In no hurry to return to Epheotus, I let my mind wander back to my conversation with Seris. What was it that she had said?
"Indrath, Agrona. Agrona, Indrath. You speak as if they are the only two beings in the world, as if there is no choice but to serve one or the other."
"No", I said, my breath roiling the dust still thick in the air. "Neither of you are worthy of service, in the end."
