When The Everwake saw the pointed tents standing on the coast from a distance, he paused. A hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes as he lowered his gaze to Evangeline, who was nestled in his arms. "What are those?" he asked softly.
Evangeline's long lashes fluttered. She followed his gaze and, through the hazy, heavy snow, saw the pointed tents and the Beastmen moving about the camp. "Tents," she explained. "They're like caves—a place to live temporarily. But they're useless in a storm. They're what keeps them from freezing to death during the Cold Season."
The Everwake marveled at this. When his seven-colored eyes looked at Evangeline, they held a peculiar light.
'He really wanted to know how many more surprises she had in store.'
As they were about to land in the camp, The Everwake suddenly grew nervous.
'He was about to see Genesis.'
His heart ached with deep guilt for the son he had failed for so long.
