— died a horrendous death, he wanted to finish after crowfeather's echo had died away. tiberius. he scarce wanted to remember that face, let alone in his last recollections. 

some sort of tension surrounded them. crowfeather was not without expression, still, and germanicus found this notable. perhaps it meant that there was a sort of core in the boy that could not be molded. speaking of a mother, in whose ways he had followed. already she was the firmament of his life.

germanicus did not want the younger to be as he was.

it was with authority that crowfeather spoke now. the eagle met the new pace. "is it she who speaks, or you?" he sensed the turning of a page, and fell into silence after, waiting.
