“Shadow's secret. Legends foretell of a place where all the causes are made. Causes like the Shadow Seekers, or the Birth of Man. Each had a different aspect of why and how they were made, each with their own tale and their own demise. It's a book of secrets that has always weaved into man's darkest dreams.”
“And the girl? How does she fit in?”
“She is the map.” replied the Father. “And she is the key. Her blood is a holy fluid that flows through this earth once, ever thousand years. There has been records of a special girl like her in the past, a girl that could postpone the one we fear. The girl to resurrect the ones we love, the girl the end everything we hold dear.”
“Father, if I show you this girl can you help us?” asked Nathan, rubbing his chin.
“Sorry my child but I can not. In the name of the Holy Book, and in my name too.”
“Thank You, Father for your time. I shall have my leave.” Nathan said, as he picked up his crozier and walked out of the room. Nathan disappointment led him outside to Badger and back to Neiko place.

Upon reaching Neiko's house, Nathan saw a large apple tree just a good distance away, from the house, after he put Badger back into the stable. He picked an apple, and just sat there thinking about what he was going to do. The only thing that came to mind was to start Star's training but he had to decide where.
“Hi there, Nathan.” Nathan looked behind the apple tree and saw there Neiko looking ravishing. She had a short red dress on her, with feathers on the stop but right under her shoulder. He saw her bare white and smooth shoulder and knew that he desired her very greatly. Her long purplish hair hung down her body, and her pointed ear pocked through her hair. She carried an apple basket, and started to pick them before Nathan could reply.
“Hello there ... Neiko.” replied Nathan, dully. Though she was attractive, Nathan had to turn away from her, but he could not find a real reason why.
