Chapter 5: Lost and Found, p2

6:27 PM, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, FOREST OF HOURS
Ander looked at the sky, checked his watch, and estimated that the sun was going to set soon. Hopefully Jerik and Tyra had at least made it to the coast by now—Lethya was starting to get a fever, and he wasn't sure how much longer she could hold on outdoors. Abhaya was curled up by the cot, clearly having put all fears and doubts towards her 'mother' aside, and wouldn't leave other than to eat and drink. Anthina was amusing herself making a card house, but whenever she turned away, Mihir blew it down and hid behind a bag.
A faint drone picked up on the edge of Ander's hearing, and he straightened, l

"Fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and

Chapter Four, Part Two

>The sun had let loose a torrent of memories about a boy named Ander. She'd gone through many of the star memories in order to stock up with enough little memories that she could at least partially grasp what was going on, and so she had a tentative grasp on what her life was looking like and who exactly this Ander was to her.
It was also starting to become clear that her life was—well, it kind of sucked. And it was starting to put her in a bad mood. Waking up was going to be like waking up from a lovely, pleasant dream, only to discover that you had no money, the rent was due, you were starving but the fridge only had moldy pickles in it, yo

7:34 PM, MONDAY, MAY 31, 6118 AD, RODERIS, FOREST OF HOURS, NORTH RHEANIA, SATURN
The wind twined through the square, whispering a silent lament. Ander could only stare at the shell of Lethya, feeling empty—feeling like the connection between reality as it was and as he knew it had broken. He knew he was in shock. He knew that soon the numbness was going to fade, and the pain would be unbearable at best. And he knew Lethya was dead.

Ladies and gents, Ani. Yes, I know about her name (both the kanji and the usual meaning of "ani".) I'm three weeks from a B.A. in Japanese. It's deliberate, trust me.

Ani was deposited at a monastery at age ten. Her mother probably thought it was a normal monastery. Her mother was also sadly mistaken. An order of souhei, or warrior monks, they were a little-known faction mainly utilized as assassins by the warring powers. (The ability to detach from all worldly concerns is quite useful when someone needs to be taken to the cleaners.) The monks were trained in some performance art - singing, dance, mastery of an instrument, etc. - as well as a complementary fighting style. Ani was taken in, discovered to be a terrible performer in any kind of musical setting, and subsequently assigned to the acrobats. At age 20, she was turned out of the monastery, citing a) a complete failure to master detachment, and b) the fact that as a woman, she was a distraction to the monks.

What happened after that is anyone's guess.
