Bab 523: Resentful Power

Kieran's suspicions deepened with every subsequent thought he had. 

The Flame grew quiet after delivering its message, leaving Kieran to stew in the enigmatic meaning of its words.

Just when his thoughts regarding the Trial's meaning, the Flame's aspiration, and his purpose gained an inkling of perspective… it was all turned on its head, leaving Kieran perplexed.

The Flame's origins and current conditions were definitely more complex than it led on. At every turn, a new facet of its power and identity was being unraveled, but the core of it had yet to be grazed. 

The Maddened, Resentments, Ruin, and a myriad of other infernal and boundless powers had one thing in common — the Flame. What also struck Kieran as odd was that the Land of Ruin was suffused with these principles.

Did that mean its history was intricately connected to the Flame's presence here? It made sense.
