to see the extent of that error. If the Ka-Ken's shard was seeking preservation of the host even at the expense of Ka and the First Ark, what would this Set's shard prompt him to do? What had she unleashed? "Do as you will with me, but know that if you do not stop Set it is possible for him to remake your species in his own image. If he gains the second access key he can use the Ark of the Cradle to shape helixes just as you have done here," Ka explained. Perhaps it wasn't too late for the damage to be mitigated. "If you can reach the Ark first and stop him, then you can seize control of it. You can guide the growth of your own species, helping them to adapt to this world until the great warming begins." "Very well," Isis said. She turned to her companions. "Let us go from this place. The voice in my head says we must go south, that there is a great land there. A continent it calls the Cradle. If we reach this place, we can stop Set and help rebuild our tribe." Osiris gave a nod and strode from the central chamber. The others followed. Ka hoped for their success, for if they failed its actions could shape the world into something that would horrify the builders.
