Invoking the Name of Passion was far more difficult than any other Nephis had ever invoked.
Perhaps it was because, unlike the other Names, the source of this one was Nephis herself.
Her own longing, her own desire, her own yearning, her own passion… she had to know them, to burn with them, to admit them starkly without pretense or falsehood. Then, she had to infuse them into the Name, and channel that Name with her soul.
Shaping the world in accordance with the melody of her heart, and forcing the two to resonate with each other.
The act itself was an immensely difficult one… after all, what human was completely honest with themselves? Completely honest about themselves? Who wasn't scared of bearing themselves and laying the truth of who they were out in the open for the world to see?
For them themselves to see?
