Chapter 476: Judgment

Weeks had passed since the last Culling of the Voiceless, and Kieran was overcome with crushing indolence. Whatever the Flame had used as fuel robbed him of his desire to accomplish things.

However, that was neither an ideal situation for Kieran nor the Flame. 

Kieran needed to search for the answer to this Trial and unravel the mystery of the Chronicle and the Flame… it wanted many things and one thing all at once.

Still, he lingered in a malaise where he spent most of his days staring at the ceiling in transient thought or hating the Equality Gate for its ineptitude. Deep down, however, he knew the mystic symbol could not be blamed. It didn't deserve his ire.
