Northstar Vale A rebel born free

Siku had gone somewhere else – Germanicus had gone to check on him. He had sent the two ladies to Epoch to see if Nanuq had gone the opposite direction. It was fortunate that both boys had been found. Arsenio did not want to imagine what tragedy could have come to them. The heartbreak that would bring on Aquene was something the Arche could not imagine, and he did not care to.

I do not think he wants to go back, but I have spoken to him about telling his mother. I believe there is a good chance that he will tell her.

Nanuq could stay in Epoch until he was ready to face this conversation. If his brother returned home and the young man felt inclined to follow, Arsenio would only make sure that he arrived safely. As for the dutiful soldiers at his border…

Thank you for coming, he said with a smarmy expression. The cold blue of his eyes shifted between Tierra and Minne, waiting to see if they would ask for more.
