Bak lived in a secure world, free to dream without any struggle to achieve, until he faced a foreign threat which desired to subsume and remake his core. To escape, Bak must lose his self-will, enter a wild realm where life and death means the same, and petition the debris of god to restore him.
"Knowledge and Skill bred from Practice and Understanding is a vocation. It is not an accident that falls upon a man or woman. Yet Bak lacked such vocation. Bak had lived in a world in which family members dictated his schedule, his attire, his appointments, his station, and livelihood. In that world, he was secure. He was free to dream without struggle to achieve. Therefore, any serious thoughts took wings and flitted away. He dabbled in whatever he wished, as long as he followed the family conventions, set by his father’s hand. He was not spoiled by largesse, he was not rotted with overly fond parents, but rather he was permitted to overindulge in self-centered endeavors which did not conflict with the family’s business, both politic and economic. No guiding hand challenged him to attain a complete result, to triumph over a task, to achieve when success was not a guarantee."
"All mortals possess private demons that war with their angels. Bitterness and madness boil in a single pot. Schizophrenic, sinister voices play on the same stage as do compassionate saints. Yet, it was not duality that caused Bak to rage. Indeed, had it been merely his discordant, central man struggling against the path of nature, Bak could have settled with his despair. Rather, Bak faced a foreign enemy within, the parasitic alien forces, which ate at his fibrous nerves to subsume his core."
