At the very moment when Lyra’s soul returned to the Banner of Hope to cleanse it, her love for the Keeper did not fade, but on the contrary, flared up even brighter. This pure energy did not dissolve without a trace, but condensed, giving rise to a new life. From the very core of the shining Banner appeared g’Arh-Huma-MaitTi, which in ancient dialects means Armaiti, “Righteous Thinker”. She was the White, Rose-Busty and Rose-Fingered Maiden – the embodiment of the purity and light of her father, bearing echoes of the tenderness, warmth and life of her mother, whose essence remained in every particle of the Banner. She was neither mortal nor immortal in the usual sense, but became a living bridge between eternal duty and fragile, beautiful life. Her purpose was not to carry the banner, but to sing to it. Her voice is the living music that feeds the seven banners, making them shine even brighter. When a Keeper senses that one of the principles embodied in a banner is weakening, he only needs to hear his daughter’s song. Her voice is both the wisdom of a father and the compassion of a mother. The Keeper no longer has a duty, he has a cause. He does not protect abstract principles, but the world for his daughter. And there is a great irony in her existence: he lost his love to save her, but in the end received a gift that binds him to her forever.
