“Love is a mystery. We embrace it where we can. Mostly we do not choose whom we love. It just happens. A voice speaks to us, in ways the ear cannot hear.

'You died defending your land. The Gods of Stone and Water will welcome you.'
'We are not cowards,' said the dying boy. 'But we . . . spend so much of our lives . . . running from the gajin.'
'I know.'
'I am frightened of the Void. If. . . I wait. . . will you walk with me into the dark?'
Kzun shivered. 'I have been in the dark, boy. I know what fear is. Yes, you wait for me. I shall walk with you.' The youngster gave a tired smile, then his head fell back. Kzun closed the boy's eyes and stood.”
