Evaline had come out of the Alfort enclosure after listening to the High Priestess's speech. Kiyan had become restless and was itching to go. She heard the boys talking about leaving the village and forest and going beyond the mountains. She had to admit, she often thought about travelling that way herself, but Evaline had obligations, she couldn't just up and leave.

"The reason its just you two, is because only you have shown the necessary abilities to raise and train an alfort of your own." Evaline said patting Kiyan's shoulder. It was almost time to go. "Prepare yourselves, this will not be easy."
