It does help explain WHY Kithran was chosen, if that helps ease any of your minds.

Not at all boring! Creepifying, sure, but boring? Nahhhh!

Nicely done!

I completely understand why Gib is thinking/hoping there is some spell to be broken to free Kith. 

As you can see, it's not remotely that simple. 

She's pretty neat, you guys.

If you were real you could understand.

Someone is angling for extra priviledges!

Just can't lose her too--if so, Kith would lose the last shred of sanity she has left.

I mean, there isn't a lot there either way, but all that is there is obsessed with Davena.

What a good girl Kithran is. 

Psh, she's always been the best!

This song I've had squirreled away for after I had posted the last part of the Little Kithran series in KCandK, when she leaves Calestra for the final time--which I have yet to post. I thought it was pretty well-fitting for that, but with everything that's happened here, it's calling me this way as well.

The song is called Ghost, by Au/Ra and Alan Walker.

I'm losin' touch with everything I know
And I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone

You know I'm like a ghost, sometimes I have to fade
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost

By the by, when I heard this song at the beginning of November (released on the Death Stranding sountrack) it was the first time I had heard of Au/Ra and afterward scoured her music for something I didn't like, to no avail. Her voice is fantastic, and she releases "secret sessions" which are live or a capella, as with this version of Ghost, just to prove it.

You guys keep trying to expand my musical horizons!

Ghost is probably my favorite of all I've shared. Rabbit Hole was close, but Ghost was on repeat for me for weeks and I often, often think about that line, "I'm so scared that I'll end up alone" when writing the tougher parts for Kith.

Plus all of Au/Ra's videos are really interesting to me.

Give me a sad song with a great beat and you've got me.

I'm still shocked at how... Almost foretelling Light and Shadow has been for Aranwen

The beginning being of her past loss

It isn't how it is meant to be 

Then after the interlude, we are at the current scenes in HC

As light and shadow, the sun and the moon, torn between love and hate, I cannot get it somehow

Torn between love and hate. Aranwen's psyche is shattered by emotions right now.

Gaining by losing always haunt us to our dying days. Stuck in the haze, how did it ever come to this?

Currently stunned... With ever mounting guilt

And then... The last line

I wonder how you'll feel about this madness

Oooofta, yeah, that's really good. I mean awful, sad and all, but really poignant and telling of Ara's own mental state.

I will forever just want to give that little Syl a hug and some chamomile and a big blanket.

I was really surprised none of you asked that priest if Kith was alive or where she was when you were locked up. I think I had joked with Olan that you guys didn't really care about her otherwise you would have asked, or some messed up thing like that

But I was really curious what he might have said.

I expected somebody to say somthing.  Never happened.
