Totoka River I'm a troubled man

In some ways it felt as if he'd escaped. Sent on the rescue mission for Minerva alongside the Neredies, he became separated from the team. Or rather, most of them had been separated, it seemed. The chaos that struck this land had done its part to tear apart their mission. And in some ways, Pollux was happy. 

Was he finally free? Those women had beat him (and brother Philo,) ripped them away from the homes of their youth. Stripped them of their identities and turned them into slave boys- destined to give their life for the women, and to serve as sperm banks if needed. It was all too much for him. The women were cruel and unforgiving, and his timid personality only earned him harsher treatment. He was weary with this lifestyle. 

So when he finds himself laying beside the river, he makes no effort to move or explore. What a lucky boy he'd be if he never saw his masters again. He refused to acknowledge the fact that he had no ties beyond the women and no home which he could return to.
