Sorrow pervades the isolated temple.  The Master is on his deathbed, and all of the monks are in watchful meditation, waiting.The Guest, who came here for refuge countless ages ago, is sought out by the members of the temple.  He who has made this place his home, away from horrified stares and vengeful hunters, is the one visitor the Master must see before he dies.During his short meeting with the Master, the Guest learns something that surprises him:  eternity has more than one definition.If this short story was crafted to make the reader want to delve into the longer books, entitled "The Chosen Chronicles", Ms. Dales has done a very good job.  The reader can almost smell the incense surrounding the waiting monks, feel the oppression of their sorrow, and get so involved in the narrative that, at the end of the story, will not be satisfied with less than the rest of the series.I was as surprised as the Guest at the end of the story, and would love to read what happens after the Master dies.  For his death brings joy to all--I must know why!
