Until that moment Pepan had been unaware of any change in Vesi. When Horatrim ran to answer the Romans’s cry for help, Pepan had gone with him, fearing he was in danger. Then once Horatrim joined the Romans, their Otherworld signal, a strident blare of horns, had blotted out any other music. So Pepan had not detected the loss of the solitary pure note that identified Repana’s daughter. Now he realized it was gone. Instead she emitted a faint but ceaseless sibilance.

Pepan was horrified. He had failed in his self-appointed duty; he had not protected his beloved Repana’s daughter against invasion by a malign force.

When he sought to discover what had possessed her empty shell, his efforts were rebuffed by a solid core of blackness within Vesi. The voices of the ancestors, who had found it easier to speak through her unresisting mouth, were silenced, driven out.

Though Pepan had thought himself beyond human emotion, he was stricken with guilt and the terrible feeling of helplessness.

He had failed Repana and Vesi once, and now he had failed Vesi again. This time the cost would be much higher.
