Part 2: INTERLUDE: COVEN

The Circle of the Coven watched the Human leave and with him went Gwen, the youngest.

This time she would travel all the way to Pluribus and represent the Coven and ask for Union Membership. The decision had been made.

The Human was a great surprise. He had seen them all in their true form and was not terrified or afraid. The Oldest had left the side of the Warrior and had returned to Coven and to the Circle to witness the event.

The Oldest of the Coven said. “He is brave and he carries the essence of duality. His female side is as complete as his male side is. There is no middle ground. He is not the third way as the Narth hope he would be.”

The Oldest who listened to the name of Alycia and was the leader of the PSI Corps for the Union objected. “Sister Luci,, the Narth do not hope. It is a concept alien to them. The Narth say there is a third way, then we who want to be wise, should heed and consider that there is indeed a third way.

We are the Coven and we are bound to the Nether world which stands for the way of darkness and chaos. But we are free to make our decisions and we choose the way of right and good. We made the decision to join the Union. We made the same decision as the Narth did.This seems to be a third way indeed.”

The others in the Circle nodded and one said.”This is so. We made the decision and we shall abide by it.”
