KIT MADE HER WAY THROUGH the Temple to the high priest’s office. Just as she arrived, two acolytes standing outside his door scurried off.

“It’s rude to eavesdrop,” the young priest yelled. Kit was just about to knock when the high priest called out to her.

“Kit? Is that you outside my door? Come in, child! Come in!”

Opening the door, the familiar smell of old books and peppermint greeted her nose. The high priest's eyes were practically bulging out of his head; his voice filled with awe. “I could feel your presence from outside my room. You are truly a miracle of faith!”

Kit wasn’t sure how to react. Her gut instinct was to turn and run.

“Father?”

Seeing the distress on Kit’s face, the high priest let out a booming laugh! “Sit down, child. I'm only teasing you. Aithlin just left a few minutes ago. She could not stop gushing about your experience, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun with you.”

“I don't think it's something to joke about,” Kit said, almost as an admonishment.

“Sorry, Kit, but the way Lin was carrying on it was as though you actually experienced direct contact with Titan himself.” The old priest could barely contain his laughter.

Kit cocked her head to the side, hoping that seeing the high priest from a new angle would help explain his bizarre behaviour. “Your Grace, I fail to see the humour in this.”

The old priest's face blanched. “Tell me exactly what happened during the ritual. Leave out no detail.”

Kit began by taking the seat the high priest offered her. She kept near the edge of the oversized chair, so that her feet would stay in contact with the stone floor.

“Well, Your Grace. I'm not sure what Lin told you, but my experience was very ... vivid.” She continued to explain to him what she had seen and how she had felt during the ritual. Absentmindedly, Kit put her hand on the icy mark she felt when she awoke from her trance.

“Child! You ... you have been chosen by Titan!” The old priest sounded proud of her.

“I don't want to be anybody's chosen one.” The words caught in Kit’s throat. Her voice came out much higher than she would have liked. It made her sound like a petulant child.

The old priest gazed upon her with gentle eyes, and he again began to chuckle. “You are not the chosen one, at least not in the sense that you are seeming to suggest, but you have been selected by Titan to take up the mantle of freeing him from his icy prison.”

The priest said a brief prayer before folding down his high collar. Father Hoarfrost flinched as a mark on his neck began to glow a pale blue but lasted no more than a moment or two. “I, too, was chosen by Titan, but I was unable to complete the tasks he set out for me. He has chosen many, but the trials to free him require inhuman abilities.”

Father Hoarfrost became lost in thought.
