Artaax glanced at Blixen as she joined them, noting that she appeared to be just as nervous as he. Fortunately, Thuringwethil did not leave them hanging too long before she shared her purpose for calling them.
The boy was silent as he took in her words, rolling them over and over in his mind. He was not one to question - only to obey. But in this, even Artaax couldn't hold his tongue still. "Why?" he asked softly, his frown of concern shifting to one of impending heartbreak. He couldn't find his way to a reason that would explain why it was they had to go and leave Wildfire behind. It was obvious to him that his mother wasn't ready for travel, but why did they have to? Why couldn't they wait? Why did they have to abandon her to these strangers?
