It has been many months, Imperator. He could be well enough – all a man needs is a little… motivation, hm? And that was all he would say of the dark wolf left in Akashingo. Arsenio had not forged a bond with the sour young man. He had only heard of his skill for medicines.

Germanicus did not deny him.

Arsenio listened as he explained what he would like to happen. The redstone figure nodded his head, agreeing. Speak with Kallik, the lady Imperator would need Aquene for her children’s safe delivery, and then Aquene would have her own children. That would be fine – they could remain until they had grown large enough to travel, or until their mother felt it was best for them to be transported. Arsenio would assist in any way that he could, and he did not believe Tamar would disagree.

It will be done. I will seek Kallik and discuss with him.

Another small nod.

Thank you, Roman. Perhaps we shall make the vale a place of learning for soldiers. If Tamar discovers more about medicines, we could teach this skill, too. Part of this process could be to serve a tour in Mereo under its Imperator? It seemed a sound plan. The vale could be turned into an academy where they would teach and release only the best, the most skilled. Athena would be humbled by its strength.
