When the Gates of the Hall of Reunion and Parting swung wide open, the early morning chill poured inside, and above the barely visible silhouette of the Eastern Landing beamed the glow of the approaching ships of Dar Slovo. A figure in a long cloak and pointy hat stepped into the Gate’s opening.

— Yeva, you cannot just leave the Shelter of Dar Veter, — warned Dar Vilenus.

— You imagine that you can ward me off!

— Juraj, ardent youngling Yeva, why do you think you have never left the Shelter alone? Why have you always been accompanied, either by me, or by one of my Shapeshifters?

This brought Yeva to proper attention.

— Not just because of his sole decision did Dar Veter give you refuge in his Shelter, nor just because of my sole desire did I teach you. The Council of Dars gave us permission to do so. As well, it was decided that you could not leave the Shelter for more than a full day. Dar Slovo, when circling this World in his Chariot, is supposed to watch over that. He, of course, does good deeds, in accord with how he understands them, but I do not consider that restriction over you to be just. Saena and Fawa, Masters of the Shapeshifting, were helping to distract Dar Slovo’s sight from you, until the time when you would become the Master of Life, so the Dars’ taboo would not have Power over you. However, you are not ready yet.

— I probably should feel hatred toward you…and gratitude, too… — confused, was Yeva, — but I feel nothing. I only want to leave your insincere, deceptive World of Dars – I am finished with it. Step away, Dar Vilenus! I am going no matter whatever consequences come.

— I am not stopping you, Yeva, — answered Dar Vilenus. — I only want to give you these Horse Skins. You already have experience in handling Fawa’s one during your childish adventures with Saena. These are similar. You will be able to hide from the restless eye of Dar Slovo in the appearance of the Stallion. And here is another, the Mare Skin…it may become handy, too.

— Goodbye, World of Dars! — shouted Yeva in his full voice, galloping toward the brightening Dawn. — Embrace me, World of Men!

Saena and Dar Vilenus closed the Gates of the Hall of Reunion and Parting in silence.

— He will be happy there, — unconvincingly did Saena propose. — That would be only Just…oh…oh… — he interrupted himself by his sighs.
