After Tilsitar left the heavens, after Coraadrin and Colthan began their wonderings to take healing to the world, after this and many more things came to pass, things of grief and loss, Ikata sat with Ewathat, god of song, in the new heavens on the foundations built by the billows women and dictated these words to him, so that they might be set to music. It is called The Path of Fire.
Mighty bellows women, what you could have been!
Great craftsman, you who should have been a friend!
Why did you go from the home you helped build?
Why set out again into the world, purposeless?
Did you know what task was laid before you,
When you strode through the gates of heaven?
You, who could have been the hero of the heavens,
Great as your master, giver of new life to mortals,
But that is not the path you chose.
Instead the path you took was one of fire and wrath.
I have built you now a home, that you may yet find rest.
Would that you be free from the wretched voice,
And walk amongst us again.
These are the events that led these words to fill Ikata’s heart.
