AS KALEL closed his eyes, an important memory of the past played in his head like it was happening to him again…
"The child in the Supreme's womb is lifeless, my lord."
"I know," Kalel said. "Soleil and I just found out that the Moon Serpent doesn't have a heart. And as long as he doesn't have a heart, he will never be born alive."
He secretly met up with the Moon Priestess in the Moon God's shrine to talk about that.
They weren't talking face-to-face though. The Moon Priestess was inside the prayer room while he was outside. A thin wall separated them. Still, they could hear each other just fine.
"When Aku Moonchester killed the Moon Serpent after the war among the moons, he ripped out the Moon Serpent's heart to prevent it from being reborn," the Moon Priestess said. "He knew that the sky god would eventually find out that he lied to him. And so, to make sure that the only being capable of killing him wouldn���t be revived, he crushed its heart."
