Roland patiently explained it to her, still wrapped in the drowsy haze of
the devilweed.
"Ka is your destiny. And tet is a group. It is High Speech, you see. Ka tet
is the group who shares your destiny. All intertwined. When I was young my
Ka tet and I traveled to Mejis to learn of life. Cuthbert, Alain, and I
were more than brothers. Our connection ran deep. We shared the Shine and
we three were stronger for it. And then Susan came into our lives and we
four battled the evil that ruled the land."
He paused briefly.
"They all died."
He paused again.
"But my Ka was to go on, and years later a new Ka tet came to me, drawn
from Keystone Earth. Your Earth. Eddie, Susannah, and Jake were drawn to
Mid World. And again, it was a bond stronger than blood. We were not
lovers, but the physical, element was not necessary. Our souls were
intertwined. And once again, we struggled against the evil of the world."
The truth he did not tell was on the tip of his tongue, but he dared not
speak it. There was a fifth in his Ka tet, but Walter was no friend. He had
been Roland's nemesis his whole life, as long as he could remember. Their
Ka was bound, he and Walter. Good and evil were always together. Walter had
always been the most constant body in Roland's Ka tet.
