The Curse of Pirini Lilapa - Guardian of the Core, #2

The Trials have concluded. Since its conclusion, Hydro, Eirek, and Zain have gone their separate paths, thinking each other a distant memory. However, fate has other plans. As the three travel their paths, they find that their lives are not so separate after all. Zain's quest to heal a broken friendship, challenges his ability to lead. It requires him to make amends with his past demons, and to give that which can only be given once.
Hydro's journey to discover more information on his necklace leads him to a mysterious woman who challenges the very fiber of his identity. Revealed truths lead to fatal realities. And Eirek's training pushes him to shed his shell of inferiority for one hardened confidence if he wishes to survive the rigors of his apprenticeship. All, however, travel and train under the ever watchful gaze of the suns which draw closer to their convergence.
To an event infamous for bringing bad luck, sorrow, and pain. To an event that occurs every 150 years. To an event known as Pirini Lilapa. Some look to the sky in superstition. Others look to the sky in fear. And yet, some look to the sky in contemplation. For in the weeks and days before the suns converge, deities die, enemies emerge, and families are fractured as no one is safe from their harsh and heinous gaze.
