    Summary

    Chaos necessitates order.

    Sharzad's finally back in Sumeru, but her return home doesn't mean being at peace like she once envisioned. The rainforest is on the brink of a revolution (led by her father, no less) and meanwhile, whispers are spreading among the Eremites that they have a god and queen once more.

    Every action has its consequence and in this now political game, her every move determines what kind of leader she will be.

    Summary

    Alhaitham happened to be the first real guest of Kaveh's newly finished, long-awaited, personally designed house. The place glittered from floor to ceiling, with all the extravagance and elegance a wealthy architect could buy in the heart of the city.

    But even then, some things never change. It couldn't escape Alhaitham's notice that the bathroom was chock full of his favourite products, or that the familiar aroma of sandalwood oudh permeated each room.

    So when Kaveh, after a candlelit dinner, offered (asked) him to stay the night, despite the state of the unfurnished guest bedroom - which Alhaitham knew was missing even a modest mattress - it was as if a decade-long puzzle he was too scared to solve finally clicked into place.

    Summary

    Kaveh is no stranger to the desert. He has been running from himself all his life, and the desert knows that better than any person could. His spiraling inevitably leads to the championship and back to the desert. It must be destiny. He is prone to making self-destructive decisions, and this is no exception. He has always been a painful thing to witness, but no one can pull him from a curse he's placed upon himself, no pity can ever be his salvation. You can only lead a horse to water, the horse must choose to drink or die of thirst.

    There are no rules that govern when or how a life ends. There is no procedure to finality beyond its ubiquity. Naïve child, you, too, will fall to dust. The desert is a graveyard and one day your bones will join the sand.

    or: love, forgiveness, the things we don't say, and the merciless seas of sand
