Great Bear Wilderness at the edge of the future

“It is rather strange how we've come to this place one way or another,” he commented, nodding once more. Perhaps for the same reasons that they also tended to congregate in Sedona from time to time too, he believed. The mention of Chakra brought back more faint memories, though Mordecai could have safely said that he had not spent much time with his elder brother. And Mixik had remained ever a mystery as well.

“But I'm glad that we've come together here, one way or another. Maybe this will be our Sedona.” After all, their parents could have more or less originated in the Salvajes and the Neve, and then they moved on. Just as he and Verrine had originated in Sedona, only to come there. A still nameless valley to Mordecai, not that he particularly bothered to learn its name. “I'll have to see if Viggo would come and meet you the next time we cross paths. Maybe once the kids are born and old enough. What do you think?” No doubt he would have to talk it over with Julooke, but they had time on their side. Mordecai imagined it wouldn't be until the spring anyway, but he had no idea what the winter would bring to their coastal span.
