Agnes was the dying young girl Kael had found behind the garbage dump—the twin sister of the boy who once stole medicine from town and later crossed paths with him on the street.
Aster and Agnes had always been two halves of a whole, inseparable and impossibly close. When Aster made the bold decision to follow Kael into the temple, Agnes did not hesitate to follow.
At the time, the clergy still held strong reservations about admitting women. The prevailing belief was that their presence would disrupt the sacred discipline expected within the order. Yet, thanks to Kael's growing influence within the temple, Agnes was admitted without much resistance.
