Moonspear Life is like a ticking time bomb

"Easy enough," Floki replied with a grin as Charon tasked him with his first "official" job. He was always happy to spend time with his brother, but this moment was special. He was thankful that Charon was a part of his life, especially since he wasn't related by blood. Floki didn't often think of the Viking gods that his father had worshipped, but he did believe -- somewhere, in the back of his mind -- that those gods had kept them together when the rest of their family had fallen apart.

He nodded as Charon spoke of his age. "I don't feel much different -- not yet, anyway," he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. Much had changed in Floki's life, so the simple act of earning another month of existence paled in comparison to the rest. However, this day would always be marked with the knowledge that Charon had trusted him to take up the mantel as Moonspear's Beta.

With a more solemn expression, he suddenly turned to face Charon. "Thank you. For everything you've done for me, I mean -- you basically raised me," he said. He loved his mother and always would, but it was Charon that had been by his side throughout childhood and now as he stood on the cusp of adulthood.
