"But, there are also mistakes that no one can accept or forgive."
Kamila said.
"Indeed, but I prefer not knowing such things. I just want Zogar to tell me where he goes, with who, and why.“ Zinya replied.
Kamila stared dumbly at her sister for several seconds, too stunned to speak.

Kelia had spent the ?rst two weeks of her new life eating non—stop while the Horseman ?xed her body. During that time, she had refused any form of contact with Dusk.
Right after bonding with her, the Red Sun had performed a mind fusion that had shown her everything he had done in the past and given him full access to her memories.
