"All right. Thank you again." Anik said and nodded courteously. She paid the innkeeper accordingly for his supplies, then turned, and went out of the inn.
She headed north with Mochán, the way the innkeeper had described. While walking, she firstly used her cane, then, after a while, stopped using it, making clicks instead. Sometimes she switched between the two styles, sometimes using none at all, letting her feet find the way.
Some time on the road she said to Mochán: "What you said about how the god looked ... she did not make an echo that would support it. In fact, a large piece of her heart seemed missing.
What do you think about this? Maybe the other gods were a part of her, and something ripped them apart."
