Moonspear it gets better

To be truthful, Charon had just forgotten that he'd made the promise to Jarilo, too. Now that she reminded him of it Charon remembered that he had taken both children out onto the mountain that day and had made the promise. He also knew why he had forgotten that the promise included his son; Vela at the time had seemed a little grumpy at the premise of going all together, if he remembered right, or at least he'd gotten that impression.

"Huh, that's right, I'd forgotten," said Charon idly, unaware that in his children's minds this promise of visiting the ocean had lived on a lot more than in his. "Do you want to call him too, go together?" He'd leave the final decision up to his little princess, as he was fine either way. Could always take Jarilo some other time. Meanwhile, he started to set off towards the borders. With some luck they'd find Jarilo along the way, if Vela said yes.
