Northstar Vale A rebel born free

The dark girl with crimson on her nape was the first to speak. Her tone was chipper, bright. She had been sent on errand by Germanicus. They were seeking word on the boys – Siku and Nanuq. Arsenio thought it impressive that they had gotten searchers to the vale so swiftly. Aquene must have been at her wit’s end. The redstone figure regretted not leaving sooner. No parent should have to wait to hear the fate of their child.

Ah, yes… I had intended to come to you. I merely had to prepare before making the trip, Arsenio responded when Minne said nothing. Nanuq is here. He arrived healthy, no injuries. The boy, I think, is finding himself. It was a difficult thing to traverse. If Arsenio’s children had disappeared from their home before their first year of age, he would have spent every waking hour in worry.

Nanuq asked to stay and I told him that he is welcome to. For as long as he needs. But, I- Arsenio frowned thoughtfully. He did not come with Siku. The Epoch leader did not know where the other boy might be. This worried him, even more.
