'There seems to be an extra Gift for the children of this year. Has one not been brought forward?' Tribesman Aldus shouted over the Gathering.
'Maybe they died?' one of the Clansmen offered.

'A child has been hidden or abandoned, or else, the Gift would not be here,' Tribesman Paean explained, a slight tremor of anger in his voice.

No one said a word.
And three knew the truth.
'The Daughter of Truth is not here!' a Clansman yelled.
Jedi spun, along with most of the Gathering. Marck Ross had not been the one to speak.
Someone else knew of Verity's existence.
