thinks.
She accepted because of her understanding of her progenitor. She feels
she must guard Eoe and discover any connection with Kyd and the Mirhveda
construction site. These things drew her in not belief or even curiosity
about the ancient reputed lines. I can't tell if that curiosity has since
arisen within her. She appears to be doing this only to control as much
as possible the Progenitor's force and disruptive intent. She suspects
the Progenitor seeks power from the source lines.
I will send you more of my thoughts whenever there is another courier.
I know you won't follow this wish of mine, my dearest Gallett: please
don't worry. I shall do my best to extract the rider from any negative
results of her acceptance. And she, as well you know, will shield me if
that is at all possible for a corporeal being. She will, as she has ever,
ensure all of our lives if that can be done.
I have
not yet spoken with the rider this evening. She hasn't come in. Before
the night fell moonless upon us, night drenches the Rift suddenly and completely,
Gallett, and this part of the cycle there are no moons here as their paths
never rise high enough in the sky, but before, when the sky above was a
knife blade of pink and orange with the latening sun I saw the rider above
us sitting upon a bald outcrop. Thinking. Working. She held a pad cupped
in 1 hand. She will perform this acceptance and meet these source lines
if it can be done.
Like
no other, is our rider.
