“I know, Simeon. I know. Yet you are alive, that is an answer to prayers.” He told the boy, oh how he had grown. “You are strong. Your mother would be proud.”

In his heart he hoped that Simeon would choose to return with him to Rivenwood. But, he was old enough to do what he wished, and to follow the path that the Father has set for him.

“Your brothers are here? Have they stayed? I encountered Judah, and Malakai. You all have grown, so much.”
