Endings and Beginnings — E.M. Sinclair

While the Asatarian boy, Endis, struggles to understand how his life must change as he learns the ways of a Seer, Tika too must learn some lessons. Reluctantly, she is forced to face the fact that she has made certain decisions for very personal but very misguided reasons. She procrastinates until finally, another takes action, telling her it is on her behalf. Tika is angry and saddened, but also accepts the whole sequence of events was due to her own mistakes.
