"No. I just thought there are other ways to put him back to that place."
"And why would I agree with you?" the Shaman asked. "This has nothing to do with me."
"He is Ava's mate. And Ava— "
"Ava knows how to protect herself. The Matthew then and Matthew now are the same people. Fragments of a soul that was forcefully separated because of a scheme. You — as the guardian of the library of knowledge know that once a fragmented soul reconnects, it would be very hard to right the wrongs. Separating the soul could easily kill him."
The Shaman continued. "Moreover, it already happened to him once. Did you really think he would be a fool to let it happen again?"
"I— But they are not allowed on this plane!"
"We all know this wasn't the case hundreds of years ago." Shaman Gaas sighed. "Fate."
"What?"
"You made me think it was Ava who was the child of malice… when it was Matthew."
"I— "
"You had your suspicions, right?"
