Down the path he ran, away from the questions, the suspicions, the turmoil, rushing like whitewater through his head. He had to find a way to clear his mind of it all, to recapture his faith.

At once, he found himself at the Body Temple and he knew just what to do. Standing in the proper position, he thrust his clenched fists outward, chanting, “Praise Ani! Praise Ani!” No one could accuse him of blasphemy. “Praise Ani!” huff, “Praise Ani!” huff. Lost in the movement, he started to relax into the comfort of the familiar.

“I’ve been looking for you.”

Kiran spun around. It was Cartus. He sucked in air and his knees went weak.

“I want to remind you,” Cartus said with the smile. Kiran let out his breath. “Tonight, at the celebration, you must mind your thoughts and actions if you seek the Right of Emergence.”

Kiran stared at him. Did he dare ask? What exactly was the Right of Emergence? “I understand,” he said with a bow, trying to hide his confusion.

“I trust you will do well, for the glory of Ani.”

Kiran nodded.

“Soon, you will be marked by the star. It is the greatest honor, my brother.” Cartus slapped him on the back, grinning wide.

Kiran eyed him. He’d never smiled like that before.

Cartus looked around at the empty clearing. “What are you doing here alone?”

“Oh, I was no longer needed at the kitchen and was sent to ready for the banquet. As I came by, I felt inspiration to do the meditations.” Kiran bit his lip, hoping Cartus would accept this explanation. I should report Kalindria right now. I should tell him.

“I see,” Cartus said. The smile was back. There was a long pause. “Well, get back to your brothers.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll do that.”

When he arrived at the bunkhouse, he saw one of the older men outside. “May I ask you something?” he whispered.

The man hesitated, then nodded.

“What is the… Right of Emergence?”

The man leaned back, his eyebrows raised. “You don’t know?”

Kiran bit his lip and shook his head.

The man leaned forward. “The blissful release, my brother. Are you seeking the Right?”

“I’m not sure what it is… exactly.”

“Oh. It’s the one thing you’ve been aching for.”

Kiran’s face flushed red.

The man nodded. “Indeed,” he said with a wink.
